| Tekton Double Impacts David,After experimenting with different tubes and cathode bypass switches the amp is sounding wonderful. I now understand what all the talk of SET magic is about. I got a taste of it with Charles' Frankensteins but experiencing it daily is a real... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? Thanks for the clarification Dave. We both agree that they are both great speakers......even if I don't agree that DI's are on the warm sice ;) That's what makes audio so much fun, we all have our perceived notions and it's all good. Have the DI's... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? Just to clarify I was using Odyssey Kismet Monoblocks and a Raven Audio Blackhawk when comparing the Focus SE's and DI's. Both amps had plenty of power to drive the Legacys. I don't think there is any way either the LTA MZ2 or the Aric Audio 300B ... | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? As Charles mentioned I had both speakers in my home for over a month. Both are great speakers. I sold the Legacys and have been enjoying the DI's for over a year now. Both speakers did many things right but to my ears the DI's are more musical and... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Sorry Steve, I missed your earlier post. I would think the DI's would suit your needs more so than the Legacy Focus SE's. I found the DI's to be more dynamic and more "live" sounding. I listen mostly to acoustical music but occasionally like to ro... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Facten,On Aric's suggestion I turned one of the capacitor bypass switches off and added a cheater plug to the amp power cord. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Charles, thanks to you for letting me hear what a well designed 300B amp such as your Frankensteins sound like I had a sonic goal to shoot for. Aric hit the mark and I feel I’ve achieved that goal. After about four of listening to music tod... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ok, minor noise issue solved......total musical bliss with the Aric 300B amp. The B should stand for beast as this is one hefty and powerful amp. How can 8 watts produce such beautiful music with so much power? At the 9 am position on the MZ volum... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I finally had some time to hook up the Aric 300B and give it a lesson. Since I had to hold off on shipping it until I was back in town Aric had it pretty well burned in already. So how does it sound with the DI's? In one word.......sublime. As muc... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ozzy,When talking to Eric while ordering my speakers he mentioned that the DI's tested extremely flat which made them very easy to drive. I've found that to be very true having driven them with the one watt LTA MZ2 for months. Not sure if that's a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts On a side note. After spending the last four days in New Orleans my appreciation of live acoustical music is greater than ever. So much talent and wonderful performances everywhere you go here. Amazing! My goal with my system has been to recreate ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I find it quite encouraging that many differant amps are being enjoyed driving the DI's......and other speakers. Initially I favored high powered SS amps and have gravitated to small tube amps with my first SET amp arriving tomorrow. I still appre... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,i have high hopes for Aric's 300B and will get my first listen to it tomorrow. Can't wait. I love my tube DAC, pre and amp but have a very open mind towards the Lyngdorf and will give it a try in the next year. I'm not saying I'll switch to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts HI David,Unfortunetly I had to delay shipping while I'm out of town and the amp won't arrive until late Tuesday. Aric says it sounds amazing and I'm looking forward to hearing it myself. I'll definitely be sharing my impressions later this week. H... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Muzikmann,I applaud you building a dedicated listening room first. I think you'll find it to be one of the best audio investments you can make. If done right it will provide an environment for all of your components to shine......especially speake... |
