| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers That’s funny because we put some Magnepan LRS speakers in directly after the tektons and both felt that bass and dynamics notwithstanding, the Maggies were the better speaker. I’m not slamming the DIs, they were competent at everything, just not g... | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers It all depends on your expectations and how high your bar is. I briefly owned the original Pendragons a few years ago and recently had a chance to spend a weekend with the Double Impacts. If you want a speaker that can fill a room with sound effor... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @fishagedone Good on ya for clearing this up. As you can see, there is a lot of respect and support for the work Pat and Steve do, and for good reason. I’m glad we all have a little better perspective on what happened. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps My DNA 0.5 has no power switch on the front panel either. It has a breaker on the side for powering on/off. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps You should be more forthcoming about who this “agent” is. If you really want to warn the audiophile community, as you say you do, then that is the person of concern. Not SMc audio. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps This is the first time I have ever heard of sMC having an agent. I bought my amp as a GT-20 back in July and when I decided I wanted to upgrade it, I picked up the phone and called Pat. We had several conversations and emails over the next few day... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps All this talk about sales agents. Where the hell did you contact this person? Is that a big secret? You aren't doing your credibility any favors. And I still don't understand why you are harping on the lack of balanced inputs. That's not the crit... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps My question is this. How did you come in contact with this "sales person"? Did you call sMC audio or did they reach out to you? Is this a third party "sales person" who has nothing to do with sMC? I really doubt that you spoke with Patrick or Stev... | |
| Burmester 218..... This thread would be comical if it weren’t so sad…. | |
| Is all the hype warranted I had a Decware Torii II on a pair of klipschorns and it was magical. Sold the khorns for a pair of Spatial Audio X3s and the amp fell right on it's face. With a manufacturers claim of 96 db sens., you would think it would have worked. But it didn... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Every amp I have owned that was switchable between UL and Triode has sounded better in ultralinear mode, no matter the speaker efficiency. The only way to truly get the triode benefit is to have an SET amplifier and appropriate speakers. | |
| Any Cube Audio owners moving to Qualio speakers? So an upgrade in performance perhaps, but downgrade in retail price. That is indeed good news if Qualio can compete (and beat) their sister products. I was under the impression that the reverse would be true. I am a happy IQ owner myself. | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Sounds like 4k is way above what the OP considers affordable. People, please lower your bar……. | |
| Battle of the Open Baffles @dlynch34 I couldn't agree more. The midrange is the one area that speaker is lacking. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it. | |
| Reliability - what’s your experience been? @orthomead I sent it to the importer in CA. They repaired the motor and sent it back. The Nott is long gone. I replaced it with a WT Amadeus, but now have a VPI Aries II. |
