| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo It's tempting for me, too. My only hesitation is that I tried this same route a few years ago with a Devialet, only to discover that I really missed having tubes in my system. Then again, Bill (grannyring) and others who have heard the D... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo Congrats on jumping on the Lyngdorf. Since I am a few weeks behind you and olesno in getting my Encores, I will be paying rapt attention to your impressions of the Lyngdorf/Encore pairing. @olesno I hear you regarding the introduction of... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Charles, the Lyngdorf fan club is growing by leaps and bounds, it appears. I spent some time reading in the archives today and could barely find a negative word about it. Very impressive testimonials abound. Moreover, it would be a gr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks so much for that, Al. As always, you're an invaluable resource. I would imagine if I liked the Lyngdorf, I would sell the Atlantic, but the Allnic phono stage is something else altogether. I will certainly contact Lyngdorf to get more speci... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grey9hound I couldn’t help myself. The Ulfs are just too big for our living room, but when Eric unveiled the Encores, I knew I would eventually have to try them! The truth is, I could have lived long term with either the Double Impacts or the SEs... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @olesno Needless to say, I will be one very interested observer of how the Lyngdorf TDAI 3400 sounds with your new Tekton Encores. Speaking of which, did they ship yesterday as expected? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @david_ten thanks so much, David. It will be great fun to see how they sound in a few different systems, now that olesno and I will soon be getting them.@olesno You must be thrilled! Please keep us posted on any developments. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... @eldonparet Since you said it, why not elaborate? Which Tekton speakers have you have heard, and in what way were the lower-priced Salks better? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks for chiming in, John. I would bet that the Encores will sound incredible with the Lyngdorf, which seems to get nearly universal acclaim from everyone who has heard it, including some audiophiles whose ears I trust. I look forward to your im... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks, jcarcopo. I'll look forward to his posts, especially since he also had the SE's. I will keep an eye on the FB page as well. Much obliged! | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Thanks, gentlemen. I’ve been excited about these since Eric first developed them. Kudos to jcarcopo for taking the plunge right away and confirming that these are as special as they appear to be.Has anyone else received their Encores yet? Eric tol... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I placed my order for the Encores yesterday morning. A big thanks to jcarcopo for generating this plan and for his trailblazing commentary on this speaker. Based on my experiences with the Double Impacts and Double Impact SEs, I have no doubt that... | |
| blue jeans cable? But such details don't seem to matter when it comes to audiophiles who hold their own perception as inviolable and indisputable. Whose perception should we defer to when making choices about our systems, if not our subjective perception of what ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition.... I had the DIs and have since upgraded to the DI SEs, but I do not yet have a fully informed assessment of the differences because my SEs are still going through the break in process.Based on what I have heard so far, I think what you get with the ... | |
| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube @slaw3 After doing a lot of reading on the excellent and very informative discussion on the Steve Hoffman website regarding tube rolling in the LM 508, I tried the EML XLS 300B tubes, which are excellent and definitely a step up from the stock tub... |
