Tekton Double Impacts

Thanks Aric, I appreciate your generous offer and shall take you up on it. Your amp will be sonic perfection with a dead silent background. I'll give you a shout to set it up. 

Can't wait to have you over again to hear the amp Charles. Once I get it back from Aric we will plan it. I should have the SE's by then too. Fun, fun!

Congrats David. Looks like Eric is cranking the SE's out in good order. Audio Archon got theirs last week, you got yours this week and hopefully I'll get mine next week or the week after. Looking forward to hearing your impressions of them. 

"BTW Aric the modification offer you made to Tom is both classy and kind IMHO."

Yes, it most certainly is. +1 to Aric. Also, +1 to Charles for pointing-out the 6EM7 tube to Aric!

There are still some good people left in this world!

Exciting news  for many of you.

Tom, I'm glad you have found your amp for the DI's.  Appreciate the nice review of what the amp is capable of in your system.  With the type of music you most enjoy I can see where a  300b based amp is a great choice.  While I really enjoy both my current amps, I still have an interest in 300b SE amps.  Not at all because I feel wanting with my current gear, but rather because all amps bring a different set of strengths and it's fun to rotate in a different amp now and again depending on what CD's I'm spinning.
I seem to keep looking at the Audio Note Kit 300b/10th  anniversary edition with it's C core transformers.  It's on sale right now for just under $3000 and seems crammed full of high quality components.  Honestly I'd love to put one together.  No doubt the nostalgia of it all--bringing me back to the Dynaco/Hafler kits of my youth! (What do you think Charles?)
On the other hand, Aric has treated you great and I certainly applaud  his offer!
David, looking for ward to your review of the SE's!  Wonder how these would stack up to Bill's revamped DI's.
Lots of fun.

Sbayne and Charles,
Yes, Eric is a class act and I never had any reservations in having me build this amp or whether he would totally stand behind his work. As you can tell from his posts he is totally competent and knowledgeable but more importantly to me he's a stand up guy......a joy to deal with. 

corelli,
You're so right, there are so many good amp choices for the DI and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm looking forward to hearing my DI's with a SS amp once my SE's get here. With the 300B with the SE's and my old Proceed amp with the DI's I'll get two different but great sounds. The fun never ends!

Thanks very much, I appreciate the kind words! Best, Aric
