| Does Anyone Know Much About Chord Electronics Amplifiers? @kijanki - point well taken, as I, too, have owned the Benchmark AHB2, and while it was superbly transparent, I thought it also lacked balls. Then again, I never had two to run in dual mono configuration. I've heard that can make a big difference... | |
| Does Anyone Know Much About Chord Electronics Amplifiers? Ha! Cool. I mean, I've heard that they are excellent amps - in the upper echelon of Class A/B design. The thing is, there are a lot of used Chord amps out there for a good price. I'm just trying to separate the wheat from the chaff, you know? I do... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released @evolvist--your sour grapes are beginning to ferment. Not really. I've said very little. In fact, I pretty much closed my own topic in the other thread. I haven't posted anything in quite a while. It's just that the last bit I felt was particul... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Congratulations, Eric.Parasound's [with Tekton Design Electron SE speakers] room was one of the few with a system that cost between $5,000 and $20,000. Yet, it sounded oh so musical.It's nice and reassuring to see how much can be accomplished wi... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Honestly the overriding criteria should be the ’end result sound quality. There are numerous ways to build a speaker /cabinets and obtain high quality sound. The knuckle wrap isn’t indicative of the final sound. What if a particular speaker prod... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions They might be braced well, internally, but they fail the knuckle test big time. Tap on these Tekton speakers and you can hear the echo all the way back to Utah.Now, whether or not that has anything to do with the sound that comes out of the Tekton... | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? Whoops! I meant to write "Super Plus Platforms." My bad. | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? @geoffkait - Ha! I think in this case it's more, to couple or integrate. THAT is the question! | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? @ebm Yeah, that's what the general thinking is. I suppose I could try them both ways, it's just that the thick plastic at the bottoms of the speakers is an unknown. The cool thing is, if sat the base right to the Ultra Platforms, my speaker height... | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? Old thread, I know, however this is the spot to ask my question. I have speakers that have a very thick PVC type base. The speakers, themselves, weigh 215lbs a piece. Now, do you think it's best to put the speakers flat on the Ultra Platforms, or ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @waltersalas - Well, there's nothing really to "set straight" per se. You're correct, there's two side to every story, and I certainly don't want to belabor the issue. I simply wanted to send a warning, because, to be frank, there are other peopl... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @aniwolfe - that is also a good moral! The thing is, I'm looking right now at the little slips of paper that Tekton kept my record on, and it reads "trading later when mini ulfbehrts are ready" dated 09/18/17.In fact, on one of the slips of paper... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcarcopo ...I think the moral of the story is, if you're going to make a deal, you honor that deal, and you especially don't attempt to screw over the customer.There was several times that I felt like backing out of the deal, and I even told Tekt... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts ***A word of warning before you buy from Tekton*** Well, it seems that I won’t be getting the Encores after all. Tekton had sold me the DIs under the premise that they would be on loan to me until the “mini ulfs” were ready. This was on 10/02... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Cool. Yeah, I'll check it out. Converting DSD to PCM is a no-go for me. Not that DSD is better quality than PCM, as some claim, but I have a number of remasters that are unique to SACD, so I have a lot of SACD rips. Converting to PCM is lossy, or... |
