| Tekton Double Impacts I have a DS and a DS junior which I find to be much better sounding then my Yggdrasil was,I tried one just to see what all the fuss was about.I ran the yggy in my 2nd system for more than 500 hrs so I did give it a honest shot.Kenny. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts greg22lz,It's just wonderful to read your post that is just oozing with excitement over enjoying your new speakers.rockytophigh,Congrats on your new speakers also and I hope you really enjoy them.mac48025,What can I say I think you need to go see ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David,I would agree with Charles,Vac made and sold quite a lot of the Phi-200 amps,probably was their best seller and I do believe several folks have upgraded or would like to.I only have experience with the much older 30/30 and it was a very good... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thank's to all that gave detailed info about preamp gain and VC tapers and overall matching component details.In this Aric audio amp the higher gain 6sl7 tube draws less current from the amps pwr supply and lightens it's overall load vs a 6sn7.Whe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts porscheracer,Yes I agree that you can't go wrong with a Sachs preamp,probably will make a great match with your pioneer amp.I have heard one of the Sachs preamps in a another system and it sounded and also looked very well made.Be patient,I think ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles,I would say I definitely find the 2a3 amp more musically engaging and satisfying with the majority of the music I listen too then any other amp that I currently own.Zotl 40,Fw Sit 2 push pull,and the little consonance cyber 30 2a3,even tho... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I would never use a preamp with 35db of overall gain that's just throwing away signal IMO.I generally like a preamp with about 10db of gain to make a better match with most pwr amps Tube or SS.My valvet soulshine has 18db and I found that to be to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I received my Aric Audio custom built 2a3 Set amp last Friday and I've been able to listen too it in my main system with the MZ2S and DI speakers for a couple of days.Aric built this amp with a oversized pwr supply and I wanted the low Imd single ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David,I have heard all of the LM Intergrated amps with the exception of the 508 but if I get the chance to borrow one that is local to me you can beat I will.The 508 will most definitely accept preamp input and I do believe that the 508 has a pret... | |
| Mega D'Appolito Speakers - The Holy Grail? Is the dynamic range, detail, transparency, distortion and imaging consistently better than other type of designs? I would say not really so much,only tiny differences in presentation.Kenny. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jccarcopo,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.Eighty years later, vacuum tubes, and especially triodes, continue to be the lowest distortion amplifying elements... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Gentleman,My take on the difference in Sound between the DI's and Bill's crescendo's equate to the obvious difference in design and the drivers covering the majority of the midrange.I do believe that the crescendo's would'nt have the perceptio... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts grannyring,I'm so glad that you got to hear the DI's for yourself and thank's for your well explained summary of this very unique design.It's always a good thing for all of us to be open minded and open eared and try new things,sometimes we find s... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. My listening room is 20x25x9 and has a open kitchen on one side and the other side is open to the front door entryway and front bedroom.I have no Idea what models would be at RMAF but I'm sure they would want to showcase their top models.You might... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aric,Welcome to our Audiogon community and we wish you the best of luck too.Kenny. |
