| Tekton Double Impacts @lancelock :I am using Herbie's 'Giant Threaded Stud Gliders' screwed into the Double Impacts and Herbie's 'Giant Fat Gliders' under each 18 by 20 inch isolation platform. The DIs with Gliders rest upon the isolation platform. The isolation platfo... | |
| The Backert Labs Rhumba 1.2 Extreme Woody, Thank you for your detailed response. Appreciate it.Were you able to listen to the Rhumba 1.2 vs. the Extreme head to head?If so, any comments about sonic differences / gains as one moves up? Thanks. | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? Your advice is on point. +1Tekton Design offers a 60 day home trial. Most direct to end-user speaker companies do the same and it is absolutely worth taking advantage of. I would not have purchased the Tekton Double Impacts without a home trial gu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay : Hi Terry. Are you saying that a more forward stage presentation is a 'shortcoming' or was your comment more of a general statement? Thank you. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @333jeffery: Thank you!!! That's what I thought. How close would you say you are to the 'stage' with the Ulfberths? If I remember correctly, your seating position is about 10 feet from the speakers. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @vitop: I'm sure @333jeffery will clarify, but I don't believe he means bright. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @333jeffery: When you say 'forward' do you mean closer to the stage? And when you say 'more in your face,' are you describing the same as being 'forward' or something else? Thanks. - David. | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? @la10slgr: Congratulations. Great news about your room! Looking forward to your impressions and evaluation of the Double Impacts (I believe that is what you went with, correct?). | |
| Focal Utopia Headphone Cable These pricing issues bite, don't they. : )Only you can figure this one out. If the Utopias are your primary source of music listening, I'd suggest it makes sense to stretch the budget. And then there is time. You could take steps up the proverbial... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @mikey8811 :Saw your post on the Audience thread, so cycled back to this one.For me, the Clear Reflections offered the right balance for my needs and system. There are surely more resolving ICs and surely warmer ICs...but for my system and needs, ... | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @mrppv : Thanks for your response. I'll keep the Omegas and Clearview in mind.I'm not looking to change the Cardas Clear Reflections...but if I have an opportunity to try the SX ICs out, I just might. | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @jafant : The ’major’ reviews of the SX line-up all mention the SX being a significant step up from the SEs..therefore likely even more so from the Es (I’m guessing here) since these cables are my first ever exposure to Audience cables. | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @mikey8811 : I went with the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables.I have the Cardas Clear Reflection XLRs between my DAC and Preamp and between the Preamp and Amplifier.I did not compare the SX ICs since I'm very satisfied with the Clear Reflections. | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? You are absolutely right. So many cables and many good ones. I received some strong recommendations, so I may test those out, down the road.I will check the Omega Mikro’s out. What do you like about them?And what were your thoughts on the SX XLRs? | |
| Audience Au24 SX Speaker Cable Impressions, VS? @mrppv : Definitely give the Audience Au24 SX speaker cables a try. Not much of a downside to do a loaner through The Cable Company. I'm sure system synergy plays a role. Given the amount of time that has passed, it might be a fun test to conduct... |
