| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread One thing I forgot: I also tilt the Lore up slightly, about 1/2 inch. Also, the Lore loses about a foot laterally, but still well outside the speakers. Depth is superb on both speakers. If I swap in my Cary 280 v12 with KT66s, the depth increase, ... | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread First, let me state that my measurements really won't help you, completely different type of room, speakers and so forth...yet, it is interesting to explore because I know my circumstance breaks with conventional wisdom.As stated, my office is 14x... | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread Ok, I will measure distances. Get back soon, clear up a little work stuff first. | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread I'm so happy with my Tekton Lores and 4.5s. The 4.5s especially throw a very wide soundstage in my 14x16 office, I can't believe it myself at times. For example, playing Neil Young's "Down by the River" or "Cowgirls in the Sand" the soundstage is ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I like my Lores best with my Cary 280 V12, 50 watts of push-pull triode. No glare or sssssibilance at all. For me everything is just right. My Cary 300SEI is also great and the Primaluna Dialogue1 just a tad and a half behind the former two. Even ... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 As far as your KT88s, also better better brands out there, some warmer than EH. | |
| Best integrated tube amp for around $2000 Second Trelja, get the Cary, you will not be sorry, great match with the Harbeth, nice music-lovers synergy. | |
| Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? I have Cary and Primaluna amps among others. To my ears Cary is the winner but the Primaluna integrated is a well-built, good sounding integrated with many pluses including the auto bias feature that makes tube-rolling a snap, easy to tailor your ... | |
| best chinese tube amp under $1k? I'll second the Eastern Electric stuff as well. You could also check out Almarro 205s (Japanese), Sophia Baby, Xindak...I | |
| best chinese tube amp under $1k? I can vouch for Primaluna and Jolida being good sounding and well-built gear and I have used both with Tekton Lore and 4.5s. Nice match, must tube-roll to get best sound. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Posted about M-Lore last night, don't know why it didn't show up, but the M-Lore got the Major Mojo Award. | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts I recently purchased a Primaluna Dialogue 1. A nice, feature laden, well built integrated that is fun. To get the warm full sound you must get out of the stock tubes. I fooled around with various tubes, a snap since this unit self-bias, plus accep... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Second Andr, Joes Tube Lore gives a great summary. I have Sylvania 5751s Gold black plate that made a huge difference in one of my amps; but always trust your own ears. | |
| Question to 6L6 tube experts Jedinite24, as per articles by Jeff Day and others I would contact Jim McShane, inquire about the NOS 6L6 Russian tube 6N3C-E also known as a 6P3S-E, cost is around $65.00 per quad, very reliable and sound great! I have a quad in my Primaluna Dial... | |
