Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic
I would love to hear comparisons with the Audyn TC. A relative bargain!  
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?

Hi everyone,My hearing went back to normal after I showered. :) Best,E 
Tekton tweeter design
Anyway, there’s not much more useful stuff I can add here. As I’ve repeatedly stated, my goal here was narrowly focused: I wanted to discuss the innovation in the tweeter array accurately and point those who are curious to more resources to see ho... 
Doing the Power Cord Thing
Kind of on a related note, I was trying to clean up my cabling, and I have several lengths and kinds of balanced IC’s, most of which I made from DH Labs pure silver wires. I wanted to go from a 2m pair to 1m, of the same kind. When I did, the left...

I don’t get it with you and your strange obsession with giant motors made of lousy magnets. I call slander. Where have I been obsessed? I just don’t like micro magnet tweets, based on sound, measurements and compression. They tend to suck. If I wa...

BTW, I use a version of a ring radiator previously used by Krell, Sonus Faber, Magico and YG Acoustics in my desktop monitors. It's not that much more expensive (at least at retail) than the tweeters Tekton is using. My point is, judging performan...

I am not sure how you could possibly assume that a large number of tweeters is going to narrow the dispersion… I'm not assuming, I am estimating. It's called physics. The larger the effective radiating surface, the lower the frequency at which be... 
Focal Electra BE series
Focal likes making speakers with a lull in impedance around 100 Hz. They are more amp sensitive than a lot of other speakers for this reason. If you want to keep your amp and are looking for something easier to drive, I don't think that's where yo...

Hey Tonykay : You say you are "...neither a fan boy nor a detractor of Tekton," yet you are the originator of this thread and the most frequent responder. I have no financial interest in Tekton or any other. I make my own speakers, and like to ...

Hey Jetter, For technical questions like that, DIYAudio is a better place than Audiogon. :)  Best,E 
Cable insulation, graphene, electron flow... how does it work?
Hey @three_easy_payments : Some things to note: The Seas graphene mid-woofer has a heavily redesigned motor. If you read the Seas white paper they make most of the discussion about the corrosion reducing properties (a very important thing for Mg d... 
The Science of Cables
I have to say there's nothing more confidence inspiring than lack of brevity.

We are back to pricing the steak at the restaurant. These are relatively inexpensive soft domes, but very nicely performing. Probably perform much better than a lot of micro-motor tweets in famous named kilobuck speakers out there. The interesting...
