| Phono cartridge @deadhead1000 Excellent advice. | |
| ATC and Loki Avoiding questions asked by posing other questions is typical on these forums. | |
| ATC and Loki BTW, another equalization option is a very good sounding 6SN7 based line stage with useful equalization, especially in the bass region and fun spatial controls both of which can be bypassed. Black Ice Audio Fusion F360. They also offer these circu... | |
| ATC and Loki Who are they? Which ones have you auditioned, set up and powered properly?Exaggerated bass at any volume, which will compromise sound quality at higher volumes, is not the solution.For those that can not or will not solve the problem properly, I w... | |
| New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier I agree with your plan completely. The only reason I don't own a No. 16 amp is because I can't lift it. Oh, and I don't have an amp stand big enough but that's easily solved.Happy listening. | |

| What process did you use to integrate multiple subwoofers for 2 channel listening? Jim Smith's Get Better Sound book has a good chapter on setting subwoofers for stereo music reproduction. He mentions some things I haven't seen mentioned in this thread.https://www.getbettersound.com/ | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers Mapman, 100% correct. | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers Exactly. I used to do the same thing when I was an engineer; add 20% - 30% to a project completion estimate. The other engineers would be aggressive with their estimates, at the actual time estimated or even less, in a misguided attempt to impress... | |
| Actual Lead Time on Tekton Speakers Many high end companies are dealing with unprecedented demand coupled with component and logistic nightmares. For some it's getting critical parts, for others it's labor. One well known US company has plenty of product but is having trouble sourci... |
