New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions @gdhal Since it looks like you are planning on keeping the Yggy past the 15 day window, here’s something to consider.Throw away the critical evaluation hat. I really mean it.Enjoy your music for a month or so. Then listen to each setup for a few d... | |
Tekton Electron has been released @aniwolfe Yes, not a fair fight or comparison.Have you considered an external / software solution for room correction? That would allow for a more direct comparison.The other would be to remove and turn the correction off in the Lyngdorf. | |
Tekton Double Impacts @teajay @tektondesign Terry, thanks for your wonderful review of the Tekton Design Ulfberths.I'm always moved by your writing style and skills. Amazing!Eric, Congratulations to you and your team! | |
Tekton Double Impacts @rmasoni has personally recommended it on the tube amp thread I asked for input on:"Call David Berning directly and ask him to tell you about his 300B or 6B4G push-pull amp that he builds on request. It is spectacular. His ZOTL circuitry, fully b... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @mikeg Both sound like good options. I'm not familiar with the Tidal amps. Do they still make them? I loved the Ayon Spirit II integrated I had ages ago.In case this helps influence your choice, my wife is partial to Porsche. She has much better... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025 Thanks. It’s good to have your current take on Aric’s amp using the KT88s and then how the 150s work for you in the future. I’m a huge fan of the 2A3 but was worried about the SE’s efficiency and took that option off the table. It’s nice... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @aricaudio Aric, Great to know that you are open to a parallel 2A3 build and other options such as the 211. As you know, I'm working on getting the digital front end finalized. Once the SEs are in system and I have a good feel for them, a path fo... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad I'm happy the relationship remains brotherly. : )It ultimately comes down to one's interpretation. I knew I'd be in the minority, and that's ok by me.You and others, that have more history here and a much deeper and wider exchange bet... | |
Tekton Double Impacts @vitop JMO, and sorry if I have offended. Not at all. In fact your post was both beautifully written and thoughtful. | |
Tekton Double Impacts David my friend, what am I missing here? That our general reaction, the number of reactions to the post, some of the tone used, the 'defensiveness' of some of the posts, some may even say the 'aggressiveness' of some of the responses........do... | |
Tekton Double Impacts Charles,Love and respect you brother... and you know I'll be calling you for advice and guidance on any number of things audio....BUT, I'll say, in this case, that we have different definitions and experiences of what 'open' is. | |
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I should have the Denafrips Terminator in my system by the end of the month. If you are right...oh the pain (to the wallet). : ) | |
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Bill, Understood. And many great DACs out there. | |
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Bill, you make a valid point with respect to the OP. And I agree. If at the end of the day gdhal doesn't hear significant differences, it is an easy choice to make...either way works.The other aspect of this is value. We all value the differences ... |
