| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Wise advise, I am certain jond. Thanks. | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @david-ten I run Dirac Live to clean up the anomalies you mentioned. Also, looking the specs of most tube power amps it seems the S/N ratio isn't nearly as good as SS amps. The THD numbers aren't as good either with 1% at full power not uncomm... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @ charles1dadThis 845 SET amp can be driven by my Emotiva XSP-1 SS preamp? The reason I want to use that preamp is because of it's bass management capabilities. I would like to drive the Tekton Enzo 2.7s with a capable tube power amp while conne... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @jond Actually I'm currently using a pair of Tekton loudspeakers rated at 98db sensitivity.But, I like to play the music loud sometimes. Will the 22W amps you linked to accomplish that? I'm using a 200W SS amp now. | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @charles1dad I would like to keep the price around $1500. Maybe $2000 if I could find a bargain at that price. What is tube biasing and is it something I have to do regularly? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Thanks wolf. Are there any tube amp idiosyncrasies I need to be aware of since this will be my 1st foray into this topology? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? OK. Putting all the excellent theoretical knowledge displayed in this thread to practical use, can you guys recommend some good 100W+ stereo tube amps to pair with an Emotiva XSP-1 preamp? | |
| Room Response @shadorne I have wrecked many a loudspeaker and tube filament in exactly this manner. To all reading this thread......proceed with caution! | |

I found oxygen free copper for the esl and silver for the bass to be the best of both worlds. The other way around is too clinical for the esl mids highs and a bit soft/ri... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? What is reality? Is reality a concept that is individualized? Is reality different things to different people? You bet it is. 150 years ago there were many people "cured" by the likes of Dr. John's Miracle Elixir. To be cured though, required... | |

| Speaker/ Room Measurement and DSP You can't go wrong with the Dirac Live. I do not have minidsp, but I do have Dirac Live on my computer server. Not only will it do a great job taming the bumps and suck outs across the audio band, it will phase align every driver in your system.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Can someone explain how the tweeter configuration in Tekton speakers works? When I put my ear close to each tweeter it's hard to tell whether or not there is sound emanating from that particular driver as they are so close to the other tweeters. ... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I have used the 2.7s with and without subs and have come to the conclusion in my smallish room they are not needed. I have the speakers positioned on a long wall with about 2' between the wall and the front baffle in a 16 x 12 room that opens to ... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @sbayne Having listened to the 2.7s about three weeks now, their characteristics are becoming evident. But, before I get to how the speakers sound I want to mention a couple of things that happened after I got the Enzo 2.7s. The first afternoon... |
