| Tekton Double Impacts Just a quick update for anyone who may be interested. I ordered the Double Impacts exactly two weeks ago today in charcoal gray with the upgrade package, and they shipped yesterday and will arrive on Monday. Needless to say, I am delighted with th... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? My two cents...You want system balance. Regardless of how good the speakers are, they are only going to sound as good as the rest of your system permits. You might be better off getting some Tektons a bit lower in the food chain and using the bal... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Facten,Yes, I sure did. I thought the cost of the upgrade made it well worth trying.It is true that the Daedalus speakers are just beautiful to look at, as well as to listen through. I am at place in my life--with two children bearing down on coll... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Hi Charles,I just couldn't resist trying the DI speakers, as much as I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy my Ulysses speakers. I'm sort of playing a hunch, I guess. I have some time off on the horizon, so this is an ideal time for me to audition n... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Paul,I have the LM 508 integrated and will very soon be auditioning the Double Impact speakers. I'll report back with some impressions once I take delivery. I ordered them last Wednesday, and Eric said then it would only take "a few days" to make ... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? I had the VAC 70/70 Renaissance (not the signature version) Mk III for several years, and it is an outstanding amp with that classic to-die-for VAC mid-range. After an ill-advised system overhaul, I started over--again--and ended up getting the Li... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! @tommylion -- As I said previously, the CT Graphenes are very good interconnects and I could have lived happily with them---until I heard the Teo Game Changers, which just give a much clearer picture of the music than I have experienced with any o... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I have found no speaker cables or power cords that I prefer to the Cerious Graphene CTs, but the Teo Game Changers are really unlike any interconnect I have tried in my system. With that said, the Cerious interconnects are tremendous--it's just th... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! All tubes here. Tube integrated, tube dac, tube phono stage. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Wig,Having lived for a time with the Cerious Graphene interconnects, power cords, and speaker cables, this is my take in a nutshell:The interconnects are very good.The power cables are extremely good.The speaker cables are a knockout.I could have ... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! @1markr Hey Mark! Fancy running into you here! You raise a great question, but since I am now running an integrated, the issue for me will be whether the Teos make as profound a difference with my analog rig as they do with my DAC. I will report b... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Fantastic explanation, Wig! All I can say is that what you expressed is consistent with my experience. I never realized how much I was "hearing" my previous cables (too many to name) until I tried the Teo cables, which completely changed my paradi... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio I would ask for a full refund, including shipping costs. It is very good of you to try to make the best of this, but why should you have to bear the burden of this headache when you clearly did not get what you paid for?Short of a full refund, if ... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! As a matter of fact, I received the Teo cables two days ago and have been trying to pin down my impressions. Ken says that the cables will continue to break in for another 80-90 hours or so before they reach their full potential, but I will say th... | |
| Help choosing integrated As a longtime believer that separates were the only way to go to achieve maximum sound, I must say that the Line Magnetic 508ia completely changed my way of thinking, if you are open to tubes.Not only does this integrated make beautiful music, but... |
