| 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... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Guys,I'm still waiting for my review pair of ULF's. Hope I'll get them in the next couple of weeks.I have a question for Jeffrey, unless he posted this before and I missed it, what amplifiers and source gear are you using to power your ULF's?... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Charlies,The 300B tubes I used in the Canary amps were Sophia Electric Mesh Plates which I like very much. When I was rolling 300B's at one time this tube and the even more expensive Royal Princess tube were my favorite. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi vitop,I wish I could be helpful, however I have never had a multi-channel amplifier in any of my systems which are two channel based not HT. Hopefully, someone else with that knowledge/experience on this thread could answer your question. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Jeffrey,The Carver amps were driven by the Concert Fidelity tube based reference, a great sounding piece, and the BHK's were driven by two excellent SS preamps and a very high level Purity tube based preamp. I don't know what you mean by "aliv... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello gentlemen,Have a field report on my experiences with two great SET amplifiers driving the DI's. However, I would want to comment on driving the Ulfbertht speaker with either the BK or Carver amplifiers. I preface this with that in our hobb... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey vitop,I have heard the DI's with Pass Labs XA-60.8's and an Accuphase P-450 with great results. I'm more of a tube fan and I still have not heard, and I have listened to supposedly some of the best, D amps, any that I would want to own. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey everybody,Just spent five hours listening to Canary Audio's reference SET 300B mono-blocks that are in for review on the DI's. Yes, these are brand new and need some hours of burn-in, yet they sounded quite superlative right out of the crate.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi grannyring,I'm glad you shared your recollection of the speaker in your past using a tweeter array that you totally enjoyed. It gives me the opportunity to clarify the misconception that the seven tweeters in the DI's are a type of line array ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hey Gentlemen,It was almost two years ago, after I reviewed Eric's OB Sigma speakers, that he shared his great excitement with me that he believed he had created/discovered a break through, which finally lead to the DI's, and I would be the first ... |
