| ROON help needed Yes I do find that Tidal with Roon brings up the sound quality another notch. The DSP ability in Roon is yet another plus with no negatives I could hear. I use a light handed approach with the EQ with fantastic results. I find listening without DS... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I am building usb cables with the Duelund 20 ga this week and will report back. Also building a usb cable using Mundorf silver and gold wire. | |
| Lowering the noise floor @randy-11, Spot on about LPS and using a good starquad DC power cable. I made two of these for use on my LPS units and they did indeed improve my overall sound quality. | |
| Added value of separate server? @shadorne Sorry if you don’t have the experience and knowledge needed on this subject, but what I said above is certainly true. Everything matters in this equation....everything. Until you have experimented, tested, and listened to all manner of o... | |
| Added value of separate server? I find the server/player/renderer to be more important than the dac. The true source is usually most important. Amazing what digital can deliver when done right. Often times the weak link is ahead of the dac in computer based audio. | |
| Lowering the noise floor Agreed! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I did not. I guess I am happy keeping them for now. I am going to pass your mileage marker 😁 | |
| Lowering the noise floor Power power supplies, power supplies, power supplies.....oh my what a difference maker they are when it comes to noise. Wether computer audio, amplifiers, ac from our homes etc ... they are the place to look for obtaining the best possible sound. ... | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? No I don’t care. Just want newbie aphiles to read about how important time and proper system matching to a speaker is. Takes time to get the best out of a speaker. Time and effort. Plopping a speaker in and listening for a few hours will never h... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Oh my. Building a 845amp? | |
| Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to? Not even broken in? A tad too rushed for proper evaluation of any speaker that is brand new. I think you know that. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Agree 101% The Clarity TC caps are wonderful in power supplies. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The Audyn true copper caps are also very good indeed. I have them in my DI. Not quite as good as the Jupiter copper foil, not as rich or resolving of micro details, but very good indeed. Jupiter copper foils are very expensive however. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts No. They are more resolving. The electrolytic caps used in the DI are dark sounding. That is the sound quality of electrolytic caps. The parts I used opened up the speaker, made them more resolving, improved imaging, greater weight and body and mo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts LOL! Agreed. Imagine also using Duelund inductors in the DIs! They are the best and very costly. Then wire it all up using the wonderful Mundorf silver and gold wire placed in a silk and cotton sheathing. Oh what a DIY fantasy dream! |
