| FUSES, Finally!? Right. Don't know about the bees but Synergistic Blue and Orange are good value for money. Either one of these roughly $150 fuses is approximately equivalent to a $500 power cord. Fuses are just one in a very long list of highly questionable thing... | |
| Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners That mirrors advice teajay gave me, to stick with soft dome tweeters. It may help to understand, a lot of the magic is in the MTM array. Eric's design philosophy is grounded in low mass/low stiction. Using an array of very small drivers (tweeters)... | |
| Spectral preamp picking up a radio station You get a tuner for free. What's wrong with that?The problem is it's not a tuner. A tuner let's you, uh, tune to the frequency you want. Something they used to teach everyone back in the 50's, before education got so dumbed down nobody knows anyth... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Sheeple. If you're gonna eavesdrop get it right.If all you can manage is to distort my words and throw insults without even the slightest semblance of reasoned argument there is a whole group here you will fit in just fine with. Include me out. | |
| Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners Its hard enough finding people who have personally listened and compared different models. To even begin to answer your question would call for comparing those different upgrades. Which maybe there is someone out there who has, but I don't fancy y... | |
| Burn-In with Preowned Transparent Speaker Cables? IME, used cables require a short run-in period (depending on how long ago they were in use). Consider that they were coiled, boxed, then maybe sat for awhile. They’ll need to physically settle into your setup. Cables present changes in sound durin... | |
| Thoughts on placing amps on stone/tile base Vibration control is a concern and yes everything sounds different. Glass, tile and stone all can be used but they ring and will impart hardness and glare. Wood is better and the sound you get will depend on the type of wood, thickness, and constr... | |
| The value of Bad. Knowing what you don't want, is as valuable as knowing what you do. Knowing what I don't want is incredibly valuable. Of course it takes time learning what's not worth knowing about, or having. But then once done it pays dividends forevermore. Don't want speakers less than 92dB sensitivity. Don't want phono cart... | |
| Tube life You have a pretty good handle on the situation it seems to me. Your trick of comparing old to new tubes is what I do too. Can never predict life any more than you can predict spectacular fireworks. 2-3 years sounds about right to me. With a wall t... | |
| Does the Rogue Cronus Magnum III have any real competition in its same price point of $3k? Raven Audio NighthawkOP asked for competition. Which probably means a fair fight, not a knockout. | |
| Basic question about choosing an integrated amp Either of these will be better than your old AVR. Some people think that by crossing over or filtering the low bass from the mains this improves clarity and detail. But the problem is good bass response depends more than anything else on the numbe... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. Einstein by the way was an iconoclast with frizzy hair. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. And then cakyol said:"There is error detecting & correcting logic in all digital gear."Yes, of course there is, but what does that have to do with digital cables? It is not the job of digital cables to correct errors in the digital stream.... | |
| We spend too much time talking about tweeters 85% of the sound out of a speaker if not 95% is not in the tweeter, but the marketing people have us talking more about them than anything else. I'll say. Tekton sold me on these Moabs with marketing saying 85% of the sound actually does come ... | |
| Frequency Response I just difn’t know or think that they happened above 100hz or so. Never thought abkut hugher up frequencies cancelling themselves out. Happens at every frequency. Every wave hits a flat surface reflects and all the reflections interact with di... |
