| Tekton Double Impacts @grey9hound +1. No doubt the ST100 is one of those amps that defies being lumped into tube or SS sound. Owners and reviewers have all had the very same experience with this amp. It is also a great example of outstanding value competing with amps ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne Well said and I agree. Great big amp world out there and I have certainly heard SS and hybrid amps with as much or more emotion, air, tone, color etc... as a DHT or PP tube amp. These comparisons should not be in general, but specifically... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Good for you to have an opinion. Not truth, but just an opinion. Funny how others must think as you for you to be content. No worries, chill and listen. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Nobody heard miracles, but certainly obvious differences that any open minded and eared person can discern. If you can’t, then just play music on Any old wire and call it good. Just enjoy whatever system you think sounds great and no worries if yo... | |
| $100,000 line stage Yes the internal parts level and build quality are a work of art. Even the chokes use pure silver wire! Have any you priced a silver foil capacitor of late? We Aphiles regularly pay $5,000 to $10,000 for preamps with parts quality costing 1/10 of ... | |
| Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps? Ozzy, it is pretty easy really once you work at it. It is the way the professionals do it as you keep all the stands in tact for better connection. The weave comes apart readily in my experience. Worth a try next time Ozzy. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Interesting. Could it just be a matter of engineering a different device? I see this as a fruitful area. You're the right man for the job! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ear cups to place on your ears greatly improving the listening experience. Try cupping your hand behind your ears and listen. Oh my! Imagine if we were to make a well engineered ear appendage that is perfected for stereo listening. This is big fol... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Definitely staying tuned as this is the model that interests me the most. Based on my experience, even in a well thought out design, the quality of drivers and crossover parts really matter.....big-time! Any additional cabinet/dampening upgrades i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Correct on the 2170 in terms of the finer "DAC" details. I am saying to let the 2170 do its total thing🙂 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts An additional point on the 2170 to get the most out of it. It should be used as the one box solution it is. To simply use it as an amplifier, or as preamp with room correction only, or using an external DAC with it misses the greatness of the whol... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts There is no hype on the Lyngdorf. None. Near nobody talks about it. I mention it here and there, as a voice in the wilderness, in a fair and complete manner. What I hype I can assure all is good, no great. Been there, done that with more gear and ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolvist, David and I were both stunned at the improvement realized after running the Room Perfect set-up. I had the same reaction in two different rooms and with the Harbeth 40.1 and AZ Crescendo speakers. One of my rooms was already well "treate... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Fact is most speakers "internals" cost very, very little that sell for $10,000-$20,000 new. You won't find copper foil caps and top flight resistors from Path Audio or Duelund. You will find sand cast resistors, electrolytic caps, less expensive... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David, great point that the 2170 is a nice SS option for some. It has been said many times that the DI speaker affords its owners many system options. That is certainly an audiophile’s dream! |
