Tekton Double Impacts

snopro,

Very nice system with some outstanding gear.

I wonder if you could give us your thoughts on the direct comparison of your 2 fine amps in your system.

I used to own the pass labs Xp-10 and Xa30.8 but I haven't heard the Frank's.

Charles has shared his thoughts on the Frank's and his journey of getting them dialed in his system.

Enquiring ears would like to know.

Enjoy that music my friend,
Kenny.

Great looking system and room snopro! Bet it sounds even better than it looks.

 I loved the sound of Charles' Frankensteins in my system and I look forward to hearing his Coincident system. The Frankensteins are the amps I'm looking to add to my system but I'm fortunate enough to be able to borrow teajay's Consonance 2A3 amp to try out......the bar has been set quite high with the Frank's though as they're the best sounding amps I've ever heard. 

Hey Everybody,

Last night I wrote my review on the Ulf's for hometheatereview.com and now my proof reader will clean it up before its submitted to my editor.  It was a pleasure to write it and its a joy to have Eric's brilliant creation producing music in my home.  

I still firmly stuck to my position that you need the right acoustic space (large with enough space from the front and side walls with a very high ceiling) for these magnificent music makers to breathe and live up to their ultimate level of performance. 

No doubt, my favorite combo on the DI's and now the Ulf's is the Micro-ZOTL and the Triode Lab 2A3 by far and I got in-house superlative gear to compare this pairing to which is mentioned in my review.

Hope, this review will go up on the website in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

thank you for your excellent comments. Honest and fair based on your listening experience. You have a very nice set-up. Best, mikirob

Hi Joe (Snopro),
As others have said your comments and opinions are most welcome and appreciated on this thread. You and I have shared dialogue on this forum for a number of years and I’ve the "upmost" regard for your always insightful contributions. As others have noted, you have assembled an excellent audio system.

There is simply no audio component that will please everyone all the time, impossible task. Some people scoff at the idea of synergy, I certainly do not. Multip6 variables determine the final sound quality of a system, what is a good fit here is a bad fit there. That’s why much of High End Audio revolves around trial and error. You just don’t really know until you’ve heard it and preferably in your own system.

You did exactly this and honestly stated your individual listening experiences, what more can one do? The LTA MZ2-S was/is fabulous for Teajay in his system. Your findings have equal validity, I respect both you and your listening experiences.

I heard this line stage with my Frankenstein in Tom’s system and the match was quite good sounding  in my opinion. Tom will bring the MZ2-S to my home in a few days and we’ll compare it to the Coincident Statement Line Stage.
