Tekton Double Impacts

@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 stand up bass definition/clarity. My father played R&B in my early years engraining the importance bass lines and how they make music pop. Many of the favorite classic rock bands also have the most musical bassists. I'm betting the DI's provide that clarity and authority given enough power, room accuracy and correction - just put them, on order!

Luke,

The 1812’s are more aimed towards the home theater crowd. Music lovers would be better served by the Ulf’s. (This is per Eric) I do not recall any posts here by 1812 owners.

Thanks Corelli, yes it seems there are not too many 1812’s out in the wild.

There is a customer review over on the Tekton site. I’ll include a small excerpt here...

Holy smokes, I have never heard a sound like this before! The highs are crisp and clear with tremendous imaging…the mids are punchy and concise…the lows are clean, correct and enveloping. The more you listen, the more you are drawn into the sound. I heard nuances I hadn’t heard with any other speaker.
I consider myself an “Audio Enthusiast” which would be less technical than a true Audiophile. Over the past few years, however, I have heard a huge number of speakers at the annual Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Nothing I have heard at this show produces the audiophile sound with the sheer output of the 1812 Model V’s. These really are the ultimate super speakers.

So it seems they were maybe aimed at 2 channel / audiophile listeners too? Anyway, there are no professional reviews of the 1812's anywhere which is a shame. Hopefully there will be more reviews of the Ulfs coming up, it’s always nice to hear multiple opinions from different sets of ears.

Cheers,
Luke

@latebloomer   Source first, so to speak  : ) ....Eric is good at guiding one through the options and the pros and cons. 

You could also reach out to Mike Kay @audioarchon and Terry @teajay  who may have more information.

It would be cool to have detail on the 1812s. If you find something out, do post.

I see there is a 8 ohm version and I was wondering has anyone tried the Tekton Double Impacts with Atmasphere M-60 mono amps?

Hey Everybody,

Just wanted to share that I have in for review a product from Dignity Audio out of Hong Kong that is imported by TAS Audio located in Brooklyn NY. TAS Audio is owned/run by Allan who's a good guy and offers great products at very reasonable prices.

The product in for review is called the PPT-50 (power purifier transformer) which only can deliver around fifty watts, therefore you only use it with pre-amps, CD players, and DACS, not power amplifiers.  It weighs around 2 pounds and has a nice black case with the on switch on the front plate and on the back plate one outlet for the power cord to your piece and another for the power cord to the wall socket.  

I found more impact when I put it on the Micro-ZOTL, using Audio Archon power cords, then my CF-010 DAC. It added a touch of more air around individual players, a slightly larger sound-stage with more space between players, and added a smidgen of image density.  It did no harm, but added on these postive changes.  Not a sonic earthquake, but when I took it out I missed what it was doing and put it back in.

Now, the PPT-50 costs a whopping $150.00 plus shipping, with a two week trial period!  I have spent more on NOS tubes with less of a positive change.  I have a hunch, since my pre-amp and DAC are tube based the positive changes I heard might be even greater if your front end is solid state. Either way I'm keeping mine because of what I shared above.

As stated before the Elf's and DI's are conduits, so any changes upstream will be easily heard through them. Highly recommended!
