Tekton Double Impacts
@audioman58 The $300 upgrade version uses Clarity caps. Just curious if you have ever heard the DIs? You say the Sonus Fabers are much better balanced. I heard the Olympica 3 at Hansen's audio in Dayton Ohio and did not care for them much. Seemed ... 
“Invest” in Tekton?
Bullitt,have you tried tubes in the signal path at all?Does your 4520 have a preamp input? I have an older Denon 5803 that I picked up in a pawn shop for $150. Score! Its amplifier section is pretty descent. You could probably find a used tube pre... 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
I have to say I think the GE sensitivity is deceiving. I found they were waay better with a high current ss amp. They sounded good with tubes but lost lots of impact. The class D amps that power the woofers take on the characteristics of the amp t... 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
I owned the Triton 1 for about 6 months. Very good speaker IMO. I feel the DIs do everything at least a little better.  
Golden Ear Triton 1 Amplifier suggestions
Even though I have moved on from the Triton 1s for anyone that's wondering I found the best match I tried was a Jolida Fusion Preamp with Odyssey Stratos Extreme amplifier.  
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
Fact is there are lots of people on multiple sites that are singing praises about the DIs. I think the idea that we have any business interest in Tekton is unfounded. i will say that with the show impressions I have read stating that dynamics were... 
Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
kclone,i could be wrong but I think the differences between streamers only outputing the digital signal to an external DAC would be the amount of jitter they produce.

2nd the Double Impacts. I don't think you will come close to these for the price range you are shopping in.  
Tekton Double Impacts
To those with the MZ2 using as an amplifier.... Do you feel that one watt does justice to rock music at 90db average volume from 8 ft away with the DI? Does the MZ2 only have one set pre outs? Can another be added if so as an option? If I was not ... 
Tekton double impacts vs golden ear triton 1 speakers.
I have owned both. Had the Triton 1 for about 8 months or so and liked them quite a bit. Currently have the Double Impact. Honestly I think the DIs do everything at least a little better including bass. Maybe not as deep but better articulated and... 
Tekton Double Impacts
333Jeffrey,I am right on the edge of ordering a Schiit DAC. Did you like the Yaggy better than the Gumby?Also what other DACs did you compare with? Right now have a Wyred4Sound DAC-2.  
KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6
Is haven't heard the Thiel or any Thiel for that matter although I would like to. Between the KEF and the Dynaudio I feel the Dyn is much better balanced and definitely more full range. As said above you will need an amp with some balls to get the... 
Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
Using the internal DAC of the Bluesound. Very listenable actually. Not as detailed or deep as the DAC-2 but more listenable on less than stellar recordings. MQA tracks sound very good as well.  
Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
Does your DAC-2 have the femto clock in it? I am sending mine in to get converted to 110v from 220v and adding the femto clock. Not sure I'll hear any difference or not. I was thinking about going the V.2 route but decided to wait and see if they ... 
Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer
Yes I am currently running the node directly into the w4s via coax. The Vlink or similar reclocking device is to improve the jitter before entering the DAC. Sounds very good as is but I am curious if any improvement could be made with a device lik...
