| Tekton Double Impacts Charles and Tom, Thanks. In your case Charles, would you say that your personal reference for 'musicality' and what you prefer is based on your time in the analog realm which has led you to your choices in system build and synergy? (Tom, I'm not s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Are those of you who are using tubed components, primarily or mainly running analog as your source? Thanks. | |
| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives @whacky: In your initial post you stated this:"Ideally I would love something that would increase my sound stage and provide as holographic and precise an image as possible. Absolutely love closing my eyes and feeling the exact space of the recor... | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @corelli: It's incredible how music can be such an amazing time-machine. Your post took me back 17 years to a very small restaurant in Girona, Espana, where I heard the Koln Concert for the first time. Had I been with my date, I probably would ha... | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @johnmarzy: Thanks for sharing your time at the Positive Feedback room. Very helpful. And well written,...took me there. | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. Kenny, given your love of piano, here is one that is much more off the beaten track (tracks 1, 4, and 8): In Search of the Miraculous, with music by Fazil Say, Alan Hovhaness, Vache Sharafyan, Siobhán Cleary, John Surman and Rabih Abou Khalil. And... | |

| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @steakster : Terrific write-up and read, and informative. The mags should let you freelance for them. Thank you, very much! | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @nicks25: Thanks! | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. Nick, PM me when you get them in and they have settled-in. I'm really curious about your impressions. For me, it was between Spatial and Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxativ. | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @grannyring : And I agree with you as well. And your points are spot on.However, many manufacturers, and distributors and dealers who do have experience setting up gear and have a significant stake in making sure their products sound good, have ve... | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @nicks25: And I respectfully agree with you. I've been interested in two of the speakers you mention liking at the show - ELAC and Spatial Audio. In fact I nearly purchased the Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S, and I still may in the future. But you've co... | |
| Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show. @aolprodj :My point, as I believe, other posters in this very thread have made absolutely clear is that feedback from a show is absolutely useless with respect to one component. Do you hear one positive report in this thread regarding the DIs from... | |
| Center Channel on an Integrated Stereo Amplifier In terms of AVRs, I haven't been familiar with Pioneer Elites for years now. My last AVR was a Marantz. Before that Sony ES and before that Yamaha. I think you will have a number of good choices. One I would recommend looking into is Anthem. | |
| Center Channel on an Integrated Stereo Amplifier @shawnpmathew: Hi Shawn. OPPO is a good choice, but there are others as well. It depends on the feature set you are looking for and your budget. If you go the AVR route then you don't have to spend as much on the player. On the audio end, the main... |
