Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Roger, let me add my thanks. We spoke years ago when I had a Beveridge RM-1 and you were very helpful at that time. You mentioned a few posts earier that you produce some DD amps for electrostats. I have a pair of Acoustat Xs in need of amplificat... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I just want to thank @lancelock for inviting me into his home yesterday. He was kind enough to offer me an opportunity to hear the DIs, and also his other two systems. The DIs are impressive at their price point, but I am not selling my speakers y...

@klh007 It doesn't get much better than that, thanks!Joe 
Tekton Double Impacts
 Thank all of you guys very much, the information is very helpful. I live in Annapolis Maryland and I’m wondering if there was anyone in the Washington DC or Baltimore area that has either the DI‘s or the DI SEs. Now that I’m leaning heavily towar...

Charles,Thank you for your response. i appreciate the advice regarding the DIs vs. the DI SEs. But you do raise another issue, choice of amplifier. In my current set up I like the amplifiers i have now, Parasound JC-1s, but it seems the consensus ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
This speaker has caught my interest like it has so many others. My initial impression was if the concept works so well, what would be possible with upgraded drivers, components and cabinetry? Would that just make this another $20K contender? Then ... 
IsoAcoustics GAIA
I put Gaia1s under my Von Schweikert VR-6s and my results were consistent with ricred1's. I was very happily surprised by the major improvements they made.Joe 
Newbie needs Streamer Advise
The Bluesound Node 2 is a good performer with MQA @ $500. I am very happy with the performance in my system, which is a different approach but similar in scale to yours.  
Can anyone help?
I own JC-1s and experienced the same thing until I put them on dedicated lines. Since you have already done that I suggest checking the connections and current capacity on your lines. The other suggestions offered are good too, especially regardin... 
Nice used tube amp under $1000 used
I have owned VTL Compact 100s and Deluxe 120s, both were reliable and produced great sound. They are not known as having a particularly "tubey" sound, but should make an excellent pairing with your pre amp. I think I have see used 100s in your pri... 
Turntable/ Cartridge Analysis/Setup
I used Gifted Listener in Chantilly VA a few years ago, but he charged me extra because I didn't buy the equipment from him. At the time it was worth it to me. I wouldn't do business with him again though. There are several high end Dealers in the... 
All vandersteen users ?
I have had both Vandy 2s and 3s and powered them with VTL Compact 100s and DeLuxe 120s with great results, and I like to rock. I also have run the 3s on Parasound JC-1s and they sounded great, but I don't think it was as much the additional power,...

and of course I agree with Nelson Pass. 
Baltimore MD
I just want to add my thanks to Sang and the others who attended our get together Sunday. I really enjoyed listening to Sang's system, the big Maggies driven by the Joule tubes were really special. Luckily Sang has a big room as there were 8 of us...

Sorry to hear you can't make it, but I look forward to seeing the others and if it isn't a complete bust I'm sure there will be other opportunities. For those attending, see you Sunday!Joe
