| Where Do I Go from Here? Congratulations on building a beautiful system. So it sounds like neither of three dealers want to do an in-home trial which I do believe is both worth doing and justified at this price point I’m not in the market for speakers, but did rece... | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? @vdotman "Geshelli Labs Dayzee. You have to wait to get one, *ut it’s worth the wait!" did you hear one at a show or get a preview unit? I have their JNOG2 socketed, fully kitted. It's fine and good value, but frankly didn't beat the DAC in my Ev... | |
| Is there anything other than a Benchmark DAC? I've had a Ferrum Wandla at my home this week for in-home demo. $3900 with he Hypsos powersupply. Sounds fantastic. (USB-in, XLR-out is how I'm using). for a 2nd system it would be killer for the money. PCM+DSD with usb-c and i2s port for futur... | |
| my own experience with Tekton Design @audioman58 10-4 @jayctoy yup, on Ulfberhts the crossover upgrade "at the factory" is a $2k line item. https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/flagship/ulfberht/ My x-over upgrade costed less since I have fewer driver... | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system The Puritan 136 has surge protection too. if your AC has DC noise you’ll sense an improvement for sure. no regrets on my 2 Channel digital only system | |
| Surge protector One of the benefits of the PSM136 is “…Massive 9,000 Amps Repetitive Rating, three-dimensional, non-sacrificial voltage surge protection…” All sources, pre/power amps, and DAC are on the Puritan… my subs, which are not in the front, each have o... | |
| Wifi ethernet jack recommendation 6GHz will be much less crowded for a while, and turning off 2.4 (with only 3 non-overlapping channels) is a good idea. 6GHz and AX-E has MultiuserMIMO which will stay 'on' vs.running AX on 5GHz (non 'e') remember that 6GHz will go through fewer... | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end @tomic601 @evanpress thank you for that. If anyone is: near enough to Washington DC can prove you're not a psycho interested in hearing a 3 way shoot out I've gotten word from both dealers that I'll have access to those 3 devices in my ... | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end @mahler123 ah, the Michigan motto. I don't follow college sports, so it was lost on me. | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end @mahler123 ? the point was to share my need for XLR as well, the buckeye purifi monoblocks I run are XLR only, so that my suggestions for his research would be compatible with his active speakers. | |
| Looking for a simple but exquisite front end I’m in the market for a pre-amp/DAC (don’t need internal streamer, but fine if it doesn’t harm the unit or price) and there’s a nice crop of devices out now, some from new orgs (Ferum, new b2c, was an OEM only shop) some from longer standing brand... | |
| Looking for the next level in imaging... counterpoint incoming. context, I still own ML CLSes (factory repaneled) and some larger maggies are in storage awaiting vacation home setup.... so I enjoy planar/dipole. I've had good success with B&W and tekton monitors for imaging. But m... | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis while you weigh your Class-A options, get yourself a pair of these to hold you over... https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/amplifiers/purifi/1et7040sa/monoblock I have their 3channel 400A Purifi and a pair of these 704 Purifi monoblocks.... price ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Right now, from my BAT preamp, which has 4 outputs, 2 per channel: * XLR out go to the purifi/Buckeye amps * component/RCA out goes to the HSU subs, and enabled their onboard x-over to allow only below 30-35 hz to the sub. I like my system now,... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions oh, about: "Did you notice any loss of planar type sound with fewer tweeters on the half Ulfbehrts?" Can't say, I've never heard the full Ulfbehtrs (or Moab or Encore) or anything with the 7+1+7 setup. The monitors have the 6+1 ring, and I love ... |
