Tekton Double Impacts

Bullitt,

yeah, they take a while to fully break in but after about a hundred hours they start sounding very good. That first hundred hours can be quite interesting as the sound wanders all over the place. You're going to have a very impressive sounding system, the wait will be worth it. 

Yep. I asked Klaus if I should just put some music on and close the door for about a month. He said "NO! It is a wonderful experience and you don't want to miss any of it!". I think he is really into his hobby/business and I love to see the passion. On the other hand, I am old. I don't want to die before my amp breaks in either.
buds, it's good to know the new power overshadowed the Denon. I keep thinking, could it really get a lot better than this? Because it sounds pretty great right now.
All, if I got this thread off-track to amps, I apologize. But the amp dialog has  really been a help to me. Thanks!

Bullitt, while the description of the Candela states "low output impedance," it also states "output impedance <2Kohm." If the impedance is in fact close to 2000 ohms, that is much higher than I had suggested earlier would be optimal for use with most interconnect cable types at a 50 foot length.

If the output impedance is in fact not much less than 2000 ohms, and if the length would be around 50 feet as you indicated earlier, what I would suggest (even if you use a balanced run via a Jensen transformer) would be a cable having capacitance of no more than 15 pf per foot for the 50 foot run, and preferably less. Otherwise perceptible rolloff and/or undesirable phase shifts are likely to occur in the upper treble region.

Blue Jeans LC-1 (12.2 pf/foot) meets that criterion in unbalanced form, but as we’ve said earlier an unbalanced run of that length stands a good chance of having other problems. Off the top of my head, however, I don’t recall any balanced cables having similarly low capacitance that sell for similarly modest prices.

Good luck. Regards,

Hi I'm Lance and I'm an audiophilaholic. My Orange DI's came in today. They sound pretty good right out of the box and from what I've read they will get better with some breakin. I have a feeling like some others have mentioned, these speakers are very sensitive to the gear upstream. I have a new Modwright Oppo UDP205 and a Benchmark AHB2 driving them and it's already spectacular.

After a some breakin time I will adjust speaker placement for best results and then a little Tube rolling perhaps. I just put a picture of them on my system page.

@lancelock  Thanks for sharing the photo of your new setup. Very nice. I imagine the Modded 205 with the Benchmark is going to be a great combination to drive the DIs.
