| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? @mr_m Exactly! It's quite easy to hear this problem. I'm curious though, which speakers DID show this issue for you? This reminds me of the old Polk with their cross-feed drivers. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? I know you are a 1 seat kind of guy, but we all move around a little. Some of the worst speakers for this are Sanders’s flat ESL designs. No comb filtering issues, since it is a single panel, but the sweet spot is a 1mm cube. Your neck and shoulde... | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Hi @stfoth,Yep. Unless the designer is a huge moron. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact phase issues? Hi Trytone,OMG, the BS lobbed at Tekton speakers by arm chair speaker designers has been incessant, and mostly wrong. Comb filtering / phase issues are incredibly easy to detect. Just move. Move around and listen for a consistent stereo image as y... | |
| Buy raw Audio Note ISIS cable and terminate myself? I would get the solid core silver IC's from PartsConnexion. A little brittle, but I haven't heard an IC better. Put together with Eichman silver bulletsBest,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering @mofojo,If that was directed at me I don't see the dots you are trying to connect. I've always (starting months ago) said they were interesting and I would probably recommend listening to them based on design and measurements. I've also said that ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I did say reviews showed Tekton’s were off on sensitivity. I never said they were bad. The SB Acoustics ring radiators are highly regarded, and not really that budget, especially 7 at a time! Also, I find the design pretty interesting. It is a nea... | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa Also, the Casa Nova DAC is very nice, especially at 96kHz/24 bits. With redbook it isn't as good as modern DAC's are, but absolutely enjoyable to listen to.Best,E | |
| Theta Casa Nova vs Audio Prism Mantissa I had the Casanova, loved it. Among it's best features was the incredibly flexible sub-woofer integration. If you are remotely interested in ever going that route, get the Casanova. However, the manual may drive you nuts. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering kdude66Technically that would be induction, not deduction. Best,E | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Without getting into the original arguments about comb filtering, this measurement of the Enzo XL from Stereophile implies Tekton is not above optimistically rating the sensitivity. JA measured 90 dB vs. specified 96. https://www.stereophile.com/c... | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs If you want to talk SS amplifier designs, I strongly suggest you look into the late Dr. Marshal Leach Jr.His 1976 paper, "Build a low TIM Amplifier" codified the modern SS amplifier and set the standard for designs for years to come. I write a lit... | |
| Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system If I were going to make a single system out of that gear I probably would keep the integrated and get a horn loaded system, either vintage JBL or Klipsch or Altec Lansing. :) That would make a really great sounding combination, and discussion piec... | |
| Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system I kind of agree with Elrod. You have to REALLY like this gear to keep it. Requires care and feeding due to age. That's why I was suggesting to stick with the integrated, and a tuner or streamer, and sell everything else, where it will go to some o... | |
| Yamaha M70 Amp : Is this true ?...Warning of mylar capacitor being fire hazard Well, this is interesting. The "trick" was really quite advanced voltage tracking power supply. This isn't just a mod, but an entirely different power supply. Also interesting, is that the Yamaha EEEngine and nuForce seem to use variants of this i... |
