If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
First, I made an error regarding the moniker on this great transport, it's the CDT2-MK2, not CDT2-MK3.  The CDT2-MK2 retails for $2,598 Singapore dollars, not $4,980-that's for the reference CDT3-MK2.  The CDT3-MK2 internally up-samples all CD's a...

Hey Erik,Though out this thread you make recommendations and negative statements about the DI Monitors.I have one question:  Have you ever heard these speakers with your own ears?  If you have then you have some credibility, if not you are speakin... 
Tekton DI Monitors
Hey Charles,This is one of your very well said/insightful statements that I totally agree with.  By the way its been four professional reviewers that gave the DI Monitors five stars, not two.  I still found it amazing what nit-picking still goes o... 
Tekton DI Monitors
Hey Erik,You keep referring to the DI Monitor as a "quasi' D'Appolito design" , however I politely disagree with this statement.  Since it is not a D'Appolito design to begin with, therefore it by logic it can't be a "quasi" version by default.  A... 
Tekton DI Monitors
Hey facten, Let me be very clear and precise, for my personal taste the DI Monitors did out perform the speakers that I mentioned.  I could have purchased any other of the speakers I reviewed.  However, I did not, but did purchase the review pair ...

To address seanhies1 "pet peeve",Here's the speakers that have been in the same system for review that the the DI Monitors were compared to: Role Audio Enterprise Speaker 4K, Lawrence Audio Violin SE Speaker $8,500, Lawrence Audio Mandolin $5,500,...

By the way guys,Technically, the DI Monitor is not a D'Appolitos design because it is a three way design, not a two way design.  The smaller transducers sonicly function as a single point two way coaxial speaker, hence it's a three way design.  In...

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...

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...

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...
