| Tekton Double Impacts At the time Charles heard my system I was running Marconi BL 63's ( with adapters) and Brimar 12AT7 yellow T labels. I'm now running the TungSol 12SN7 round plates with Sylvania Gold Brand double mica 12AT's. Sound quality is quite similar and I c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks teajay, any info would be appreciated. They sound like wonderful tubes. I believe Kenny is correct in that they are not Shuguang tubes but are Golden Dragon Retro KT 88's that are replicas of the GEC. Thanks for the info Kenny.Ill find out ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks for sharing teajay. Sounds exciting. Would you or Ezra ( or anyone else here) have any idea on where to purchase the Golden Dragons? I could find Shuguang Treasure KT 88 and out of England some Golden Dragon KT 88 Retro.....not sure if they... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Only 24 different amps with the DI’s Kenny? Slacker! :) I’m on amp #5 with the DI’s with #6 arriving Tuesday and #7 in a couple of weeks.....both SET amps. Fun, fun, fun!As always it comes down to perspective and personal preference. If dynamics a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts As usual, well said teajay. In my younger days I preferred big SS amps in order to reproduce live concert sound levels. Hopefully I didn't damage my hearing too much! Now I prefer much lower listening sound levels with peaks in the high 90 db's so... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Glad I checked in on this thread as I now know that Mark is swamped with moving and that's why he hasn't been able to respond. I'm excited about joining the CPT family and will order either the equicore 1200 or 1800 as soon as the dust settles for... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. Great thread Kenny,I replaced my Legacy Audio Focus SE's, which were very nice speakers, with the DI's and I couldn't be happier. Efficient. Musical. Dynamic. Neutral. Detailed. Basically they sound "right" to me. My previous Tekton speakers were ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Disruptive products reviewed by a disruptive reviewer. Gotta luv it. Terry flies in the face of many reviewers that patently praise the big name companies with huge marketing budgets and won’t give the highly innovative and cost conscious little g... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I didn't realize the Lyngdorf had a DAC also. Very interesting. So someone like me who only listens to Redbook CD's would only need to add a transport? How slick is that? Grannyring, you would consider the Lyngdorfs tone, timbre and texture to mat... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mike from Audio Archon should be receiving a pair of SE's very soon, if he already hasn't, for a customer. So hopefully he can answer some of the questions regarding the specific components used. I didn't realize the cabinet is deeper......cool. L... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Congrats David. I'm VERY interested in the Double Impact SE's. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of them and what brand of drivers is in them. I believe the PMD line includes high gloss paint? If so, the options are limitless. I have the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Muzikmann,i believe the CSL/Frankenstein combination is quite special, enjoying a synergy that makes them tough to beat. What baffles me is how good the MZ2 and Frank's sounded in my system. It didn't sound lifeless at all at my place yet it was c... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks so much for sharing your impressions schw06. Very insightful and educational. This thread keeps getting better all the time. The DI's offer so many amp options that it's refreshing and confounding at the same time. There are countless optio... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I had not heard that grey9hound. I'm a big fan of Steely Dan. Sorry to hear of his passing. Thanks for the musical suggestions, I enjoy trying new artists out. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Good to hear porscheracer. They really are amazing speakers and it's good to see you're enjoying them. Had the pleasure of hearing Charles' system today. His Coincident system including their Line Stage, Frankenstein 300B mono blocks and Coinciden... |
