Tekton Double Impacts
LOL, the sedentary time this hobby generates has to balanced somehow. Good for you Corelli, for me it's the treadmill.@mac Makes sense the footers would transfer less vibration when under less compression, hence the benefit for the larger Gaia I's... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes, more confirmation that these feet might really be worth it. The non-SE owners should be ok saving some money on the GAIA II 120 lb limit (14 lb margin) for the standard DI's. Thanks for the report 
Pass Labs XA30.5 -> Line Magnetic 508ia?
Another plug for Taylor at Goldprint. He helped me out validating my unit without a sale on the table. Great guy.

Another vote for the LM508. Purchased used and certainly have been impressed. This amps digs deep especially with Psvane 805 T/2 tubes.  Instruments and vocals have presence in true SET amp fashion. I'll be happy to stay put.

Thanks guys. The NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and the Psvane 805's made a significant improvement. Some Gaia isolation footers and pucks ought to tighten up bass and kick drums. Percussive jazz like The Bad Plus really grooves with the extra power.

Thanks guys. I've got a NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and Psvane 805 T/2's which made a nice improvement. Listening to The Bad Plus has me thinking of Gaia isolation footers and pucks to clear up that stand up bass and kick drum even more. Love tho...

My 2 channel upgrades are nearly complete. This thread proved to be a valuable tool in selecting amps and convinced me to buy speakers without an audition. Thanks to all for your contributions.The DI's with upgrades have 60 hrs of run time and are... 
Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals
I've got the LM508IA and it sounds fabulous with the Tekton DI speakers. Audio memories are fleeting but what I heard from O/96 speakers didn't seem so much better. My DI set up allbeit with room correction is good enough that upgrades are no long... 
Best Rock Drummers
When it comes to metal, I prefer thrash. Sure, Dave Lombardo of Slayer is one of the best, but give Tom Hunting from Exodus try. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
I've got the DI's and agree with the Charles, Tom and Bill. The Raven Blackhawk tube integrated provided plenty of sparkle, vocals were amazingly textured, palpable. The bass hasn't fully broken in so hard to say. I can imagine that an AMT provide...

When I saw my DI order go out lightning fast, I knew there was a mix up. Called and Eric picked up. Problem solved. We'll see how how the grills go. Bill - awesome job, I can almost smell the solder. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Well what do know, I stand corrected. Room corrected that is. This time it's the Double Impacts and a Raven Blackhawk integrated with a Live Dirac PC. Still sounds much better corrected. The comparision will be much more meaningful with the bass t...

@greg22lz Thanks for the desricption of the Cerious speaker cables and DI's. I'm thinking TEO game changers for the IC's. I'd love to hear your setup next time I pass through the area.@aniwolfe Totally in your camp on the needing electric and st...

evolvist -  30-100Hz is going to be the tough nut. The rest looks straight forward although I should pick up that "Get Better Sound" book just to be safe. From the reading I've done, conventional air velocity traps aren't nearly as effective as di... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Mac, So true about having a room all to yourself. I can already imagine my wife's response to the room treatments. Once the DI's arrive and treatments are placed, I'll check in with the results.
