| Tekton Double Impacts Though it's highly unlikely that any of the headphones being used are rated at 4ohms. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay I understand...but folks are driving headphones with close to 1W output from the DAC/Pre (for example, the Chord Dave). And getting phenomenal results. Just curious...given your surprise at the DIs performance with a 1W output, albeit deli... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts teajay,Given your recent 'shock' and revelation....Any possibility of going direct out of a DAC/Pre, similar to what some do with headphones?- David. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @audioarchon: Following teajay's guidance, the speakers are now 8 feet apart (center to center). I will not be able to get them any closer together unless I completely pull them out into the room for experimenting purposes.Listening position is 9... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad Thanks. The Double Impacts have been a very good decision!And thanks for letting me know about the Starsound / Sistrum tip over issue relative to having a 3 year old loose in house. It's what I was worried about. So unless I hear othe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli: Thanks for the guidance on considering Soundcity Outriggers. I've read the entire thread a few times now : ) and I did bookmark their site. I've had my eye on Sistrum for years now, but the cost is higher and I'm concerned about tip-ov... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi teajay,THANK YOU!I just re-positioned.The best I can do is 3ft off of the front wall. Currently it is limited by speaker cabling length, however, a simple re-route will fix that. Mainly it is keeping my wife happy with the layout. She finds the... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025 @audioarchon @teajay and other Double Impact Owners:Need your guidance with setup positioning of the DIs.I can realistically only place the DIs about 2 feet away from the wall behind them (wall to back side of the speaker). I might be ab... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mike,Please post!I just want to be sure I know what you are evaluating. Thanks,- David. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mike,You are referring to your speaker pair as the DI-SE when it appears that they are not. Will this not be confusing? It is to me.- David. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts An update....Swapped out the Exogal Comet Plus - Ion duo today.The chain driving the Double Impacts is:Tidal via PC USB out (direct; no USB optimization inserted) > Schiit Yggdrasil (DAC) > HeadAmp GS-X Mk II (Preamp) > Simaudio Moon Neo ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi 333jeffery,PM me with any additional info you are looking for on the comparison so that we don't steer away from the Double Impacts discussion.Best, - David. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts 007,My Comet - Ion duo has been used for TV / Movies in a 2Ch setting extensively and performs remarkably well for running Optical out of the TV (cable coax TV feed and streaming Netflix, Amazon, etc.).As you know, the combination solution also li... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I should have clarified. Temporary for now. May end up being the permanent pairing.And to re-clarify: You are absolutely correct... The Comet/Ion is an excellent combo and I think highly of it.A few reasons:1. I have not set up my office system ye... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts You are welcome, teajay. Keep up the good work over at hometheaterreview and elsewhere.We are settling into our new home and my system is in the process of being set up. At this point, the room is brand new to me and my ears...and likely needs som... |
