| Dedicated transport or CD player as transport? "Just my opinion but would you gain that much better sound for the money? You have pretty good components so would the CA CXC be that much better than your Marantz 6006? Would you be better off selling the DAC and moving up the line?"Good though... | |
| Dedicated transport or CD player as transport? jl35 - does the cxc play CDR's? I have quite a few discs burned off my hard drive. Also what are the main improvements you heard with a dedicated transport? | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review @millercarbon Also, I'm noticing the clarity of the highs is also very pleasing. I have about 75-80 hours on them now and I think the speakers are coming together even more. I played around with the Ares 2 DAC and tried the fast filter on the OS... | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review @tablejockey. You are correct that the woofers are surface mounted, not routed in flush. I understand that Eric at Tekton has done some custom things for customers in the past. Zu speakers are also surface mounted, in fact they (Zu) have a metal r... | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review @glupson No, never heard them first. But several years back I built a pair of speakers and tried to copy the Lore model - and they sounded pretty good, but were so ugly, I finally got rid of them. I spoke with Eric several times and read every pri... | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review @millercarbon Correction, the baffle thickness is 3/4 inch. I measured just now, earlier, I assumed it to be 1". Most speakers I've owned have been in the neighborhood of 5/8" | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review @millercarbon The center one is crossed higher than the other 6. I used a cardboard tube to listen to one at a time at low volume. I know, very high tech. I've built maybe 6 or 7 pairs of speakers in my life, I had to know what was inside. | |
| Tekton Design Enzo 2.7 or Lore? Help me decide. These are my initial impressions of the Enzo 2.7’s. I considered their Lore model and even the Enzo XL, but decided on the 2.7’s in part because as I get older, the big heavy XL’s seem like backbreakers, and the Lores don’t have the mid/tweeter ar... | |
| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review I would agree. That’s why it took me so long to try them. | |
| Tube amp - tube socket problem Thanks for all the feedback. I cleaned all the sockets with the De-Oxit cleaning kit. On very close inspection, I found a couple of socket contacts that were bent/loose. I gently bent them back with a very slim awl and presto, no more problem. I n... | |
| Tube amp - tube socket problem Thanks guys - I ordered this:https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/vacuum-tube-survival-kit-caig-deoxit-goldI’ll clean first and then tweak the contacts if need be. Being 16 years old maybe it just needs a little cleaning. | |
| Tube amp - tube socket problem Forgot to mention I tried 4 different tubes, switched sides ect. I now have a new pair in. Problem persists. | |
| Tekton Design Enzo 2.7 or Lore? Help me decide. OK I just ordered the Enzo 2.7 in charcoal and should get them this week. Will post impressions after break-in period. | |
| Tekton Design Enzo 2.7 or Lore? Help me decide. Thanks for the input. I joined the Tekton facebook group and I'll post what I decide. | |
| DAC bakeoff: Denafrips Aries II vs Topping D70 vs Parasound Halo integrated Thanks for the review. I received an Ares 2 a few months back and enjoy the sound too. At first it sounded a little thin tone wise but has broken in nicely. I leave mine powered on all the time. The other DACs I have for comparison are the built-i... |
