| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" When the big Tekron thread first appeared, I pointed out Tektons past practices and was slammed by the fanboys and I am sure my posts have been removed. He apparently had a family crisis at the time which seemed awful but a personal crisis does n... | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks Erik, TI has quite a bit of info on their website with plots for the whole chip family. Interesting threads about tpa3251/tpa3255 on diyaudio as well. The TI module is plug and play essentially and the sound is refined with some serious low end ... | |
| How to DIY yourself very nice Class D monoblocks My TI tpa3255 evaluation board is the best solid state amp I have ever had. My references for ss amps are mid-level pieces I have owned such as Belles 150a, Bryston 4BST, B&K, Aragon 8002, NAD units and such. | |

| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I got the impression that the DD technology has improved in recent years. DD was always superior to belt drive. If you love the Rega arms (I do), you can always mount one on a Technics or Denon deck and kick it up a notch. | |
