Tekton Double Impacts
If you have trouble uncrating them Jeffrey let me know and I'll be right over to help.......uncrate them into my truck, that is ;) Seriously though, it shouldn't be too bad. I got the Legacy Focus SE's in place by myself and they weigh as much as ...

Looks like some exciting times at Tekton. Does Eric ever sleep? Lots to respond to here.Teajay, thanks for the update and keep us posted as the 300B gets more time on it. Also, thanks for the tweeter array explanation. That makes so much sense. I ...

Iamasif,the di's will improve with and every improvement made to components or room. Making a dedicated listening room really showed off what my DI's can do. As good as your DI's sound now, you'll be very pleased hearing them in your new room once...

Deadfan23,The DI's are amazing and would work in your room but Eric's advise would be best to go on. I don't know of anyone that's actually heard the Ulfberhts but something tells me they will be out of this world. Since the Ulfberhts are from Eri...

Teajay,I believe all of the TungSol 12SN7 round plates are black glass.....or carbonized glass. But yes, mine will be black glass. I can't take any credit for ordering nice tubes, they were all suggestions from Andy at Vintage Tube Services. I'll ...

Teajay,The MZ2 is still amazing me as an integrated amp. Purity, clarity, blackest of backgrounds, amazing tone, very dynamic, amazing bass........what more could one want? Well.....maybe a tad bit more texture and air.....the meat on the bones yo...

Iamasif,A suggestion for you. If your processor/reciever has a phantom mode try your system without a center channel. The DI's image so well I preferred home theater without the center channel. Just a thought, especially with your center channel n...

Congrats Kenny, you're going to love the MZ2......whether as a pre amp ot amp. It's still astounding me as an amp so I haven't tried it as a pre amp, but as you know many can't say enough good things about it as a pre. A speaker designer summed up...

I too await Teajay's 300B review as I'm still trying to decide which way to go regarding an amp. For now I'm really enjoying the MZ2 but would like a tad bit more texture, air and warmth......qualities SET amps seem to excel at. For now I'll be co...

Teajay Are you reviewing the Classic or FFX version? Both look nice but the FFX is quite a bit more expensive and probably what I’d want. I’m very happy with using just the MZ2 but after listening further I can see where a bit more texture and war...

Yes Nick, I did go with the upgraded power supply. Have fun listening to the Tektons and LTA stuff. Hopefully you'll be able to hear both together as they sound great together. Well, I couldn't wait any longer and rolled the 40's RCA tubes in the ...

Charles,This little one watt wonder defies all logic. It doesn't make sense that the MZ2 can not only produce sound levels equaling my Torii, but levels exceeding it. I usually listen in the mid 70 db's and can obtain levels in the upper 80's befo... 
Tekton Double Impacts
So my Linear Tube Audio MZ2 arrived today and while its way too soon to properly review it, my initial reaction is one of complete shock. I can't believe the quality and level of sound this little amp produces. It easily drives the DI's to 95+ db ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Good one David! Not ot just the Ulfberhts, but the DI SE also. The 1812's are seemingly getting lost in the shuffle. I wonder where they fit into hierarchy? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes, extended listening to the DI's can cause disorientation 😜 And yes, Charles is correct, I have an MZ2 on the way. My LTA MZ2 will be here tomorrow along with my NOS RCA 12SN7's and 12AT7's. Working with both Mark at LTA and Andy at Vintage Tub...
