Tekton DI Monitors
I reviewed the Double Impact Monitor for hometheaterreview.com, gave them five stars out of five stars, bought the review pair to use in my smaller reviewing system and am delighted with their performance.  I have had speakers in for review in thi... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
Hey nonoise,Congrats!  I still have my demo in-house and think this piece is a killer because of it's performance+build quality, and then you add in the cost factor it's off the charts.I'll be giving a five star rating when I finally write the rev...

Hi Kw6,The power supply is the upgraded linear power version. 
Tekton Double Impacts
To my three Amigos-not Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Steve Martin- but Ezra, Allen, and Mike Wright.Here's my response to your comments on the ULF Be's comparison to the standard ULF's:1)  All three of you have spent together, being very generous at ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey David,Here's my take on take on the comparison between the standard Ulfberth speakers and the Ulfberth Be speakers.  I went over to Ezra's house with five recordings I use to get my take on a piece of gear that I'm reviewing for my own pleasur... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
Hey David,Here's the "field report" comparing the Kinki EX-M1 to the latest generation T+A integrated amplifier.My assumption that the EX-M1 would come very close to the performance of the vastly more expensive German built T+A piece was incorrect... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
Hey David,Yes, the comparison will be in Ezra's system because he has the current reference T+A model.  Also, wanted to share that Mike Powell is a great gentlemen who is a true craftsman who builds beautiful audio gear.  I believe that Alvin made... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
Hey everybody,I won't repeat all the details of what I stated when I wrote to tell Srajan that he was in for a real treat regarding the Kinki EX-M1.  He was kind enough to share my thoughts in his review.Forget for a moment what this piece sells f... 
Pass Labs XA 25 Cables
Hey kw6,Two points:1) The F6 amplifier produces 50 watts into 4 ohms, the XA-25 when it was measured (Stereophile Review) produced 80 watts into 8 ohms and close to over 120 watts into 4 ohms-way over the very conservative rating done by Pass Labs... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey David,Mr. Chavira's review is spot on regarding the performance of the Impact Monitor.  The only caveat I would add on, based on my experience with reviewing them and purchasing them for my smaller system, is that you really have to use a refe... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey werther,It's too soon to tell, Azra's Ulf Be's have to break-in and his upstream gear is brand new, so therefore let's let him get some hours on the total rig.My system with the Ulf's sits in a much larger acoustic space and is tuned to be bea... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey Everybody,Just wanted to share that Allan and I just setup for Audio Arza his new pair of Ulf Be's this morning.  In the past I have found that speaker designs that use Beryllium drivers often had an edge/ bite that I found annoying after list... 
Pass Labs XA 25 Cables
Hey Kw6,I'm not a fan of digital preamps, which still cannot provide what a great tube based preamp can as far as tonality and space for my ears. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hey canibefrank,I wrote a review on them for hometheaterreview.com, gave them five stars, nick-named them the "DI Jr's", and bought the review pair for my smaller system.  If you want the details why go to my review and take a look. 
Pass Labs XA 25 Cables
Hey Kw6,I still use the Linear Tube Audio Micro-ZOTL as my reference linestage with the upgraded power supply.  This combo is the best I have found so far, and the both are very reasonable priced compared to other pieces I have reviewed in this sy...
