| Hearing Aids in 2023 .. Questions My hearing isn’t that bad but I’ve been wearing hearing aids for 5 years. Long story how I ended up there but suffice it to say, we wear glasses when we have just slightly imperfect vision. Should do the same for hearing. High end hearing aids th... | |
| Does a weave of cables really make a difference? The manufacturer will tell you for sure you must use all cables by his brand for best results. Many people have read and believed this. they will repeat it in this thread. I believe good cables are good cables. Jerry | |
| Sensitivity question You seem to be mixing concepts. "hard to drive" is usually reserved for speakers with very low impedences in certain frequency bands that need very high current. Not the same as sensitivity Low sensitivity needs more watts of power, but isn’t nec... | |
| There's No Question @benmeadows I've always been a form-follows-function guy myself. | |
| There's No Question @benmeadows If you are going dual purpose, good sound AND fine furniture, then Tekton is not for you. | |
| There's No Question I like further apart and slightly toed in. Picture has my new stereo stand sitting in front that will push them a bit further apart. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kxHkCxPwuEgjbdYf8 | |
| There's No Question @hilde45 That is what I posted. It is my opinion. Obviously I think it is right. Not sure how many agree with me. but I know a lot of tekton owners who do. Anyone who wants to post other opinions won't hurt my feelings. Jerry | |

I didn't know that Qobuz sold songs to download, but if they do, there is likely an improvement in the quality of the digi... | |
| The difference between Qoboz stream vs purchased songs Are you talking CDs? or digitally downloaded purchases such as apple music. I'm not sure they even do that any more. | |
| 300b lovers @charles1dad Not sure what speakers yet. While my new amp is AD1 based, I think its strong points are more the design and power supply than the tubes used. I'm sure it would sound great in 300b too. Wish you were going to be there. I will be t... | |

| 300b lovers @charles1dad @donsachs I will be at the Pacific Audio Fest Thurs thru Sunday. While I am currently listening to an Italian 300b with Sophia mesh tubes, my new custom AD1 based amp will be on display there before I bring it home. Jerry | |
