| Tekton Double Impacts David_ten:Your recent amp adventures; are these Lyngdorf 2170? Am much intrigued with this option, especially since KDude has embraced the efficient design. Cannot reconcile, however, my discouraging experience with Class D amps last year. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks, David_ten.Have checked with Teajay and am awaiting a call back from Alfred. Would, ideally, like to have return privileges in case the first chosen amp doesn't have the power and will check first with High End Audio.Again, if any others on... | |

The ADI-2 DAC is different in that it has all dsp functions only addressable through the unit controls. The other RME ad/da converters use the Total... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Terry:Enjoyed your review of the Pass Labs XA-25; this is an amplifier type/price point I have been searching for. Purchased the DIs, btw, partly on the basis of your original review (seems like a longtime ago, doesn't it?).The lack of a balanced ... | |
