| Tekton Double Impacts Order the special grill cloth from AcousTex offered by Tekton ($100). They are very superior and transmit 97% of the sound. Many people don't put grills on, but I had to for aesthetic reasons and keeping the cones safe from little kids. I called... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well, "Shoot me in the foot with a rubber band!!!" I had the dang speaker cables into the 8ohm output instead of the 4ohm. Um, yeah. I feel stupid now. The sound is amazing (unless it's the placebo effect, but I don't think it is) I'm pretty picky... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli the tubes are EL34. I did think about trying to roll a KT88 or 120. I'm unfamiliar with that so I didn't want to "push" the limits if there are any. According to reviews, I shouldn't have a problem rolling higher.I also thank those respo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've been listening to the DIs for about a week now. Grills came in just a few days after the speakers. Fit and finish were very nice on all. Heavy, watch those cones. I lifted mine with a neighbor using the ports front and back. Banana plugs were... | |
| Primaluna separates or Integrated? https://www.ohmite.com/wirewound/Get the Ohmite 12 watt Resistor and call PrimaLuna which I think will end up routing you through Kevin and he'll tell you how to connect them. It's really easy. I didn't end up getting the Triton Ones like I was go... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I just took the DI plunge. Upgrade model. To match our furniture, SW 6048Terra Brun, a nice rich warm brown. I am ordering two sets of grills, one conservative set of black by AcousTex with the 98% transmission fabric. I will be calling them tomor... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025 I PM'd you. Maybe I did it wrong. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts OMG! IS this the longest thread in Audiogon???? It took me forever to read it all. And wow, got some amazing ideas, tips and suggestions to aid me prior to ordering my DI's.First Question: Found on another thread "Grills" Cheap, etc, etc. (I'm g... | |
| Tekton custom grills I will be ordering my DI tomorrow. Have the color selected and ordering the grill cloth from Acoustex. On their site, they state that their cloth allows 98 percent of the sound transmission. If I have this correct, Tekton said that one option is ... | |
| Hifiman HE560 two points. What are you amplifying these with? Everything I researched suggested the 560’s need about 4 watts in order to sound right, requiring an amplified source. I am using the ifi Micro iDSD with all switches forward. My brother heard them a... | |
| Considering switching from Audio Research to PrimaLuna, troube with VS115 amp I have PrimaLuna AND Sony Hap-S1. That amp is Dead silent itself and with my ear an inch from any speaker. I am very happy with what I think is a fantastic sound from my system and I am still waiting on my Triton Ones to come in. That Sony is nice... | |
| I can't play a recording all the way through Lol, OP here. True. I'm a very young 60.True. I really really do love my music new and old.True. With this new system I am hearing the music "that I really really love" better than I've ever heard it before. True. I want to hear my entire collecti... | |
| I can't play a recording all the way through Hah, excellent point. I never took the time to separate my motives but you nailed it. | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? There's never enough money is there. So if you want amazing speaker cables on the cheap you could try what I did. I had a whole lot of used Cat5 cable (saw a good review of measured outputs of various cables) get six Cat5 cables for each speaker 2... | |
