Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s
Hi @mmcgill829  With model 18 2a3 has enough power if you listening room is not huge.  300b amplifier is not better vs 2a3 but more chalanging to make it sound good. Because 300b is much more difficult to drive. If you don't need extra power 2a3...

Step Up Transformer Question
Hi @lewm , I used the original EAR 834 phonostage and then improved the DIY version based on the EAR 834 phonostage schematics that I built myself. I used Ortofon Rondo Bronze with Altec 15095. Then I used Ortofon Jubilee with Altec 4722. After ...
