| Tekton Impact Monitors @teajay Do you also have experience with the Townshend Seismic Podiums, and if so how do they compare to your Sistrum Platforms/stands? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles, I get that and I understood what both you and Tom were communicating. Your most recent response makes that even clearer in the brilliant way you (and only a few others) are able to. And I fully accept your findings and results with the MZ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 @jozurr OP, I’d have a very, very difficult time parting with the Chord Dave, and you say: "I LOVE it." Is there any other way you can save some ’dough’ as you put it, and keep the DAVE?Denafrips has not been mentioned yet. There are new models th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @lancelock April isn't that far off. Thanks for the heads-up. Chicago in mid April sounds more appealing, than Chicago in February. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles, it's difficult for me to understand your and Tom's findings to be mainly "listener taste" and "room" dependant. I can, however, accept system compatibility or optimization (or lack of) within a system playing a role, but to a degree. For ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @lancelock I'm interested in your new LTA ultralinear also and hope I can hear it in person when I get to Chicago and visit Audio Archon. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jon, I will let you know regarding findings with the Lyric Audio integrated. It's primarily in service to give me guidance on a 'best case' tube pairing for the SEs, as an alternative to my Pass separates.I can see a tubed pre & amp or integra... | |
| Where to go next, DAC or Preamp @limniscate Can you be more specific on what those differences are and how it makes "a much bigger difference?" Thank you. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I don't think you will get much benefit in using this device with the Tekton's because of their already "super tweeter" range. Well put, Terry. : )Great to hear you have a pair of Impact Monitors in for review. @teajay Is your Pass XA-25 review g... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors It's more out of curiosity. It would be interesting if someone has attempted to do so. Perhaps Eric can comment on this?Since you have focused on the lower frequencies, I was wondering if you had also given thought to the opposite.I'm satisfied wi... | |
| Power Cables and Affects on Timing (and speed)? @folkfreak Does the same apply to the trailing edge?@jayctoy Do you find / feel that 'tonal balance' and timing are related/connected? How so?@folkfreak @jayctoy @geoffkait Thank you. | |
| Power Cables and Affects on Timing (and speed)? I have been evaluating new ICs.Anyways, I forgot that my main power cord (same pc loom across my components) normally used to power the Pass XA-30.8 was being used with a recently arrived integrated amp. To keep the Pass amp energized, I was using... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Thank you, Scott. Very clear an apt rationale. My sense was that you were looking for higher levels of performance from the low frequencies and your approach is delivering on that.It is also strong validation of the beauty and performance of Eric'... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, no need for an apology (in case it was directed at me) as I was neither offended nor insulted. I enjoy this thread (even when it diverges from the primary intent) and now your videos and am looking for more insights and learning via both med... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @sbayne I saw your system listed in the main 'Recent Posts' page the other day and took another look. Sweet!You may have answered this earlier in the thread...with your subs and how the IMs are stacked above them, I'm curious about your reasons fo... |
