Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks guys, I will report back tonight. 
Tekton Double Impacts
The DI SE is in the house. Since today is my 20 year wedding anniversary I will wait until tomorrow to unpack and start playing if I know what’s good for me. 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Yes, lets hear from some newbies. I'm quiet because i'm completely satisfied with the sound of my system. I will never say never anymore but right now I no longer feel a need to try out new cables. 
Sophia EL34-ST Tubes
I agree with @cellcbern , they sound better than any other new production tube in my LTA ZOTL40 and I even prefer them over my NOS Mullard EL34 FX2. I have never owned a 300B amp so can’t compare but these tubes are the real deal. 
Tekton Double Impacts
@djtunes, I heard the DIs in a similar size room at Linear Tube Audio. They sounded good. 
Tube Preamps.....
@parsons,That is high praise and I completely agree. The MZ2 can compete with preamps at 10x the cost. I am now very curious about the new Micro ZOTL Preamp that was just shown at Axpona for the first time. Unlike the MZ2 which is a Swiss Army kni...

Linear Tube Audio MZ2-S 
Just Got My Oppo 205!
I am not a Modwright employee either but I can speak to the sound quality of the Modwright 205. It’s a world class player/DAC. This DAC bested my 6K PS Audio DS.I admire the DIY crowd and do a little of it myself but for anyone to say their mods b... 
Linear Tube Audio at Axpona
@teajay , I will be very interested in your review since you’ve spent time with the Micro ZOTL. The MZ2 is the best preamp I’ve owned and I have no doubt the new preamp will be better but by how much? Oh who am I kidding. I know I’m buying it.

For me $80 for a year membership is not unreasonable. The food and beer is always good. I do enjoy the industry people coming and showing the latest amp or speakers, etc. There are decent door prizes at the end of each meeting. Still it’s probably... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@corelli ,The UL sounds amazing top to bottom. It grips the bass better than any tube amp, maybe better than any SS amp I’ve ever heard. In fact it has many of the positive attributes of SS and yet a beauty that only tubes can produce. Absolutely ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@david_ten My comments were meant for this thread but there are so many Tekton threads so it’s a little confusing. Yes, I can’t wait to hear the DI SE. I will use the LTA UltraLinear. This is the finest amp I heard so far. Besting all of the other... 
Tekton Impact Comparisons
With all of the positive and negative chatter about Tekton, I don’t remember any speaker brand having this much buzz about them.I replaced my Monitor Audio GX300 Gold speakers with the Tekton Double Impacts. I liked the Monitor Audio but I found t...
