| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kdude,I just did some checking on the Truth. Arthur Salvatore has a long write up on it in his recommended components.I have to admit I am confused by your comment that " some of the guys build the Truth pre amp with 6 to 10 db of gain." Are yo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Al,Great back check to the 7-17 post.I'm sure I fit into the don't utilize 105db peaks at my 6' seating positions. It sure would have been easier with all of this if I would have just choosen the D.I.'s. instead of the Electrons.Several risks f... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Al, The amp you sent the specs on is the same MKII version but Triode told me the input impedance is 220K. They said they can make it 100K but it would hurt the bass.The Truth recommends 100K or more if I remember right.Will that be a benefit f... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Al,I just want to mention one thing that's kind of bizarre about the Truth. The volume control only goes to about 2:00. Until you get to about 10:00 you hear almost nothing. At noon it's to low for real listening and then begins to accelerate. ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Charles,Thank you for a path to begin to figure this out. I will find out the gain of the amp.What I don't understand is the relation between the 3 factors of wattage-sensitivity-gain as it applies to the pre amp amp and speaker.I understand in ge... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In my existing system which is powered by a BEL 1001, 26db (1 volt=50 watts) gain and the Truth, driving my Spendor SP-1's 86.5db sensitivity the last thing I would say is it needs more gain, dynamics, openness, or authority. So is the concern to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Milpai,To clarify here is the quote from his e mail today."The Truth-it will be alright, my 2A3 will provide most of its gain and drive...the Truth will only be work as a volume control in the most neutral/accurate way, because its a passive desig... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Milpai,I ordered the Electrons yesterday, so I feel it will be about 3 weeks before they arrive. In talking to Eric about my desire to use a 3.5 watt 2A3 SET he said it would be no problem, but I forgot to mention the no gain Truth I use. He is ve... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well after realizing that I have not bought a pair of speakers since 1990, I bought Tekton yesterday. I went against this current and chose the Electrons, because of size and weight even with some assurances that the D.I.'s would work in my 11X15X... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Sold my Magnaplanar Tympani 4's I think in 1995, since thenJensen 24's and Spendor SP-1'sA fascinating hobby with many ways to go about enjoying it. LP | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Would any of you Electron owners who have experimented with or own a low powered quality tube amp please share their findings on this marriage?Thanks LP | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just a quick follow-up. Apparently successful surgery Wednesday, and now a long difficult rehab with much to do.A heart felt thank you to all the special people who participate on this forum for all their sincere blessings.Now back to improving ou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kdude, Corelli, Mikirob, and Charles,Thanks to all for your opinions and experiences with the Dynamo. Based on this information, along with the fact that I haven't joined the world of parts upgrade, I don't feel that the Dynamo would be the right ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Charles,From following along with this thread I am considering the Triode Labs as has been referenced by you and along with other posters who I also respect. However, at this stage of my life I find it difficult to spend too freely. Quite the c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Has anyone had any experience driving any of the Tektons with a Coincident Dynamo? New they are a huge value at $1500.I'm wondering what level of performance they offer before I wrap my mind around possibly dropping 5K on a SET amp. LP |
