| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS Do they feed you good ribs at any/all of the audio shows?Shhh Chuck, don't mention your fabulous new (Polish designed, made in UK?) turntable. @three_easy_payments - I understand the contention, however despite this, not all of your listed points ... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Oh, and while I was at the Chuxpona 2021(sorry if I spelt it wrong MC?) my Fidelium pair were on (I need to buy more) the freshly unboxed Audioquest fog lifters (ha, there goes that name dropping Aussie).Someone tripped over the Fideliums, pulling... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Thanks. We had them here and the difference was as you describe. This is not to knock them. They are very fast and articulate, clean and clear, virtually as free of glare and tonal coloration as F1. They just fall a little short in terms of body, ... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS @phcollie - that thread would have been my preference to discuss the MC weekend, and I feel a little guilty about doing it in here. | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS @jayctoy - seems to me you're a good sport, good to interact with you.In other threads, I have mentioned the possible pitfalls of swapping out drivers into a speaker and how it may (more often than not) disrupt the linearity of the output. Often a... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS I just deleted my last post, because after thinking about it and talking it over with a friend, we both came back to the strong opinion that it's more likely that clipping caused high frequency distortion and that clipping is what tore your driver... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS Off on some tangent here eh sport! You seem bitter! Did Rick’s balanced & complimentary reflection on your speakers/system, which folks were reacting to , fall short of the glowing review you think was warranted. It sure seems that way since ... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS 1) Was any time spent listening toyour loudspeakers? If so, what was the reaction?Yes, actually on both days my speakers were given a generous amount of time to listen to. My wife actually proclaimed that after listening to Tracy Chapman on vinyl... | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS I was there, at Chuck’s weekend, I am not well read in here, and don’t have a following at all. I knew this when I tried to interest people into trying spring isolation, that someone as polarizing as millercarbon had to be introduced for anyone to... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning The Puritan does not limit current. This has been my actual experience with large SS, pure class A amps which are very high current designs. I have a 2 x 400watt (8ohms) power amplifier with all my digital front end plugged in, with no loss of dyn... | |
| Speaker magnets I am led to believe that Tekton utilise this type of magnet in their TOTL Moab speakers.... I wonder what led you to believe that? Tarot cards, ouija board, industrial strength recreational pharmaceuticals, recent alien abduction? | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. Puritan PSM-156Isolation springs**waiting for my Fidelium cables to be dropped off by USPS, taking them to Washington State to hear against Townshend F1 speaker cables with millercarbon** $25K for dac, preamp and music server. One box that does re... | |
| Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality? @tubebuffer , yeah, as sejodiren posted, that's got to be one of the wildest on topic posts I've read. | |
| Power cord choice? I went with the Puritan PSM 156 because I don’t require more than a kilowatt of power at any device, and certainly not the nearly 1.4kW the power conditioner can deliver.110VAC = approx. 69.96VDC after rectification .so rounded up to 70VDC x 15A =... | |
| Noise floors @sns - yes a quiet room really helps. I am fortunate that my listening room is entirely bordered by other rooms before external walls.The ducted air con is the noise floor in my listening room.@millercarbon - I thought you live in or near Seattle,... |
