| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? Hi @pdreher , What is a size of your room? In room smaller than 250 sq. feet 300B amp should be enough. I had opposite experience with McIntosh MC 30 and DIY 300B amp with my Altec 604E. But the room was small and probably 604E is a little bit m... | |
| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? I can recommend: 1. 300B integrated Allnic T-1500. I listened to it in Montreal Audio show and it sounds really great. It has 6sn7 driver loaded on choke - LC coupling. 2. Aric Audio Super 300B. It should be even better because it has 6v6 powerf... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? I had many different vt231 from 40x. (Ken-Rad black glass, transparent glass, Sylvaniya, RCA) I don't have Tung-Sol and Sylvania 6sn7W, because they were crazy expensive, even 18 year ego when I bought most of my tubes. Ken-Rad VT-231 black glas... | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? NOS 5U4G RCA is not something special. I like Ken-Ran 5u4G. But Linlai 5u4g are on the same level and very cheap. I had a U52 GEC/Brimar brown base. It was really great, better than other stuff I had but it is crazy expensive now. I bought it when... | |

| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? Hi @dekay You are right. I read about this tube on the EML site. Yes it is designed to work in 2a3 amplifiers. It is more like 2a3, just more powerful. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? 300b won't work at it best in 2a3 amplifier. Different, 1. Load resistance 2.5k , need 3.5k 2. Different self bias resistance value. 3. Different plate voltage. 4. Need more voltage swing for driver tubes. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? Linlai 6sn7 are great. I also have and used Ken Rad vt231 black glas. I liked them a lot. But Linlai are even better. I also like Linlai 5u4g. They are affordable and really good, comparable to vintage Ken Rad and Brimar 5u4g. I didn't have EML... | |
| Gustard R26 ladder DAC sound signature - comments? How is Gustard R26 compared to Gustard A26? | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem EAR509 amplifier is a good amplifier but it sounds completely different compared to any SET amplifier. It has a number of feedbacks and is designed and sounds more like a transistor amplifier. It is also completely balanced from input to output. ... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Hi @creativepart , Can you write more of your impressions about Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE? I use the Chord Quetest DAC. And I'm planning to upgrade it in future. | |
| 300b lovers Hi @lynn_olson I use EAR834p schematics in my current DIY phonostage. The second ecc83 miller capacity for RIAA equalization. It is also using small capacitors in the RIAA equalizer. So I use air capacitors in this RIAA. I also use the LCL... |
