Still looking for a DAC I can demo at home. . .
I have both the Yggy and the Directstream dacs. The Yggy has been a great dac for two years now, while the Directstream lasted only a few days. Both are very resolving, but the DS had a harsh glare to it that made my ears hurt. The Yggy is nice an... 
Any Tekton (DI) installations in Tampa?
These are 4ohm. I am in Temple Terrace not far from 56th street. 
Any Tekton (DI) installations in Tampa?
I had the DI's from January until the Ulfberhts arrived in June. The DI's are the sweet spot in Tekton's lineup, most bang for your buck. They easily beat the Legacy Focus speakers I had before, and were better than the Thiel speakers I had heard ... 
CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area
The only good audio repair place in Tampa that I know of is Pro Audio. They handle lots of old tube gear, and are usually pretty easy to deal with. 
Any Tekton (DI) installations in Tampa?
I moved on to the Ulfberhts, which are amazing speakers.The DI's are quite heavy and would be hard to move to where my amps are. 
Any Tekton (DI) installations in Tampa?
I have the DI's for sale, and am in Tampa. I don't currently have them hooked up, though. 
The Levinson Sound?
Would a Levinson 20.5 amp that's been recapped be worth consideration? Do they produce high current into low impedance speakers? 
Woo Audio - Best headphone amps ever?
Sad to see Cavalli go, they made excellent headphone amps. I am trying an Apex Teton amp out now and it is phenomenal with the Focal Utopia 'phones. It may even beat the Stellaris. 
The Levinson Sound?
How do the 500-series compare to the older amps? I see some 532's up for sale every now-and-then. 
The Levinson Sound?
Do the Levinson amps pair well with tube preamps? 
The Levinson Sound?
I've often heard that Levinson's amps have a "dark" sound to them. What does this mean? I see the 33 and 33H's come up for sale from time to time and wondered if they are as good as folks let on. They are out of my price-range but I am curious abo... 
The Levinson Sound?
I am interested in the 300-series amps. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Update on grills for you folks still waiting: they are shipping now. Just heard from Tekton. 
Tekton Double Impacts
I've been trying a Rockna Wavedream dac for the last few days. This thing is all kinds of awesome. It totally obliterates the Yggdrasil and Directstream dacs I had been using. Super high resolution and not a trace of digital glare. Nice natural, o... 
Woo Audio - Best headphone amps ever?
Erik, I like the USN CEP 6922 tubes the best with headphone amps. They pop-up on Ebay occasionally. If you want something a bit more interesting, and less expensive, get some adapters and use 6F8G tubes in the Cavalli. They are quite a treat, thou...
