| Planar Speakers and Diffusors I have extensive foam absorption on my side walls and ceiling with 90oz carpet. My front and rear walls are 3/4" cherry plywood with the entire room super strong and non-resonant (my profile indicates the $150K that went into building it). My old ... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? In 2006, I had already owned a highly modified SME IV ($1100 in 1989) and wanted to upgrade from my VPI 19-4 (bought in 1982/all upgrades after). So, I purchased a VPI TNT (upgraded platter). It REQUIRED a Townshend Sesimic SInk due to terrible ... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I listen to music every night from 12 to 2 am and immediately fall asleep after a listening session, regardless of dynamics (but not most rock). I tube roll once, generally stick to the tubes chosen by the manufacturer but listen to my friends who... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms @unreceivedogma I agree concerning the VPI 19-4 and my main table since 2006, the VPI TNT VI, probably a lifetime quality construction (and simple too). My best friend has a VPI Scout and it did have a flat worn out bearing. He had an expert firm... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign YOU are NOT a humble person. I am not savvy concerning electronics and have NOT insulted your typical bargain priced speakers. My query sounds to some other posters like mine, the same speaker cannot sound the same at double and tr... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign You did not answer my question how you can design (redesign) a speaker to behave optimally at three different impedences. I would not compare your Ulfberht to Focals as I have heard neither of them and my friends and I are not part... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @tektondesign I never said that the Pendragon wasn't a good buy for most listeners. It's price as most Tekton speakers are in the more affordable to even inexpensive range. That Albert Von Schweikert complimented your design does not indicate t... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers The video of the Pendragon's is from a very reputable reviewer. I don't doubt that the Pendragon's sound is very good and are really inexpensive. However, the caveat is that despite a benign impedance curve, they require a very stable and high q... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @jayctoy Regardless of looks and cost, there are numerous other used choices for floorstanders that provide great bass, ample dynamics and adequate resolution to satisfy most listeners. I used Legacy Focus and Signature IIIs (still use Sig IIIs ... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I never considered a Tekton speaker as I already have a Legacy Signature III which out performs the Moab, especially in dispersion. The B&W 801 D4 is a serious speaker for the price made in huge quantities by a very careful major manufacturer... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers My friends and I have through decades, chosen mostly used pre-amps, amps and speakers to attain a "system" sound. I have have the advantage now of upgrading to higher resolution/still highly musical sounding speakers and eventually pre-amps and am... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps @carlsbad2 Hi, no it’s Class A, NOT Class B. Maybe 95F rather than frying an egg on my output transformer of my Class A tube EAR 890s. The Rei amplifier distinguishes itself through the implementation of WestminsterLab’s proprietary iBias and CCS... | |
| Improving a stone rack @o_holter Is your phono pre also solid state like my EAR 324? When I used the EAR 864 and the 912 which are both tubed phono and preamp combo, they sound best on the granite on their own feet. My HW19-4 is used for 78s now and it has a superio... | |
| Improving a stone rack I have a very dead/dense/heavy pair of hand crafted steel framed stands (filled with sand/shot 50/50). The top has 1" thick non-Gabbro granite shelves/plates (polished and beveled) mounted on silicone footers. I have no problems with various rubbe... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps How about 30 lb. monoblocks that will power (beautifully) nearly every speaker. Westminster Labs REI 100/200/400 into 8/4/2 ohms, sliding Class A design, cool running and low power drain when in standby mode. They aren't inexpensive at $33K a p... |
