Kanto TUK Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Bluetooth® 4.2 with Qualcomm® aptX™, Phono Pre-Amp (Matte Black)

Product Information

You can also improve the audio performance of other equipment using the external DAC that the Kanto TUK offers. With one speaker system, we eliminated the need to purchase an external DAC, headphone amp, phono preamp, and AV receiver. The integrated preamp in the TUK speakers eliminate the need for an external pre-amp when using a turntable, should you have needed one, this allows you to plug your turntables directly into the speakers. We locate Joni Mitchell’s River, another FLAC file, but this time we listen through Grado’s SR125 headphones plugged into the master speaker.

Add the USB DAC, headphone output, and its accuracy to be used as actual near-field studio monitors into consideration, and the purchase of a pair of TUKs is a no brainer. There is a very airy saxophone, and you can really get the sense of space that it takes up in the recording. When the drums kick in, the TUKs are more than up for the task of keeping the timing secure – but the bass clout is lacking.

The THX789 provided a slightly tighter, more authoritarian sub-bass but the TUK showcased great drive and a good level of control too. These powered speakers carry many of the features you'd expect of a complete music system, including aptX HD Bluetooth and both digital and analogue inputs. You will be offered the best rate available based on your credit history and the lenders’ credit decision policies. Notable is the new matte finish that matches the speakers and represents a step up from the somewhat tacky rubberized finish of their prior remotes.

Folded ribbon tweeters, as the ones featured in TUK, have always been the jewel in the monitoring world.I had the exact same high frequency hum with my pair bought from an online retailer, and it was obviously a manufacturing defect. CONNECT YOUR VINYL: Instead of a single, switchable RCA input, TUK features separate phono and line-level inputs to provide uninterrupted access to its built-in phono preamp. Joni has an interesting way of writing her music in interesting timing signatures, and then overlaying the vocals in a different one. One of the driving forces of the TUK speakers is the specialised AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeters. This subreddit is for the budget minded audiophile that wants to grow out of soundbars, boomboxes, mini systems, portable bluetooth, lifestyle speakers, and PC peripheral branded audio solutions.
