| 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? I mean come on, 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 - I would call Eric. Emails don't get timely responses sometimes because he's so busy. 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. 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. I actually purchased their monitors and thought they were competent, but not magical or anything special. Very well made though. 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). It sounds very good too, but I still ended up returning ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hell yeah, Kenny! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac - great minds think a like! 😂 | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @Eric,So excited for you and your success. I’ve read other Tekton threads on hear (sic) and the Tekton Double Impacts, et al, are indeed very disruptive and causing consternation in many audiophiles who are convinced their speakers have to be bett... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mahan Esfahani is crazy good. I love the harpsichord more than a piano. Great suggestion, imsjm! Eric Caldwell, buy the Double Impacts, room dimensions be damned! I sent you a private message. Call me 919-904-5657! ~Jonathan Carcopo |
