| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? @aewarren I remember SpeakerLab. And I remember as a teen the pair of DAS6 that me and a friend moved out of my pops shop and back to the apt to set up in my room. He was not happy at first but never took them back or really said much about them. ... | |
| Does Age Matter? Eh, I don't think age matters. I've encountered as many analog lovers as there are digital and then those who DGAF and switch between both as necessary regardless of age. I don't think the format matters. Digital done well will sound better tha... | |
| Tekton Electron SE Snapsc,Since you have experience with both, what was the Tekton model and what is the Salk model that you use(d), and how did they differ in terms of sonic characteristics? | |
| Can speakers cause mental illness? This is so weird, but no, absolutely no, audio equipment, speakers in general being the cause of mental illness? No. People obsess over many things, speakers and audio probably at a much lower rank than other obsessions. Automotive would probab... | |
| Tekton Electron SE I think "hater" is targeted at some very specific types of comments. I haven't seen where someone went off the rails because someone said they didn't like Tektons. I think it's the more to do with the uninformed comments that border on ignorance... | |
| Tekton Electron SE RE: ...$30K...You'll find this with just about everything. Dude with expensive, sometimes hideously expensive item questions the validity/effectiveness/worthiness of the cheaper but well made purpose built item. It can't possibly be in the same ... | |
| Tekton Electron SE Happy Moab owner here who wishes he went for the automotive finish, but settled for a regular custom color which came out beautifully. I love these things, and before I properly placed them in the room the potential of these speakers were clear. ... | |
| Sparko Labs Discrete Op-Amps... @oldhvymec, They put a good linear PS in the DAC, but yeah, I read the specs for the Sparkos and they seemed pretty demanding. Oh and for installation? You bet I triple checked, meaning while walking back to the rack after checking twice I doubled... | |
| Excellent Power Supply Solution For reasons stated earlier in the thread, I don't buy into linear PSU for a router/networking device. I do for anything outputting audible analog signals. Being lazy at one point I had a power strip with all SMPS for various things plugged into ... | |
| Sparko Labs Discrete Op-Amps... I just ordered a set for my Topping DX7 Pro DAC. I can't wait, I've been reading nothing but good things about the ss3602 op amp. | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? I say try it out and see how it sounds to you. If the volume control in the component (doesn't matter what it is) is at fault you should hear it as some difference/degradation in sound quality. I don't think it needs to be more complicated than ... | |
| Any JPlay users out there? Ugh, hit the back button and lost a long ass post. FK. Anyway... I just came across this yesterday. No crashes so far, easy install, noticed improvements right out the gate. Bass more defined for sure, soundstage maybe a tad better, imaging h... | |
| Mahavishnu fans only Well, I was going to just eavesdrop because " Mahavishnu fans only", but this short thread got me interested so I headed straight for Amazon Music. Since The Inner Mountain is supposedly their more raw album I figured I'd start with that. First... | |
| Too good a post to waste To the OP, yup, I remember those magazines, reading them constantly as a kid (I'm 44 now). Good times.Does anyone know of a comprehensive study done where decent selection of people were gathered, their hearing tested, not just with music but gau... | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers My "room" is completely untreated and has lots of noise provided by my sub zero fridge and freezer units. Sup folks,I’m surprised respondents in this thread hasn’t jumped all over this part. I’ve been using Magnepan MMGs as my mains for the past ... |
