| Tekton Double Impacts Wow, high praise, indeed, from Clement Perry. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I recomend Blue Jean cables over anything else. I've had the usually suspects in my system, but there's nothing quite like the sound of unsullied music hitting my speakers (or at least as uncolored as copper gives you). It all comes down to person... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey, that's good coverage! Congrats @tektondesign !People seem like they have to sound a little apologetic in this audio world, for owning $3k speakers, because mo-money = mo-better (or at least we psych ourselves up to hear that). If this guy was... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Absolutely. I'd also add the two ww's. Toga party at teajay's, anyone? : ) That's gross, dude. :-) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I didn't care for the GE Triton Reference. That all important lower-mids just wasn't there, and I was pretty sure that no room could compensate for it. Perhaps EQ. Of course there are a ton of speakers that don't do lower-mids right. The DIs are n... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Out of curiosity, when you say you suspect you may not be getting realistic bass response, are you referring to output or clarity or...? Yeah, I mean, I'm entering into the world of speculation, because I haven't experienced it yet, but it mak... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @hfaddict - What is it that you understand about about compressed vs. non-compressed music? It's true, from my findings, so far, that the DIs do not artificially goose the bass, as they are more of a pure transducer. However, they are also monster... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Greg, yeah, man, I'm amazed with these DIs, and I haven't even got my room treatment in yet. These have tripped me out so far. Last night I did some critical listening for the first time. Granted, I have a long way to go with my recently gutte... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - Here's the rub: I didn't mention the cost of the Linn in my original post, only it's features. You, and others, brought price into the conversation, which is cool, but as the conversation morphed it became apparent to me that we we... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts This is what I was getting at in an earlier discussion today regarding the Linn and Lyngdorf cost ratio and performance. The High End market can "sometimes" be deceptive and contrarian with regard to cost, prestige and pecking orders. Very tric... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts You comments are interesting and somewhat contrary to the near universal praise of the Lyngdorf by those who have heard it. I get the impression that Kenny is as impressed with the Lyngdorf 2170 as much as Grannyring is. I don't believe my comm... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well, no, it's more than just a DAC and pre-amp in that it's a streamer, as well. Moreover, it's quite possible that the DAC section alone kicks the hell out of just about anything put there, including the Lyngdorf by more than a few miles. I've h... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts evolvist, The KDs/3 is not a current product, and the Linn site doesn't show a single streamer/DAC with a power amp built in? https://www.linn.co.uk/hifi-separates/network-music-players/klimax#klimax-ds The breakdown is like this:K = KlimaxDS =... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts You guys should just skip all of the hassle and get the Linn KDS/3.The input is straight off of any music server via ethernet cable, so you can say goodbye to any colorization from USB cables and any extra box between the source and a DAC. It is s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aric is great to deal with. He's finishing up my amp and will probably ship at the end of the week. Which amp are you looking at of his? Tom,I'm looking to get one exactly like yours! :-) |
