| Tekton Double Impacts Ha,ha thanks David. Part of it is, as I go through these boards many of the names are familiar but I can’t remember what someone said about their system 2 days ago let alone 2 weeks ago. So I have no idea what their system consists of. Just easier... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @snovosel - thanks for sharing your experiences regarding the amps! As to your comment: "One more note I thought I should share (although I wish there was a way for me to display photos of my listening space because then this explanation would be... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Ha,ha (liquid/rain references) and thanks geoffkait. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Good point. Maybe my system will sound worse as the solution continues to dry. Based on what I've read, graphene oxide is used in the manufacture of many products including graphene itself, batteries, and solar cells, for example. Total Contact is... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic geoffkait - Based on what I've read, as you indicated, graphene oxide is not conductive in and of itself. However, it can be made conductive with distilled water which is much cheaper than pure graphene. Here are excerpts from what I have read: GR... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic How much graphene is in Total Contact? What is mixed with the graphene that is in it? | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I DON'T use Total Contact. But I use a graphene oxide solution throughout my system. It's much cheaper than Total Contact and works wonderfully. And, yep, I bought it on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1Bottle-250ml-Bottle-5mg-ml-Single-Layer-Graph... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @barbapapa - I recently painted the connections inside on my wall outlets, connections to a grounding box and inside a power conditioner. The improvement was worthwhile and easily heard. CMA: Obviously if you decide to do this turn the power of at... | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp @gotog - +1 for the additional info. | |
| Synergistic Research XOT Carbon Crossover Transducers I use Carbon XOTs. They clean-up EMF at the binding post. They are easy to A/B and, like others have said, send them back if you don't hear a difference. Everybody's ears and systems are different. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I’ve owned Odyssey Kismet monoblocks as well. I think they would be great with the Double Impacts. A couple of months ago I heard the Double Impacts being driven with a Parasound Halo integrated and then with a Cary 300B integrated. I thought they... | |
| Low Watt Solid State Amp Check-out the new Vision SET 120 by Van Alstine. He is known for his high-value well designed amps. This is a low power solid state single ended amp. Price is $899. Link: https://avahifi.com/collections/power-amplifiers/products/vision-set-120-po... | |
| Corelli - really???? Hi David - Thanks for the update. Let us know how you come out. The Castello seems like a logical next step for Akiko. I assume it's a crystal based grounding block. I have a DIY version in my system. | |
| Tekton Polycell15 Looks a lot like the Impact Monitor but only 5 tweeters in the array and they are aligned vertically side by side. If anybody gets more info on these from Eric let us know. | |
| Tekton Polycell15 According to his website, Eric has a new monitor coming out. Hmmm.....? |
