| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne - 😂 no worries. I’m glad you motivated me to finally post my system. I checked yours out too. You have a sweet setup too and I have no doubts it sounds wonderful as well. Do you have enough tweaks yet? Lol 😂 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025 - Thanks for the kind words. Â Eric picked the color and finish because I asked him to after being an indecisive pain in his ass for 2 weeks, LOL! I forget the Pantone number for the color. Â I tried to find it on Pantone's website to see ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne Here you go. My audio setup.https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6723 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 You,I and possibly others may be a little crazy for loving our old technology SET and SEP amps but here is my take on this.Kenny, we are definitely not crazy, but I do like to self-deprecate so I can make my point in a less a offensive wa... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts McIntosh always surprises me that they are still a going concern at their excessive price point considering how they sound to me at various times that I've heard them setup over the years. I think it's well made and very attractive gear, but I wou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay I put a 😂 on the end of that sentence, because I was being a bit facetious. I wasn't singling you out, per se, but I won't lie and say that your mention of a kt88 set amp didn't prompt my post, but it's comforting that you at least felt si... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Do any other SET amplifier owners have a dubious opinion of SET amplifiers that utilize a tetrode/pentode as the power tube? Â I mean come on, Â its called a single ended triode amplifier for a reason and shouldn't a Triode be employed if for no oth... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mack71 Â - Â I would call Eric. Emails don't get timely responses sometimes because he's so busy. Â It's very much hit or miss. I've copied your post and sent it to him via Facebook messenger in hopes the mobile notification will alert him to your r... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts We sold ASL through a boutique and indeed,  it was a problematic brand with service issues more so than other brands.  It didn't do much for me sonically either, but it was cheap for people buying a price.  They may have improved by now though. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mapman,My purely biased answer is that Single Ended Triode tube amplification is the best sounding for any emotional meaningful reasoning in sound presentation. Generally speaking, solid-state is a compromise IMHO, but more specifically, Push-Pull... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Great video Jeffrey, sounds great.  The Allnic is a very impressive beast! I'm salivating over here!  This current video definitely beats your first one sonically!  Sounded phenomenal on my system. Thanks for sharing! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @AniwolfeI agree entirely. Â BTW I messaged you back. Just give me a call.Jonathan | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @james_w514, I didn't get to try the ahb2 on the Tektons. Â I actually purchased their monitors and thought they were competent, but not magical or anything special. Â Very well made though. Â Yeah the amplifier seemed a tad unemotional to me, but ve... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'd put the Benchmark AHB2 amplifier in the "Tekton of Amplifiers" category for most innovative solid-state at a cheaper price point than the upgraded Double Impacts ($3000 last I checked). Â It sounds very good too, but I still ended up returning ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hell yeah, Kenny! |
