Hey everyone, a general shout out of thanks and appreciation and gratitude to a quartet of very fine gentlemen in Chicagoland!
I was blessed to have @aolprodj (Allen) host me for the weekend and serve as my Tekton guide.
Allen has two primary 2Ch systems one built around Magnaplanar 3.7is and the other Tekton DI SEs... as well as a home theater system driven by Anthem components.
I was also able to meet with and enjoy and experience the following systems:
- TJ's @teajay dual systems anchored by the Tekton Ulfberth and Impact Monitor and the recently reviewed and truly wonderful Jays Audio CDT2-Mk2 Transport and Lab12 DAC1 SE.
- Ezra's @audioezra primary system comprising of the flagship Tekton Ulfberth BE and newly acquired Bricasti M28 monoblocks.
- Bon's @jayctoy 's multiple systems, one of which utilizes the Tekton Impact Monitors. The others were completed with EgglestonWorks Andras and Elac's baby monitors. He has many speakers and components, so we only touched the surface of all of his system combinations.
The best way for me to summarize my weekend is to fall back on my primary hobby: food.
This weekend was akin to visiting four unique and highly recommended restaurants whose chefs put together a tasting menu (utilizing similar ingredients and cooking methods, but not always).
Each meal and experience was wonderful and I'd hop on the plane and make the trip to Chicago to re-experience each one of their efforts, in a heartbeat!
Thank you very much Allen, TJ, Ezra, and Bon. Hope to repeat soon.
