| Best Drum Solos I have thoroughly enjoyed making playlists from these suggestions. I'll add a few of my own.I see Ginger Baker is somewhat controversial but I didn't see these so I'll list them. I really like his work with Charlie Haden and Bill Frisell. I gue... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten I have already picked my color in the event it ever happens. There is a post on the Tekton FB page of a DI in a color called spanish tile. The nicest I have seen yet. Not sure if it is an automotive color or an upcharge color, but he... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. My daughter is going to college in Chicago and I hope to stop by Audio Archon and listen. Hopefully this fall. There is a St. Louis audio club on Audio Circle. I might check it out. | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. @mofojo Suprised to hear the bass was better in the DI. Don't know how Eric does that. TV is not that important for me. Mostly watched while exercising.@david_ten PM coming your way. The GE Reference is out of my quasi-approved budget authoriz... | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. @david_ten can you provide your thoughts on the DI vs Triton 1s? I auditioned the Triton 1s a couple days ago at the dealer and was very impressed. Blue Moon by the Cowboy Junkies blew me away. I am considering one of these for my next speaker. | |
| Duelund DCA16GA @grannyring thanks for the info | |
| Duelund DCA16GA Just pulled the trigger on 12 meters of DCA16GA. Hoping it's a big improvement over my AQ Type 4. Good price but very bizarre ordering process.Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that the wire should first be cleaned to remove any oils. Would r... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I too hve been concerned about the price going up and hopefully this thread hasn't given him the idea to act sooner rather than later. :) If you go about 9 or 10 posts down on the Tekton Facebook page, there is a post with two pics of the DIs. A... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Looks like Orem Utah is on the west side of the continental divide. If the cones are so sensitive that a vacuum can remove the dent then maybe the pressure change during transit across the divide is enough. Think of that shampoo bottle after a f... | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 It's not in my budget to upgrade my RCAs now. This seems to be hard theory to prove. The pre could also be playing a role in the SQ difference. | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 I could but I'm not sure that will tell me much. The XLRs are better quality than the RCAs anyway, so it may jut be a comparison of the cables. | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 @milpai I'm using an XLR currently with the 851N. I don't think the A21 is fully balanced, at least I think I read that here somewhere. I have also read that it depends on the pre. I don't think CJ even has a balanced pre but they certainly mak... | |
| Tips on dealing with audio dealers Always ask for a discount. I just picked up a Parasound Halo integrated new and was given 20% off retail. Only a few hundred more than the used market. | |
| Preamp for Halo A21 and/or B&K ST2140 I give up. Just can't afford to maintain two systems. I purchased a Halo integrated and moved the 851N / A21 combo to the basement. I think the integrated sounds better. The wife is happy too. So my upgrade sequence now changes to a sub for the ba... | |
| Help selecting integrated amp for ls50 What @zuio said - get the active LS50s. The reviews are fantastic and no amp to buy. The main drawback is there is only one digital input. So no CD and Tidal. You have to pick. TV would be on RCA. If that’s not an issue then active is the way to g... |
