| Tekton Double Impacts Hey evolvist,The Role speakers are great small floor-stander at producing low bass and sound-staging, however the DI's are in a different league overall. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey evolvist,Yes, Dave and his wife are wonderful people, indeed. Say hello to Dave for me.I have Dave's spectacular 300B integrated amplifier in-house for review and am enjoying the beauty its creating with the DI's. If one is looking for a 300... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Everybody,This morning my article entitled, WHAT'S SO IRRESISTIBLE ABOUT A SINGLE-ENDED TRIODE (SET) AMP, went up on the hometheaterreview.com website. This all came about because of being able to drive the DI's easily with this type of amplif... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Bill,Please do post your initial impressions to night, I'm quite curious to see if its as good as the reviewer claimed it to be. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts To all that own the LTA Micro-ZOTLMike Kay (Audio Archon) who is a dealer for both LTA and Tekton has just added to his stable of wonderful lines the gear the preamp of David Berning. Mr. Berning shared with Mike that you can safely replace the p... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Gentlemen,There's a new review on the website DAGOGO by Richard Austen regarding a new company's (KingKo Audio) KA-101 integrated amplifier that right now sells for whopping $830.00! It's a P/P 12 watt El-84 based design. It also has a built in ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi bullitt5094,This is my final attempt to try to explain to you why you owe to your self to at least hear a SET amp on the DI's.Klaus' amps are quite good, and great bargains for the money, however they do not compete sonicly, in my opinion, with... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi bullitt5094,I believe that anywhere from 5 to 10 watts driving the DI's would be fine in a HT LR Mains setup. My room has 30 foot ceilings, is 28 feet wide, and 40 feet in depth and I have no problem with volume levels or dynamics on all types... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi mac48025,A good guess would be around 60% to 70% of the Triode Labs amplifier. The Triode Labs takes the music to a higher level of finesse and does everything better across the board. However, the Cyber-30 ain't bad at all, actually it's qui... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kenny,Thanks for the compliment regarding my posts. I owned a First Watt SIT-2 and think it's a very special amp in its own right. It really needs to be driven by a great preamp because it is completely transparent/neutral/grainless and is tot... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey bullitt5094,First, I would highly recommend that you contact Mark or Will at Linear Tube Audio and ask how much the upgrade is to modify a Micro-ZOTL to have a HT-bypass installed. The cost of this piece is around $1,700.00. Nothing and I me... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Charlies,Yes, you are correct that the way my reference system is now setup, either a CEC or MBL transport, Concert Fidelity hybrid tube DAC, Micro-ZOTL used as a line stage, and the Triode Labs SET 2A3s-MK2 amp driving the DI's is the most enj... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi everybody,I have now rolled three SET 300B amplifiers with some of the best NOS tubes available, along with the Triode Lab 2A3s-MK2, and have come to the conclusion, based of course on my personal preferences, that I have heard nothing better o... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The best SS amps I have heard on the DI's have been Pass Labs XA-60.8 mono-blocks, Accuphase P-450 (this was my favorite driven by the Micro-ZOTL), First Watt SIT-2, and Perla Audio's Sig-50. All of these are wonderful SS amps which present somew... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi David Ten,It's been my experience that a great sound-staging speaker, if driven by the right electronics and it has enough acoustic space to breath, gives the listener different spatial dimensions accurately based on how and where the recording... |
