| Tekton Double Impacts @greg22lz , They're the best SC’s I’ve ever owned as well. Outperforming a 4K set of cables I had. | |
| David Berning Quadrature Z or Vitus SS-101 FYI, David Berning doesn’t do a lot of amp building these days but his amp designs can be purchased at Linear Tube Audio. He works closely with Mark Schneider to build these amps on a larger scale and more affordable. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? @mdeblanc , I use the ZOTL40 to power my 87db sensitive Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats and I have plenty of headroom. You could probably use the ZOTL10 and have enough power. LTA has a nice trial policy so you can send it back. I also use the M... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I have the Modwright 205 and love it. If you don’t need a transport and HT, the Modwright Oppo Sonica is the exact same DAC but not as expensive. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay , you will need to review some more gear soon. I stopped in at Linear Tube Audio today and saw some cool stuff coming. The new ZOTL10 MK2 is already on the web site and it is a completely different animal from the first version, with a Lin... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I guess the audio rags are like politics, they represent favorably those who give them the most money. As far as TAS.... well they're not as bad as Stereophile. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Like others here I use the Cerious Tech Graphene Extreme speaker cables with my DI's and in my opinion the CT GE cables are a high value in the same way the DI's are. I sold off my 4K speaker cables after trying the $649 CT GE's and will never sho... | |
| confused: which turntable cartridge used with Audible Illusions Modulus ? When I had the AI Modulus I also had a VPI Scout and Soundsmith Zepher MM cart. The John Curl phono section is one of the best I’ve ever had. | |
| Great experience with Linear Tube Audio The folks at LTA, Mark, Will and the guys are great people. If they sounded like they were in the same room it’s because they probably were. Not a big place but a friendly and fun place to hang out. I stop in whenever I’m in the neighborhood and a... | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? @mdeblanc , I once owned the Decware ZMA and I do consider it a work of art and sounded pretty darn good too. I sold it for the ugly duckling LTA ZOTL 40 and the sound has me hooked for life. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am less interested in Audio art work than in I am in beautiful sound. I think the PR’s look fine but there are many better sounding amps to be had regardless of what Stereophile says. Their reviews are mean... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts It looks like my DI’s will be up for sale soon. As soon as I can get my hands on the DI SE’s that is.I hope Eric will be at the Capital Audiofest with those.Lance | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric I think the Esoteric should sound much better than the stock Oppo. The real test would be between the Modwright Oppo and the Esoteric. This would be a closer competition in sound and price. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? I finally gave away my ESS speakers I bought in 1977. My friend still uses them after replacing the woofers. | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE @audiofun , please keep us in the loop on the results of your regulated LPS supply adventure. As a fellow GAE owner I might want to follow a similar path.Lance |
