| speaker cable prices I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Duelund DCA 16 or 12 gauge. $10 or $20 a meter. Replaced the classic Western Electric in my system. In the right system my opinion is they would compete with wire at any price. LP | |
| Buying tubes...do they vary??? +1 for Andy at Vintage Tube Services. He's probably one of the best in the business. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @danoroo Yikes!!! You feel Tekton needs to add more models? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @csmgolf ,Thanks for detailing what your in home audition would consist of. It would take considerable effort for the audition process. Clearly something to avoid if the D.I.'s would not match your taste.I also believe with Tekton being a smaller ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In addition to everything that has been stated, arrangements can also be made for in home pick up in the event the speakers are to be returned to Tekton.There is an old saying "you can't please all the people all the time." LP | |
| Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7? I tried Acme, AMR, and Synergistic Black albeit in different components. The biggest improvement along with the most organic sounding to me was the AMR. About 3 years ago they cost me I believe $20 each.Good Luck LP | |
| Be Careful! @kijanki I did ask Dennis Had who built my Inspire amp and he doesn't understand what happened. That made someone like me with sooo little tech knowledge even more paranoid.I also talked to Andy from Vintage Tubes when I was ordering new tubes for... | |
| Be Careful! About a month ago with almost brand new speakers, and a new tube amp I turned up the volume on my line stage and was startled by a loud snap or pop. It was dark and I might have touched the chassis but I'm just not sure. I turned down the volume, ... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Entire Led Zeppelin 1, and Return of the Giant Hogweed off Genesis Live. That keyboard finale has to be cranked up!!! LP | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I've had both with my D.I.'s being I believe the most current version.I would describe the 2 models performance as very similar with the D.I.s having a deeper bass response, although I doubt most would deem the Electrons to be lacking in that dep... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA @grannyring Bill, Is it your experience that the 12 gauge Duelund offers similar warmth, weight, and body of the WE, along with more air, and high frequency bloom?BTW, thanks for the tip on the Neotech connectors. LP | |
| Duelund DCA16GA I've been using the WE 16 gauge for a couple of years. I've recently added Tekton D.I.'s and a Had Inspire 7 watt SEP amp. Feeling I needed some more high frequency bloom, I purchased the DCA 16 and after about 34 hours of use it is a little more ... | |
| power cables where do I start? BTW, I've had good luck with Triode Wire Labs for the rest of my system. Good value especially used. LP | |
| power cables where do I start? @sbrownnw Similar story here. Bought Signal cable digital, and a magic power. Like the digital on the source, and did not like the magic on my SS amp at all.It just sits in a closet. Never thought that it might work well in a different location. W... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts IMHO, David Ten and Grannyring both offer significant value to this forum. I for one find it difficult to follow along on too many threads seeking needed information. Most of the tech heavy information I read about I will probably not be able to i... |
