Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Ralph, Thank you for this great post. I enjoy your posts as they are always so informative.   
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
Sean, if your intent was to post it as a question, then we all see the usefulness of it. Your post does not come across that way when you read it the whole thing. This is exactly what @charles1dad said earlier. I guess there is room for confusion ... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
 Agreed , it's great to ask questions about any product and that's what these forums are for However the OP is really not asking a question but throwing the statement out here based on nothing really There is a difference. It is a negative comment... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
Ok, he does not have a pair to measure the actual driver distances, determine crossover points, test response, etc.... I guess he is looking at pictures..LOL! Please own up to the fact that your post is mere speculation and irresponsible at best.  
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
@seanheis1,Can you help us better understand how your expert friend is testing and measuring the DI speaker? I am sure he must have a pair to take measurements of. Did he actually precisely measure all the details he is talking about? I assume he ... 
Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore?
Yes indeed. It just sounds right!  
Duelund DCA16GA
Let us all know what you think Wig.  $60 set of DIY built Duelund 16ga ICs.  Well at worst the price is right. At best they may totally surprise you.  
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
wlutke,  You do have many good choices in front of you.  I suggest actually listening to a couple in your system before buying. Some of the amps I mentioned can be tried in your home and kepted or returned. Nice option for sure.The Lyngdorf is one... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Charles, for some reason you are narrowing my comments down to a particular brand?  Devialet? Your missing the point it seems even though I have tried to be clear. I suppose this happens often on threads like this. Hard to fully express some thing... 
“Invest” in Tekton?
I must say I have emailed and spoke to a couple of longtime Agon members who have owned some of the best gear available and know what is hype vs. the real deal. Kenny, the previous poster is one such Agon gem.  Each one loves the DI and praises it... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Understand fully stfoth. I really do. I will always have "some" tube amp in my home as I am in love the design and building of these pieces.  
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Let's build this unit Charles. A DHT 300b tube output amp with SOTA room correction and built in dac. We can address further noise reduction with a cutting edge hybrid pre and amp section.  
Duelund DCA16GA
Ha! I have built many sets. Sold a few sets also. Great IC wire. I don't use ICs anymore however. I can send you a 40 inch set to try using the 16ga wire. Let me know. I have an extra set that will need a little more break in.   
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
Charles, my noise comment goes for all other system combinations I have experienced ranging from all tube to all SS and a mix of the two. Noise is a result of many things beyond a tube. I am not saying, did not say, the Lyngdorf is the latest and ... 
Amp for Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 ?
For the OP. The Lyngdorf 2170 I own with my Crescendo speakers does not sound like a 50 watt PP tube amp, or 845, or 805 amp. There are tradeoffs. There are two main benifits this unit brings to your system. First, It removes noise you had no idea...
