| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @olesno Eventually, we may all have exactly the same systems, LOL. It appears you and I are pretty close to being there already. I must say that I am enjoying my vinyl far more than I expected to through the conversion process of the HQ analog inp... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? I would recommend looking into a Lyngdorf 2170. Or if you like that tube magic, one of the Line Magnetic integrated amps. I have the LM 508ia, which is amazing, with 48 watts of SET power. I love this amp, but may end up replacing it with a Lyngdo... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? What is your budget? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @lancelock I ordered the Matrix speaker cables, as well as a Matrix gold power cord to try on my Lyngdorf 3400. They will ship on Monday, so maybe by this time next week, I will have a good taste of what the Matrix can do for my system.Thanks for ... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks for the heads-up, teajay.I am not surprised at all by the enthusiasm of this review. In fact, I would say it is an echo of the reaction we have all had since receiving them. They are a much bigger step up from the SEs than the SEs are over ... | |
| Speaker recommendation Also, I just saw a pair of upgraded Tekton Double Impacts for about half of your stated budget. And they are close to brand new. It's not my ad nor do I know the seller, but I had the upgraded Double Impacts and thought they were excellent. Yes, t... | |
| Speaker recommendation I haven't looked to be sure, but my guess is the Crutchfield price is per speaker, rather than for the pair. | |
| Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option @mikld For one thing, my system is in my living room and my wife vetoed them based on looks alone. I thought they looked cool, but she thought they looked like a cross between a giant domino and a varnished duck.I had them for a few weeks and thou... | |
| Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option I have owned the PAP Horn1s and currently have the Tekton Encores. Both are truly excellent speakers. I know it's an old audio cliche, but these speakers have very different strengths. Your preference may well depend not only on your taste in musi... | |
| Integrated tube amp to drive Thiel CS2's Line Magnetic 508ia would be perfect for your speakers. 48 watts of SET bliss. | |
| I am a "Moron" This feels like a troll post to me. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @olesno Yeah, they are pricey, and so is the Audioquest Hurricane AC cable. What I tell myself--my rationalization--is that because I am eliminating the need for some cables in my system with the 3400, I can "reinvest" in a better power cord and b... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Los Lobos is a good choice. Great live band, too. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I also use the Cerious Graphene Extreme speaker cables on my Encores and find that they sound terrific. However, I have not tried anything else. I am also using a Cerious Graphene Extreme power cord (blue) on the Lyngdorf, though I may experiment ... | |
| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube @plga Thanks for responding, Pedro. I appreciate your thoughtful input on my thread.I hope you enjoy your 508 for a long time to come! |
