| Tekton Double Impacts Hey grannyring,One more point I forgot to share is that it makes prefect sense to me way you can drive your AZ's without a tube in sight, and get the beauty you want in your system. The Crescendo's are slightly warm and full, therefore, the syner... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey grannyring,Between two old timers who have been at this a long time, we will agree to disagree regarding the DI's being, " just lean, on the forward/analytical side of things". I think they are dead on neutral and not in anyway analytical, th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey jcarcopo,I never was riding a "high horse" but also believed that in a SET design to get the "inner glow", timbres/colors, liquidity and intimacy we all love you had to use 2A3/45/300b tubes. However, with AricAudio's SET which uses KT-88's I... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Grannyring,Thanks for a very interesting field report! The two relatively minor criticisms of the DI's compared to your AZ Crescendo's, which I think are wonderful music makers that I have listened to many times, I believe are more based on g... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ezra just put his order in with Aric to build his SET mono-blocks, therefore I'll bring both the SET 2A3 and SET KT-88 amps over to get my take on the SE's, until he gets his custom pair. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,Today, Eric fine tuned the first pair of DI SE's that are going to Mike's (Audio Archon) customer/friend Ezra! The pair will be shipped out this Monday, so Ezra will have them towards the end of next week. I'm a lucky individual that I'... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Just wanted to share,My hunch all along was that the superlative sound I was getting with the Triode Lab SET 2A3 amplifier was based on the synergy between it and the Micro-ZOTL preamplifier. The 2A3 provided the timbres/colors, "meat on the bone... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Charlies,I have owned for over 30 years Nelson Pass's wonderful amplifiers ( Threshold SA-1's, Aleph 1's, XA-60.5's, XA-60.8's, SET-2) and loved them all. Each generation of his great creations got better and came closer to what tubes have to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Werther,That's a great question. Without copping out here's my answer. Either amp driven by the Micro-ZOTL on both speakers are superlative in their performance across the sonic spectrum ( Timbres/color, micro-details, sweet extended highs, ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys, Great news! I purchased a matched pair of JJ Blue Glass KT-88's, cost $120.00, and cannot tell the difference between their sonics and the much more expensive Shuguang tubes. I have total trust in Brent Jesse, who's opinion was that th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,I was just sharing with Mike Kay (Audio Archon) what magic I was hearing all day long with these Shuguag KT-88 tubes in the AricAudio SET amplifier driving the Ulf's. It dawned on me during our conversation the best way to explain what I... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey mac48025,Ezra had gotten these tubes about 5 to 7 years ago. I don't know if Shuguag still even makes this version. I'll try to find out. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,Just spent over four hours listening to the Ulfberht's being driven by the AricAudio SET KT-88 amplifier/Micro-ZOTL combo with one difference. I had being running a pair Tung-Sol KT-120 tubes with superlative results in my system. This... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Micheal,My remark meant no disrespect to you, or Allan, at all. My statement regarding other individual's systems being played to loud for my taste was not directed at you at all, but at others. Correct, the times I have had the pleasure to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Totally agree with Kenny's opinion/position on what happens as you go up in power/watts on the DI's, and the Ulf's, slight changes in bass presentation, nothing radical regarding over "aliveness" dynamics and clear differences in tonality/color de... |
