| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" dcevans,If you do decide to try other speakers, consider the Fritz Carrera. Not efficient on paper but designed to be an easy load. I heard them at a show off a flea powered tube amp and was shocked. Have also heard Tekton Double Impact spe... | |
| A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content) The ls50’s are very good, very high quality speakers, but are small and have limited bass extension. I find they are also not as inefficient as some similar but also not the easiest load to drive so a beefy amp with higher current delivery potenti... | |

| Is there a standard for number of LP's per inch? Take a few samples from your collection to see how many per inch. Then use the average per inch X # inches total and there is your estimate.I'd separate out box sets if you can and count or estimate those separately. | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. The last paragraph of what millercarbon said is what matters. The amp will work harder driving 4 speakers compared to 2 so if you try to go as loud with 4 versus two, you will probably find the sound quality deteriorates and the amp will start to ... | |

| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Well, no audiophile hobby period without technology. | |
| Where to hear ATC speakers I’ve only heard them at audio shows. No local dealers. Always sound pretty distinctive. Have not had enough exposure to form a lasting opinion. Still interested. No doubt the build quality is quite good and the company has a great reputation f... | |
| Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby? Too bad. It's barely got a pulse and hanging on by a thread already while the rest of the music loving world continues to close the gap on sound quality and widen the gap on cost. Maybe human hearing will continue to evolve and improve as well ... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" many models might leverage teh same "breakthrough". Not so hard to imagine. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" Hey wolf, yes I have no doubt they are way better than the average bear with even lower power tubes amps, maybe the best choice out there at their price point even, but being the technical stickler I am, I’d like to see some measurements of impeda... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? erik most of the world is with you on that desired lifestyle description including me these days, especially as I head towards retirement years and more downsizing and fewer hassles. I will probably keep my big OHM F5s around as long as possible b... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? I might not have said this just a few years back, but these days I believe sound quality is not a good reason to not go with a good integrated amp. Solutions to the old problems of sticking too many circuits and large transformers in close proximi... |
