Tekton Double Impacts
@333jeffery, two things:1.) How are your Ulfs doing? Have they they settled in yet? You think they’re still that much of a difference between the DIs, say, the DIs are about 70% of the Ulfs?2.) It might sound like I’m biased, but I swear I’m not. ...

@Mac48025, interesting about noise with the Blackhawk. Did you let Dave know what you were hearing and did he happen to say anything about it? I'm curious, because I don't want to go down the Blackhawk path if I'm going to have problems that can't...

@muzikmann, if they are the adapters made by Benchmark I've not been able to detect any degradation. https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/cables/products/benchmark-rca-to-xlrm-adapter-cable I've had prior experience with other adapters of this s...

@waltersalas , so you ended up keeping the Double Impacts over the Daedalus Ulysses, or was it too much of a toss-up, or did you keep both?I'm sorry if you already answered the question definitively, and I missed it, but there is a lot of stuff to...

Speaking of the AHB2...I went to the Raven Audio shop today, courtesy of Dave Thomson, the owner. Raven is in Onalaska, Texas, about 80 miles north of Houston, where it was a trip well made.Meeting Dave was a fantastic experience, as we waxed on a...

@teajay , will do!Also, I noted your enthusiasm over the Role Enterprise speakers. How would you say those hold up to the DIs?  
Tekton Double Impacts
Interesting that Terry brings this up. I happen to be going over to Raven Audio tomorrow to check out their tube amps, as well as hearing their DIs. :-)They are even letting me bring my AHB2 to compare their amp against mine, into the DIs. How's *... 
Tekton Electron has been released
So, no other Electron owners, huh?  
Tekton Double Impacts
I know this question has at least been partially touched upon, but I wonder if there is a consensus, to wit, how far is optimal placement of the DIs from the front wall? I generally have no more than 2ft or so from the front wall to work with, and...

Yeah, Dirac Live does not do DSD. It maxes out at 24/96 I believe.  
Tekton Double Impacts
@kdude66 , no, I don't know when the review is going to be posted. It should be soon. Yeah, you're right about the crossovers and such. Whatever I end up with I'm going to pretty much play them 24/7 for awhile.  
Tekton Double Impacts
I just read a really good review on the Electrons. It’s not posted yet, so I can’t cite the text yet; nevertheless, yeah, we’re talking the same sentiments that the Electrons fight well above their class against speakers that are 3 to 4xs as much....

The Lyngdorf is certainly exceptional value. On another note, I cannot wait to hear the Double Impacts again. I have no idea what to expect in my environment, but...I don't know. Will it sound good?!!! I'm favoring, yes.  
Tekton Double Impacts
@grannyring I've experienced that one-box solutions like the Lyngdorf and DEQX have better results rather than shoehorning a solution into a computer, fed through software that integrates into a third-party software like JRiver and Roon. I'm not s... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Off topic, I know, but it's all in the ear of the beholder. It also takes into account furnishings, surface hardness of walls, windows, ceilings, floors, and in a lot of cases Linn has measurements of the speakers in use. Not the DIs, of course. S...
