| Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K BENCHMARK , Try to find a used LA-4 pre amp. New, about 3 K. I have 2 systems, one manages each, like it that much, solid state. Robert TN | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. For the above post, I forgot to mention this all took place in the late 60"s may be very early 70's. Just to place a date on it. Above word in earlier, Mesmerizing ! Should have proofread, sorry. | |
| What is your most fond musical memory. Mine may not quite as memorable, living in NY about an hour from the City, my evening routine would start at 11pm. A Disc jockey from WNEW 107.9 (I think) Allison Steele referred to as the NIGHT BIRD would begin her show for several hours. She ha... | |
| recommendation of amps No I did not. I got a great deal on a Pass X-250.8 With my current system it runs in Class A all the time, sweet. No regrets, and the great deal didn't hurt either, still a lot of money for me, cost of doing business I guess.. Good luck. | |
| recommendation of amps I listened to the review of the 3 schiit units. Very interesting, and somewhat confusing at the same time. More is less, less is more, and the top of the line OG, I think? Will continue to look,and review, Thnaks | |
| recommendation of amps yyzantabarbara and ddafoe, Thank u both for your input. I currently run in both my systems The LA-4 pre amp, like it that much, Gain control is great and with a firm ware upgrade you can now see the volume level far away, which is nice (sit abo... | |
| recommendation of amps I may just keep the benchmark, as it is very good. I had the benchmark in my main system earlier, and felt it was lacking (maybe in clarity, and depth,voice) I replaced it with a great deal (meitner MA1 V2 DAC) The Meitner seems to punch ahead (... | |
| recommendation of amps Thank you all so much for your suggestions. ALL very good. Its been awhile, here is what has transpired. I decided to Move the ATI 6002 Amp into my smaller stereo room, (As I like it that much,so do the Fritz Carbons) and sounds great. As my... | |
| Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit. I have 2 systems, one considerably higher than the other, and both are anchored by the Benchmark LA-4 pre -amp, balanced. 30 day trial period, guaranteed to keep. One of the best pieces of Audio equipment around, and actually priced reasonably, r... | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I guess I must add my 2 cents. My system (large acoustical area and 80 to 90 db Rock and Roll only) Pass x250.8 (running in Class A) Tekton Double impacts upgraded, SVS Sb 4000 sub, Meitner MA1 V2 DAC, Project RS2T transport, all decent cabling, n... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Trying to digest all these posts is difficult at best. So much information.Thanks though. My issue is trying to decide on which to Order??? As a Rock and Roll person only. Pink Floyd, Rush, YES, AC/DC etc. MOAB with BE upgrade or Encore. Eric has... | |
| Moving up???? Thanks to all, I really appreciate it. I love my Tekton DI's, hard to beat them for my Rock and Roll music. There are so many choices out there. I just looked at Sound Advice per recommendations, on the Usher Mini 2, as it's in my price range. Ne... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Very interesting stuff. I'm in a similar dilemma. Have a somewhat hi end system, with a SVS sub SB4000, Amp/ Pass X250.8 , large area 20x30" high ceiling R&R at high 80's low 90's digital only , very nice DAC and hi end CD transport, and str... | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread Just spent some time on the phone with Eric at Tekton, He suggested as I was into R&R exclusively ' that the MOAB, with BE tweeter would be the better way to go. The encors are very accurate speakers, but, at this time more suited to classical... | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread Robert TN I have the DI's upgraded (not SE version) no BE tweeter, for 3 years now, all R&R about 85 to90DB, give or take. Pass labs new (still paying for it) x-250.8 Amp, large area 20 x30" area of large shop that is not partitioned off of ... |
