| Tekton Double Impacts Posting on SPLs to make the point about how enjoyable I find the DIs, in this case the SEs, to be at lower playback volumes. And because it raises some questions regarding levels at which we (any one of us) listen to our music. Listening to Sarast... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts If one isn't listening to the Pipe Organ or Movies with an excess of LFE or music that consistently goes below, lets say 30Hz, would those of you using subs with your DIs still recommend them? If so, what will they bring to the show, so to speak? ... | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? @eternalcamper will I hear any difference if I upgrade my R & L front channels to the Reference from my Ones?Yes you will. Being predictive, since it is the end of the year...you will also love the differences. : ) | |
| Chord signature reference versus Audience SX speaker cables I don't have direct experience with Chord's speaker cables.I do have the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables and am very happy with them. I'd expect them to do well in your system. If you are US based, you can demo them via The Cable Company's Lending... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 I'm very happy with my Pass XP-20Take a look at Backert Labs. Their previous flagship, the Rhythm 1.1 for 6K and their current Rhumba Extreme for 5.5K. | |
| A litlle help for choice of speakers up to €5500 (used or new) @lcarpediem That's a very healthy proportioned room for audio performance (5m by 7m is roughly 16ft by 23ft, for us non-metric types). I'm assuming the speakers are setup with the shorter wall behind them(?). The fact that you can have your spe... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... A general update. The Tekton Design SEs have three weeks on them. I’ve had the Yggy (Gen 3 USB) and the Yggy (Gen 5 USB) in system, for two of the three weeks and the Terminator went back in-system two days ago.I prefer having some more time on th... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @danasam Terrific write-up and story. Thanks for sharing your take on the Ares and then the Pontus. I'm looking forward to learning about your full impressions with the Pontus, once it is broken in...and perhaps a comparison of what it brings to ... | |
| A litlle help for choice of speakers up to €5500 (used or new) Miguel, a Merry Christmas to you. What types of music do you listen to? What are your room dimensions and layout and speaker placement options? | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Charles. I'm pretty sure these apps are using the A scale. But none of them specify. Their 'metrics' provided for comparison fit that scale. Neither offer the option to switch. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts All the talk of listening levels, piqued my curiosity....This is non-calibrated, via an App. 'The Wanderings of the Avener' by The Avener I'm listening to this Lounge/House music right now and am averaging 76dB with 87dB max levels. This is about... | |
| what to buy first Is there a component you desire and have been wishing/lusting for?I'd start there. | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? @uberwaltz I can see why you would like a built-in DAC module and having one makes perfect sense.AND ESPECIALLY since this is for a secondary system.I would go ahead with the ML 585...it checks off on all of your needs. At some point, I think it ... |
