Tekton Double Impacts
Hey Everybody,As I shared with Eric last week if anybody in the Chicago land area would like to hear the Ulfberht Speakers they are more then welcomed to my home to see/hear them.  I'm a very busy fellow, but I will make the time for a visit if yo...

Hey mac48025,Congrats!  I totally agree with you regarding: 1) Your description of how Aric's amp, being driven by the Micro-ZOTL delivers beautiful music through the DI's.  It is by far the best combination I have heard on both the DI's and ULf's...

Hey mac48025,You will not regret getting the SE's, they are a wonderful speaker.  I'm equally excited for you getting back your ZOTL and your new "baby" Aric's SET KT-88 amplifier.  You owe us a field report regrading this combo, indeed.  Also let...

No body pointed out, gracefully, that I kept referring to the DI SE's as the "SI's".  Well, of course I did not rename the speaker, but mistakenly got into the groove of using the wrong wording in the post regarding the field report on the SE's pe...

Hey Charles,Nope, Ezra's comment did not have one bit of hyperbole contained in it at all.  He has owned historically some of the most expensive and highly regarded speakers on the market (YG Acoustics, Magico, Van Schweikert) and I have heard all...

Hey Gentlemen,Here's my "field report" based on about three hours of listening to the first pair of DI SI's at Ezra's house this afternoon.  Besides, Ezra the listening panel was composed of Mike (Audio Archon who unpacked and set them up), Alen (...

Hey david ten,I talked to Eric yesterday and the first pair of SI's, which are Ezra's set, have been shipped and will arrive this Wednesday.  Eric was extremely pleased about the performance of his new design.  I will be going to Ezra's home to he...

Hi Charlies,It seems to me that what would be a perfect fit both $ and performance for jacarcopo's objectives would be Linear Tube Audio's Micro-ZOTL.Do you agree?

Hey Kenny,I had talked to Aric earlier today and he shared that you had gotten the custom SET 2A3 amplifier you had him build for you.  Please, when you have even a cursory take on it, let us know what you think!  If your custom SET 2A3 amp lives ...

Hey grey9hound,I would not describe my position as a "hater" of McIntosh gear.  I have tried for at least twenty years to understand why listeners liked this brands house sound because I never got it.  Many of my friends had McIntosh amplifiers dr...

Hey grey9hound,I heard your MX151 in the context of total McIntosh system driving Sonus Faber speakers in a well set up room.  To be frank, I'm not a fan of McIntosh gear and find their tube amps kinda grainy and not very refined sounding.  Theref...

Hey Grannyring,I have a very strong assumption that your taste and mine are very similar in what we want our systems to sound like.  Of course I want micro-details and an accurate rendering of the leading edge of the note, but not so sharp it cuts...

Hey mikirob,Thanks for your kind words and disagreeing with jetter's comment about my post.  The only reason I share and love to post here is that we all act like gentleman and have fun sharing and at times disagreeing with each other with no mali...

Hey jetter,I'm always very mindful on my posts to be very respectful towards other GON members and never put things on a personal level.  I'm blunt and clearly give my opinion and at times disagree with some one's viewpoint, but do not attack the ...

Just wanted to share,Since I had the great luck to become a professional reviewer about five years ago, one of the most rewarding/pleasurable aspects of this work has been seeking out boutique companies that cannot offered advertising or the "payo...
