| PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass" The PerfectWave firmware is not upgradeable. If you upgraded the PerfectWave to a DirectStream (there was a kit for that at one time), then yes, the update would already be compatible. | |
| PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass" Ha! To my ears, he DirectStream with Redcloud is better than the T+A Dac 8 DSD. And Snowmass is a ste up. Then again, for PCM, I like the latest Schiit Audio Yggdrasil better than the T+A Dac 8 DSD... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? @grannyring I am using the Duelund DCA16GA wire as speaker (Double Impact) wire and the Duelund DCA20GA wire for interconnects. I prefer the 20GA for interconnects. The sound is a little more open and it works well with my 6SN7 tube preamp and KT8... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Nice list of amps! The Kooteney 120 uses KT88 tubes. I am not sure why Don calls it a 120. That is one nice integrated amp! I could afford the price of admission but don't think I would ever spend that much on a piece of audio equipment. I am at a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @david_ten Thanks! Yes, I thought about buying the sTi7 DSP version but I don't need the horsepower. At least not yet! I wouldn't have bridged the Ethernet anyway as I like to keep the Roon core in another room separate from my audio system. My sw... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have not posted or even read this thread in a long time. I am glad to see it survived that period of strong "negative Nancy-ism". It sure is interesting to see the new products from Tekton and how they are being received.Anyway, I am now using t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 16 to 20 weeks????? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I am looking at this amp:http://www.dsachsconsulting.com/custom%20kt88%20tube%20amp.htmlI already have his line stage coming! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts When I was a kid, my dad would take me out to the Mojave desert to ride dirt bikes with a bunch of his police cronies and their kids. McQueen was a frequent rider in with the group. I didn't know he was famous until years later when I saw him in a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring How much better are the Eminence Beta 10a woofers and Eminence Beta 6a 6.5 inch midrange drivers compared to the stock drivers? I guess I asking if replacing them as a first step is worthwhile at all or doing you need all the other mod... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Really? I tried the ML Electromotion ESL's and they sounded almost dead compared to the DI's. The difference in sound quality was massive. I listen to 60's/70's/80's classic rock and a lot of Classical with some Jazz mixed in.I wonder if it is the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts In other words, he is just guessing and has no measurements to go by.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring Maybe another thread should be started, but what parts would you recommend specifically to upgrade the $3300 DI speakers?What is the part number for the better woofer drivers?If you prefer, we can take this offline... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts John Atkinson writes reviews and summarizes test results based on advertiser dollars. Stereophile is a shell of what it once was.The rest of your text is just as senseless.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Depending on the gain of your preamp and amp, I still think the DI’s need close to 30 watts of quality power to sound their best. A friend brought over a First Watt SIT-2 to try with my speakers. It sounded great at lower volume levels but my Pion... |
