| Tekton Double Impacts David,I think you do have some valid questions but I can't really answer them,so I will try some speculation.Some guys are using the MZ2 as a Intergrated and or a preamp and some guys have different brand Intergrateds which Offcourse don't mostly ... | |
| Emission Labs Mesh Plate 2A3s; anyone else love these tubes? Tommy,The best way to describe their "sound" is to say they just get out of the way and let the music come through like it was recorded.I can totally agree with this,the mesh plate EML tubes bettered several other 2a3's that I used and they had a ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig,Reviewers talk uniformly about how good the bass response is with Class D and we shall see. Am able to make adjustments with Apqualizr.I don't think you will need any adjustments in the bass department,The Nord will deliver the deepest,tight... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig,Good for you and I hope the Nord works out for you.I can see your dilemma with the size of your room overall,we moved 3 yrs ago to a smaller house,our old big house had a 30x40x20 foot living room and we also had a 20x25x9 music room were my... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig,Some have reported overly-clinical sound in the past but the new op amp design appears to have addressed this complaint.And it it does to some degree but at the end of the day I still find class d amplifiers not my cup of tea.The midrange an... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles,When my wife and I Demoed a pair of Q3's earlier this year at a dealer out of state they had them paired with a Devialant 440.I was greatly impressed with the build quality of the magico's and the fact that they make their own drivers and ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill,Sounds like the King amp is sounding very good for you and Thank's for sharing.I don't doubt a bit that a active preamp would be better and a nice selection of quality tubes will take it to a higher level.Best,Kenny. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig,To answer your question about the Nord amps,I have used a few different class d amps with the DI's,Diy Ncore nc400Bel Canto Ref 600mRed Dragon S-500Ps audio M700Nord one up nc500 mono's with sonic imagery 994 op amps I have also heard the De... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Interesting new review of the LTA Zotl40,http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/linear-tube-audio-zotl40-mk-ii-power-amplifier/Kenny. | |
| Parasound HCA-1500 or alternative Bthogan,The parasound hca 1500 uses a three stage gain topology,which is common to many of parasound amps.Cascoded Class A input stages with matched J-FET pairsHandpicked complementary MOSFET transistors in high voltage driver stage8 complementary... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts danonano,Welcome to this long and elvolving thread from some very happy owners of the Tekton Double Impacts.I personally think that the DI's are quite a large step up in sound than the Pendragons and I think you might really like them.Best of luck... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles,Many amplifiers could possibly be a step backwards from where you are. High power seems superfluous with the Double Impacts given how easily they’re driven. You're spot on with this wisdom,I have found that a person needs to pick a Amp car... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,I'm like you and just totally impressed with the MZ2S.Your using some of the best tube combos that I believe make a huge difference in sound.Still hard to believe that the glorious 1 watt from the MZ2S can pwr such a huge speaker and have such... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill,Wow you did get that king amp very fast,I would like to hear how it works out for you also.Kenny. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts mazikrav,Al's thoughts on your placette preamp are spot on.I'ts so confusing to me that they call it a Active linestage but the specs only list "Unity gain.And like Al has pointed out unity gain = no gain.If I was in your position and really like... |
