| Tekton Double Impacts audioman,not sure if I'm following you entirely on your Maggie digression. If you go back to the first post of this thread I had the 1.7's coupled to REL subs. Nice for sure, but I sold them and kept the DI's. Better detail, speed, imaging, sou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Personally, I am not troubled when someone has a contrary opinion to mine. Always been an independent thinker without a need to be in the mainstream of things. If someone wants to challenge much of the consensus on this thread--go for it. On oc... | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Not to be offensive, but how in the heck can I guess what YOU think is beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as the saying goes. You're going to have to figure this one out yourself. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts limniscate,You might be surprised how many of us, who love our Magnepans, moved on to the DI's. It is IMO an overall better transducer of music. I was shocked when I first got these and noted more detail and ambient information than my 1.7's--no... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts hifiaddict,I enjoy on occasion those recordings that exploit that bottom octave of music. In my room, the DI's are optimized for a big stereo image and I won't sacrifice that by moving them towards the front wall. Given that, I have very high qu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would agree break in is rather fast with the DI's. I felt after 75-100 hrs I was there.Interesting comments on driver break in by Eric. I suspect that the prolonged break in by some speakers may relate to woofers with particularly stiff rubber... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Funny you mentioned the Gold Lions hifiman5----was reading on Upscales site the 12AU7's reviews and others felt this to be good choice in terms of what I would look for as well. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles, not at all do I mind. I have really enjoyed the quality of the posts and individuals on this thread. Never did I imagine this thread would take off as it did--and still going strong! While there are many divergent opinions on gear we h... | |
| what speakers to buy Lots of good choices out there.I'd save the road trip. To me, it's not very helpful to listen to a speaker in an unfamiliar room/electronics. Just a poor way to make a big decision. You have to do a home audition.So taking a chance on the Tekto... | |
| Should there be concern? After many good transactions finally had a bad one. Seller rated as mint. I found a total of 5 defects. While we renegotiated this to closure, what a pain this was!Yes, there is more overrating now than before. There is a similar post from 3 we... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Brian,If you enjoy the fundamental qualities of you current electronics I can tell you that the DI's will let that shine through. Can't imagine a "problem" that you will encounter-so I would not let that concern hold you back at all. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts brotw,The advice I would give is simple--trust your ears! While I'm sure there are some valid points made in this guide, I for one would never listen to my DI's up against the front wall. Yes, you will have gains in low end extension at the cost ... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? Agreed Walter. It amazes me that people have nothing better to do with their time than torch a given brand at every opportunity. Imagine reading the thousands of posts on the DI thread just waiting for that perfect moment to inject some venom.... | |
| Are you seeing more 9/10s? No I won't "lighten up"Audiogon criteria are very clear and objective.Just bought a "near mint" piece that was a 7/10. Told the seller to renegotiate price or take it back. We renegotiated.When I sell my gear it's graded exactly with full discl... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'll be curious to see how your search for an amp turns out mac. You are wisely taking your time.I think it's great that several A'gon members have shared their amps in an effort to help others find an amp that suites their needs. One more examp... |
