| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives Since you have Tekton Double Impacts, why don't you ask on that thread. Many are driving their DIs with tubed components.One that has not been mentioned yet in this thread would be Rouge Audio. Something like the Stereo 100 would likely be in the ... | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @drrsutliff I will! But you pretty much summarized it for me. : )Same here also in terms of gear. My preamp is being swapped out because there was a glitch, so I will have to repeat the break in process. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @iamasif How are your listening sessions with the Double Impacts going? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay Fantastic! The wait is going to be painful. : ) | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @drrsutliff : Thanks! Good to hear your personal impressions. Very helpful. Also reassuring that you found enough of an upside to decide on a full loom upgrade from the SEs.I will post some early impressions vs my current cables in a day or so. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @deadfan23: Sometimes glitches can be a ’godsend’ : )The only Tektons I have experienced personally are the DIs. Others on this thread have more exposure to Tekton Design offerings and I’m sure will be able to offer you good advice.My room is appr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @iamasif: Congratulations on getting your DIs and in system. Let us know your impressions once you have them setup and dialed in to your preferences. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @iamasif:I'm 2 months into my waiting period for the grills.Soundocity was recommended to me by one of the regulars in this thread (sorry I have forgotten who specifically). They have a product with wheels.Isolating the DIs will reap benefits. I h... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts @craigl59: What other DACs did you try before finding the RME to meet your needs best? Thanks. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @iamasif: "....but for now I want to use Def.Tech center channel which is 8-ohm, is there any harm in mix-match 4/8 ohm speaker."To your concern above, not at all. You may run into some volume issues which I believe your XMC-1 can adjust so that L... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @iamasif: As Kenny says, your Emotiva has way, way enough power.As for the centre channel integration with a different speaker, try it out and see if it works. Sometimes it does.I don't know if you are only running 3.X or 5.X or more... BUT, I've... | |
| Need Amp Advice Congratulations. I'm very curious to learn about your experience with the Devialet 400s. They were an option I recently considered, but I decided to go with a separate preamp and keep my current amps (at least for now). | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers @tooth2th: Responding to your original post.The Triton Ones were a strong contender, among speaker choices for me. The Reference was announced about a week after my first lengthy audition of the Ones. The dealer stepped up and offered me an excell... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts From Mark when I asked a similar question of him:"We can provide up to two more sets of RCA outputs. There just isn't room for XLRs. We can provide a set of rca to xlr adapters for $50 made of very good Eire and connectors."Having XLR was/is ne... |
