| Advice on dedicated room I'm a General Contractor. 2x4 will be fine. I do strongly suggest you buy a product called "Rockwool" and use it in all your wall studs and add a layer to your ceiling if it is currently R19 Batt. I do this on all my new home builds for home off... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Sitting here listening to Kenny Burrell, "Midnight Blue" 24/192 Qobuz.The sound stage is so wide the music is coming beside and slightly behind both ears. One of these moments that you wish you could share it with someone else but I'm all alone, s... | |
| Why do I "need" Audirvana, Roon or the like versus just Tidal App? Dug up this old thread. Today I tested the Qobuz application again, playing Ben Harpers "Winter is for Lovers". Did side by side comparison with Audirvana playing the same high res tracks. 24/96 to my stand alone DAC. There is no comparison, Aud... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. Here is a whitepaper from Decware that may help you understand sensitivity matching. https://www.decware.com/paper55.htm | |
| Poor Customer Service OP, Some of the manufacturers have their own circles or groups on other websites. These folks answer questions immediately and often get the techs involved directly. I know James from Bryston is one example. There is a benefit to choosing a supp... | |
| Analog is obsolete pure digital not class D ... I've heard something along the lines of the title of this thread for the last twenty years. Also...."Tubes are Dead". Love the hand action.....they guy on the right looks like he is conducting an orchestra. Other readers, please pm for a shipp... | |
| My Experience With Tekton Indeed that would matter except the Tekton Literature and their website indicate 2.83V/m and the Lab tested at 2.83V/m. no "W" used. So the comparison is apples to apples. This is also the question the owner would not answer. Nice video, but no... | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? My home has a hardwood floor on a crawlspace. 12" subs cause simply too much structural rattle in the room. Installed set of SVS Soundpath isopods. Problem solved. Clean crisp bass extension. No lost energy to the room floor. Night and Day differ... | |
| Helping a kid out I'm in with Tomic & Drussell.....matching for the kid if you go the Bottlehead route. | |
| My Experience With Tekton I beg to differ Danager. If using class AB with a limited A bias, you definitely want to know the accurate sensitivity if your listening standard is 65-75 Db. Also, any published standard can be measured, so if it is simply a lie, then it speaks... | |
| Helping a kid out So cool OP. Well done. (tip of the hat to you). | |
| Stereophiles 2021 Recommended Components is now on line. @testpilot Same, I find their measurements interesting as well simply because so many companies can not be trusted to publish the truth. In fairness they also pick up info on new companies that I find interesting. One example being Okto Research... | |
| Referent point Is it possible to have a thread without anyone mentioning Tekton? Its like hearing your Ring Doorbell alert you to motion at your front door, you race to the door in expectation of a beautiful Amazon Box but instead you find someone left a dog tu... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Phil, Thank you for your review. I read the longer version of your experience over on Audiophilestyle and it was very helpful to me. You have saved me from making a mistake. It is difficult to read through the paid reviews/magazines and get relia... |
