| Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps. Thanks for the link, the info was very helpfulthanks also for the antitekton thread bumps lol ;-) | |
| Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps. Thanks for the reply. These 3 components are quite popular for widely different reasons and I’m hoping, because of this, to hear someone’s actual experience, positive or not. A Link to your thread would be much appreciated. I somehow didn’t come ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Really enjoying the Tekton DI, 4 ohm, but also looking at various tube amp designsHas anyone come across the impedance curve/graph yet?If so, please postThanks:-) | |
| Classical composers, symphonies Thanks for the suggestions.Something about Sibelius turned me away earlier in life, I will have to revisit Will listen to Nielson, Schuman, and Paganini moreLooking forward to some that I have never heard of, in craig159 postI still find it hard t... | |
| Oppo 205 and external DAC? Thanks for the response. Ithought I came across a thread describing measured and anecdotal improvement with the balanced output, regardless of cable length ....I can’t seem to find the link for reference ...anyways it wouldn’t appear to be cost e... | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 Thank you for the explanation.I have the front screen on now and there is only a 1 second blink when turning off and on the tv.I can live with that. You saved me a headache- thanks again | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 Yes, but if I am watching an HDMI connected tv in mute while listening to CD on the oppo....if I just turn *off* the tv it shouldn't cause problems with the CD playing. I kind of understand if I were to turn *on* the tv there wiuld be some smart c... | |
| Interesting HDMI Problem: OPPO UDP-205 Just received this player and have the same problem.While CD is playing, if tv is turned off or on, audio repeatedly blinks in and out, the last time in went on for about a minute so I had to unplug the HDMI to stop it.Also 10 ft of digital coax i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,I was also impressed with the First Watt J2 and Tekton DI's.Since you are impressed with the DI's and the xa25 , have you by any chance also auditioned the 30.8? Or do you think they are basically the same or very close?Thanks | |
| Tube and SS pairs Thanks for everyone's contribution. As most conclusions are, it seems to depend on specific equipment synergies. It must be nice to be a dealer of multiple high end brands :-)I was mainly looking for some simplification of perhaps an enhanced "tub... | |
| Tube and SS pairs Not to make the question more complicated, but if your source was cd, preamp -SS, and amp- tube, would you then have more signal/information loss, maybe more harmonic distortion than a simpler, one time, digital to analog conversion?On a different... | |
| Tube and SS pairs Thanks for the replies and examples posted.I realize my question was a little vague so I would like to rephrase it just to look at it from a different angle:If you were to build a system from the ground up, would you get a SS amp to mate with a tu... | |
| First Tube Amp Thanks for the detailed information and suggestions. I am intrigued by these tube amps, especially the SET - however wondering if I would tolerate it's limitations - as you mentioned with large orchestras.Many of your descriptions/positive traits ... | |
| First Tube Amp Thanks for responding.As someone already mentioned, speakers are 8 ohm, the DI’s, and the amp is Yaquin. Speaker cables are 6’. My room size is on the small side and I don’t particularly like to play music loud.Roxy , which 300 b do you have?By bl... | |
| First Tube Amp Chuck, thanks for the reply. That was my original plan if I liked It. Most of these nicer amps like Carey have a hefty restocking fee which I was trying to avoid. I figured on perceiving the tube quality through defects and if I liked what I was... |
