| EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC For me, and given my system chain....In short (and with all the caveats such generalizations entail):The Yggy is slightly 'in my face,' more visceral. And fun!The Comet-Ion duo get out of the way. Very smooth, clean and easier to live with for lon... | |
| EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC It would be helpful if you can provide more detail about your system, needs, music preferences, etc. etc.And anything specific regarding DACs in general or each specific model. | |
| EXOGAL Comet or Shitt Yggdrasil DAC There is a lot of information available on the Yggy, less so on the Exogal Comet.I own both, with the Comet paired to the Ion.There is some good, though limited discussion over at computer audiophile exogal drops the other shoehttps://www.computer... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @mac48025 ; @klh007 ; @corelli If I go with the Herbies Audio 'Giant Threaded Stud Glider' product, do you recommend going 1/4" 20 in the 1/2 inch length so that the sliders are flush with the speaker base, or would you go with a slightly longer l... | |
| 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. | |
