| Tekton Double Impacts Fred,I've been in this hobby for about 35 yrs and I have mostly listened to analog and playing digital as a convenience since 1982 when digital first started but over the last 6yrs or so I've been more focused with digital playback.Since we all kn... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts LP,Yes I'm referring to the horn shoppe "Truth" preamp,It looks like from what I read on their forums that some guys are modifying their Truth preamps and adding Active gain and or transformer based Impedance buffers,possibly like a autoformer.I r... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts articdeth,That's a unusual name could you elaborate.Here is a more detailed description of the DI's that may help you understand the design a little better.Even though these are tweeter transducers the six of them that form the circle, based on wh... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts LP,I read through today's posts and haven't had the time to answer any of your questions till now,but Al and Charles gave you the facts and their opinions that are spot on.Some of the guys build the "Truth" preamp with 6 to 10 db's of gain and wit... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,I do believe I have found my "Holy Grail" in preamp,which is the MZ2S.For pwr amps I'm torn between the Zotl 40 and the First watt sit2.They both are that good giving a slightly different flavor and sonic presentation.The F7 is good but not ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts articdeth,I am interested as well, EXCEPT there is no midrange dedicated driver, its all tweeters? why?Because the 6 outer tweeters play down to 480hz,and the center tweeter is crossed over at 10k to 30k.The 2 6.5 inch midranges are crossed at 25... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions Whitestix,The F5 is a little bit aggressive from the upper midrange to the highest frequencys and does tend to have a slightly hard edge to the leading edges of notes.It's basically a very picky amp that needs the best components upstream of it.Th... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions gdhal,Both,the production versions of first watts and the "Diy" versions that Nelson gives his blessings to the Diy community.Different models were available as kits on the Diy audio website store.I own a production version of the F7,and my Sit2 i... | |

| Decware Mini Torii 2011 vs Audion Silver Night Will,I'm sorry to hear that,did you check for a blown fuse,probably has one near the pwr plug in by chance.Does it pwr up at all?I'm not familiar with this amp so I can't really help you but maybe somebody that is will chime in.Kenny. |
