| Tekton Double Impacts Since I have ventured out of the Schiit universe with my Pioneer M-22 purchase and been very happy with it and how well it works with the DIs, I am wondering if there are some better options for a tube preamp than Freya. Requirements would be cont... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts As far as power goes, it's interesting that my 30 WPC Class A SS amp, the Pioneer M-22, seems to drive my DI's just as well as my 200 WPC Class AB SS amp, the Schiit Vidar.Even though the Vidar has a 3.2dB more gain and 170 WPC more, the volume co... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I looked up the math so now I know how to calculate amp gain. All you need to know is watts, load resistance, and input sensitivity. Two formulas to solve and you are all done! Thanks!http://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/amplifier-voltage-gain | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Oh, I have a paper and PDF copy of the service manual. I've been trying to locate the user manual. No luck.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks for the info!!The M-22 has 23.8dB of gain. Really? Vidar has 27dB of gain. That makes sense based on how little I have to move the volume knob to match sound levels between the two amps.The interesting thing is that Vidar, even with the pre... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts mac48025The Pioneer M-22 runs quite hot. I can touch the heatsinks but I can't leave my hands on them for very long.The amp is 6" tall and I have it in an 8" space on my rack. The rack is open on all four sides so I think the ventilation's is fine... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The more time I spend listening to my new (old) dual-mono Pioneer M-22, the more I love it. 30 amps of pure Class A power is quite wonderful with the DI speakers. It is an absolutely better sound that what I got with the Schiit Audio Vidar amp.Fri... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I almost forgot. The gain of the M-22 amp is somewhat less than Vidar as the tube hum is quieter. About 3dB less if measured 2 inches from one of the midrange driver dust caps. When volume matching, I didn't have to turn the volume knob all that m... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The refurbished Pioneer M-22 I bought arrived today with the morning mail. It is a heavy amp at 48.5 lbs. Its gorgeous!I setup the Vidar and M-22 on the floor in front of my rack so it would be easy to swap cables and let both amps warm up for 30 ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have talked with Karma at Tekton and you can consider my situation taken care of. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I just received an email from Eric that says he is going to send me "new ones". I assume that means new woofers. Karma is supposed to be getting in touch with me tomorrow.My Pioneer M-22 amp is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I am looking forward to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Another email sent after another day of no real response. I am now thinking about sending the speakers back... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I got a response from Karma telling me she will be getting me a response from Eric....That’s a response but not a very good one. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well, no response in over two days...... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If you want to succeed selling $3000 to $15000 products in a market like this, customer service had better be quite good. Tekton are dropping the ball.... |
