| Tekton Double Impacts @vitop - I'm sure Eric is still pursuing the Mini Ulfberts. He was talking about a model in-between either DI SE/Mini Ulfberts or Mini Ulfberts and Ulfberts. Nothing was really ironed out. I assumed, and maybe incorrectly that it would be more ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - Message received sir and I'm sure the DI SE is a fine sounding loudspeaker and would be an upgrade sonically. I've talked with Eric about them and the Ulfberts and even about a hypothetical speaker that's in-between the two price ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten - If I am going to upgrade from the DI's, I'd like to do it once and not a second time down the road. The Mini Ulfberts should have the premium SEAS drivers that I'd like to hear in the next speaker upgrade I go with. They are very g... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 - Thanks for the picture link and info. It's a bit of a disappointment to me. I'll be keeping what I have for now I guess. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I saw a mention of a picture of the Double Impact SE had been captured, but I couldn't find any link anywhere. Can anyone confirm that the drivers are or aren't scanspeak for the array? Do I have to move to the mini ulfberts to get the better qual... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I think you can have detailed, organic, and natural sound. One shouldn't have to compromise on anything. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Maybe yours got lost in the mail? I just looked in my playboy and it clearly states on page 69 that orgasmic and natural sound must not lack any detail. RIP Hugh HefnerI need a tissue.Note: SwiftKey, on my phone, autocorrected playbook to playboy... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Snagged an AURALIC Vega DAC on ebay for $2k. Figure for that price it would be worth trying. @mac48025 - What is a CF DAC. I couldn't find it online. Hope you enjoy it and post on your impressions. I'll be waiting on FedEx friday on my DAC. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would like to call out Response Audio as someone who makes great tube pre-amp..@aniwolfe - Thanks for the preamp suggestion@porcheracer - Thanks for mentioning the Don Sachs, I’m very curious how it sounds when you get it.Truth be told I’m on th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @james_w514 & @klh007 - There's nothing notably harsh about my presentation with the Benchmark, but I could easily see you running it source direct to solid-state and having that experience considering my own experience with my tube amplifier.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - Zero gain tube buffer sounds interesting too. I could always sell the Benchmark DAC2 HGC and get a standalone Benchmark DAC3, it's probably a wash on money, but I'm still thinking it has an op-amp gain stage and it still uses a vol... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay @mac48025 - I was just waiting for somebody to bring up Linear Tube Audio, again, for the umpteenth time 😂 lol. It's obviously crossed my mind, how could it not the way people gush about their products on here? I'd be a fool not to consi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Yes, we’re on the same page sonically. The thing is I only have 1 actual source and it’s my Benchmark DAC2 HGC which does have 2 digital sources connected via USB and Toslink. So what I need is a simple tube preamp that buffers the on... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - Great, now I need a tube preamplifier. 😂 The Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT, possibly with their DAC2 upgrade makes me salivate, but I'm out of kidneys to sell. It's simply out of my reach. In your opinion, what's a decent tube preamplifie... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - You're quite welcome! Thanks for the kind words. I think it's a very neutral sounding system and not as warm sounding as my original Diavolo SET + Von Schweikert VR2s setup and it lacks a tad of added 3D dimensionality that Von Sch... |
