| Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent My Linear Tube Audio MZ2. I have never owned such a high performing component for so little $. It is the Swiss Army knife of audio. A world class preamp, head phone amp and a 1 watt power amp. From David Berning and Mark Schneider. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts My one more song keeps going until my wife yells "IM TRYING TO SLEEP" | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the sound. The price is right.Lance | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've been trying different Amps with the DI's and lately have been using SS amps even though I prefer tubes overall. A friend from our local audio club came by this morning and brought a 30 year old amp from a company that has been long out of bus... | |
| Spatial Audio speakers sound best with Solid state or tube amps. If so, which models? I was at Linear Tube Audio for a visit and they had a pair of Spatial M3's I think, driven by a ZOTL40 and the sound was very, very good. In fact better than the other speakers in his showroom that day.Lance | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Just just a quick report. @wig told me I would be amazed at the CT GE umbilicle cord for my Modwright Oppo 205 and he was right. Bob did it again. This sweet cable is refined and improves the already excellent sound im getting with my 205, AHB2 a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jollygreenaudiophile2 , Mark at Linear Tube Audio in Takoma Park told me months ago that Eric was sending him a pair of speakers. I waited for quite a while to listen to them but they never showed up. I got impatient and went ahead and ordered th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli , I think the new LTA integrated will be ready soon. It will be 10 watts and will have true balanced inputs, not transformer coupled balanced but a special "David Berning" designed tube circuit. I think Mark is working on an upgraded powe... | |
| New Class A/B under $6K, your recommendation? I have the AHB2 and it is the best SS amp I've owned. You can believe the specs because these are a clear and open conduit for your source. I suggest a tube preamp. They can come off as a little clinical depending what you feed it. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @brotw , the Benchmark AHB2 is a phenomenal SS amp and I recommend it highly. I also think you would benefit from a tube preamp. It's been said that the AHB2 is a perfect conduit so your front end will make or break it. Using my Modwright Oppo wit... | |
| A vote for the little guy suppliers I will stick with the small guys. I have had great experiences dealing with small American audio companies. The good ones have one thing in common, they love what they do. They are audiophiles like us. They are driven, dedicated and passionate.Muc... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @why0why , don't be fooled by the size. The monitors are not quite as sensitive as the DI's. The MZ2 might still be all you need however depending on the size of your room. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables @wig , thanks for sharing. I'm even more excited now.Lance | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables As soon as I get a good burn-in on the Modwright umbilicle that Bob made me I will report back. | |
| Benchmark Dac3 I haven't heard either of these DACs but I also have the UDP205 and with the Modwright mods it is in another league. |
