| Microzotl 2.0 as preamp question I have a similar setup as Kenny with the DI’s and MZ2. I also suffer from no thump noise. I do have a PS Audio P10 so I can program a delay on some outlets so that everything doesn’t turn on at the same time. I believe Music Direct has P3’s on sal... | |
| Oppo UDP - 205 My Modwright Oppo 205 is well broken in now and I am very impressed. I feel that Modwright has taken advantage of an excellent ESS 9038 DAC chip with an excellent transformer coupled tube stage and the results are outstanding. Fine micro details a... | |
| VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick! I wonder if brass shavings would work instead of iron? I have buckets of it laying around. | |
| NEW DAC PS Audio Direct Stream DAC or Keep What I Have dylanfan, I agree with Ozzy, The firmware in the DS is the best I've heard so far. I also am enjoying the new DAC in my new Oppo with Modwright mods. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts My DI's are sounding better everyday with about 150 hours on them. I find these speakers to display some of the finest sound reproduction I have ever heard and most definitely nothing touches them at this price point. I have some nice maple speake... | |
| Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany My old 10k watt generator would definitely fluxuate and I could see the lights flicker constantly. My new 20K generator installed a year ago because we have a lot of power outages around here has yet to turn on. We don't seem have power outages an... | |
| What have I missed in the last 12 years? My recent discovery is that I can now purchase a David Berning designed amplifier at significantly lower prices from Linear Tube Audio. The clear transformerless sound is addictive. I second the idea of listening to Tekton design speakers.i am lis... | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... Tony's CD (Drums & Bells) has arrived. It is very much what I remember from the NewPort show. Dynamics are off the charts. It's not really music but listenable. On one track I could really feel the bass thumping in my chest not to mention the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad - I used my LTA preamp with my old Decware ZMA and didn't hear much difference from using the ZMA alone. It seemed the Micro ZOTL was so transparent it really didn't have much effect but when I brought home the ZOTL40 and then paired ... | |
| Cable Choices - TEO, Cerious Tech, Amadi, Audio Sensibility, etc I have owned the clear day double shotguns and now have the Cerious Tech Graphene Extreme speaker cables. The CT cables are by far superior in every way and I'm using them with my Tekton Double Impacts. I also have the CT and Teo IC's and I have g... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Wow, the DI's have opened up and are sounding spectacular this evening. Still driving with Modwright Oppo 205 to 1 watt Micro ZOTL but now with NOS Tung Sol 6F8G VT99 tubes there is leap in performance from the Sylvania bad boys 6SN7's. I can't be... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 - I have rolled in quite a few different tubes, right now I have NOS Amperex 12AT7's, I also like NOS Mullards. The VT99's have more gain in the Micro ZOTL. It's a very Tube friendly design when it comes to rolling.I drilled holes in the ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay - I can concur the 12AU7's in the Micro ZOTL work fine with a little less gain. Also i am using NOS Tung Sol VT99 with adapters replacing the 6SN7's and they sound wonderful | |
| 16 bit is good enough..... I just ordered the CD. I was in Tony's room at THE Newport show last year and there was a disc he was playing. I have never heard anything sound so real in my life. The drum kit was in the room with me. I can't even remember the model of speakers ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The DI's are 2' from the front wall, about 8' to my seat and 8' apart. I have yet to experiment much with speaker placement. They do go through an interesting break-in period and change quite a bit. |
