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?...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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....

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 ...

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 ...

Hey mac48025,I'm laughing because you ordered  some of the best sounding 6SN7's that were every created!  I will be very curious what you think about the TungSols (are they the black glass 40's tube) which are my favorite in the Micro-ZOTL.  If yo...

Hey facton,Here's the answers to your questions:1) I use MG silver ribbon IC's2) I have had numerous preamps that use 6SN7 tubes, and have a large collection of NOS 6SN7, and none of them sound anything like the LTA Micro-ZOTL, so its the tubes pl...

Hey Kenny,As I stated in my response to Charlies, either as a pure listener or as reviewer I'm not a great fan of single driver or horn designs that usually are the partners for 45 or 2A3 based SET amplifiers.  Therefore, I had a lot of different ...

Hey Charles,I have had many discussions with listeners regarding which gives most of the magic of David Berning's ZOTL circuit, the 40 watt amplifier or the Micro-ZOTL line-stage.  After trying the Micro-ZOTL with all kinds of  solid state and tub...

Hey Guys,After many hours of listening I have come to the conclusion that my favorite combo, on all types of music, of course through the DI's, is the LTA MIcro-ZOTL and the Triode Lab 2A3 SET amplifier.  As I have have shared before the Micro-ZOT...

Hi mac48925 and CharliesThe unit I'm reviewing is the one that still is up with a picture in tube amps for sale here on the GON.  I guess it is somewhat of an unique model because of the James transformers and how they setup the 6NS7 tube section....
