| Looking to improve my system I have heard many members in other posts comment on the Tekton Double impact speakers. Any thoughts? Everything I’ve previously mentioned will address exactly the points you mentioned. Including the Double Impacts which are indeed very highly reg... | |
| Speaker Placement I would set them up in the room. Preferably equidistant from where you will be sitting. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions It's a 10 to 1 ratio with wattage anyway. It takes 1000w to effectively double the output of 100w amplifier in spl. So even with 50w you need 500w just to double the perceived spl. At least that's how it's been explained to me. Please corre... | |
| Which one produces a bigger change... changing a rectifier tube or tubes on my DAC? Rectifier diodes, tube or otherwise, make a huge improvement. More detail yet more liquid, blacker backgrounds with improved dynamic shadings. Have never done that particular one but all the diode upgrades I have done were extremely cost effective... | |
| Why Do 12" Tonearms Cost So Much More Than 9"? Why do tone arms cost so much in the first place? Because not many are made. A lot of special tooling that is not cheap is amortized over not very many units sold. With 12" its even worse. There really is no advantage worth that kind of money. For... | |
| Now I get it... White Hot Stampers (A+++) cost a small fortune but to me are totally worth it. This is just me, but I've had enough now to be able to do a fairly good comparison. Which is hard, because ultimately its never just the pressing being compared, you ar... | |
| Now I get it... With my new set-up I am astounded about how some of my albums just make me go "Holy S***!" While the others, most often the reissue 180 gram "audiophile pressings", are enjoyable but sound less alive. There are exceptions to that rule, of course, ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience So the other night I put on Springsteen The Ghost of Tom Joad. Several of these like Highway 29 are pretty much just Bruce sitting there playing his string guitar. The sound is exactly that, as if Bruce is right there in the room. Could hardly be ... | |
| Lots of bass at walls, lack of bass in center of room/listening position Miller so in a smaller room you cannot get good bass without subs ? Correct. And small means small relative to wavelength. Since the the wavelengths of the lowest bass we want are 40 to 50 feet or more (depends how low you want to go) then small ... | |
| can someone have a look at this spectrogram / waveform is this music or noise? The main thing I learned, its impossible to last 5 minutes playing this game. | |
| No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options? Its doubtful you will hear any improvement from the shorter length. So the question is how much is the better looking shorter length worth it to you? Some place like the Cable Co will probably take your longer cable on trade and sell you the short... | |
| $5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick If you can handle its size and appearance then Tekton Moab is unbeatable in this range. Also incredibly easy to drive, and anything and everything you throw at it comes out perfect. They go big, they play intimate. They go deep, and they go extend... | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? Leave the player turned on 24/7. When the day comes you realize it sounds just the same now every day, its burned in. "Manufacturer says" can mean anything. Especially since it wasn’t even the manufacturer who said this. No one who manufactures tu... | |
| can someone have a look at this spectrogram / waveform is this music or noise? Many times I have asked people, do you enjoy looking at graphs or listening to music? Usually sarcastically. Never actually had anyone take me up on it. So congratulations are in order. I guess. | |
| Looking to improve my system Okay so what you've got right now is some clear ideas of what you want, which is good. To me it looks like you've got some quite good components like the Prima Luna and turntable, some other components that are not so good, and a bunch of componen... |
