| 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... | |
| 300b lovers Hi @atmasphere , I have balanced connection from the cartridge to SUT. But from SUT to phonostage it is SE connection. In my next phonostage project, I plane to put SUT close to the first tube inside the phonostage. But I think to make balanced ... | |
| 300b lovers Hi @atmasphere , If you run EQ via feedback, you run into the same problem that Norman Crowhurst wrote about nearly 70 years ago. Which problem? Can you explain? I saw Cintation 1 schematics. It is difficult to understand capacitors values an... | |
| 300b lovers Hi @donsachs , Thank you for good words and help. My next project will be a phonostage. I have a DIY phonostage I built in 2011 based on EAR834p schematics. In my phonostage I used better parts (air capacitors) and power supply (with LCLC power ... | |
| 300b lovers Hi @lynn_olson The driver tubes are 6f6 in thriode mode. 6f6 are Torvac brand (probably made by Mulard). | |
| 300b lovers Thank you @lynn_olson @donsachs @atmasphere for your advice and answers to my question that helped me to build the 300B SET amplifier. https://photos.app.goo.gl/4LUJVLJ3LuuW32yE7 The amplifier sounds realy good - fast, transparent with d... | |

| Montreal Audio Fest 2024 Hi @noromance , You are welcome! Regards, Alex. | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? In my experience low sensitivity speakers not just make unpleasant compression but also mask microdynamics and texture. It is so obvious that producing low sensitivity drivers is much cheaper. Weak magnets are cheaper, heavier diaphragms are cheap... | |
| 300b lovers Many audiophiles underrate the contribution of pre and power amplifier in sound systems. In most cases an extraordinary amplifier with average speakers sounds better than an average amplifier with extraordinary speakers. | |

| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. Hi @kennymacc @james633 I think it is possible to make an analogue active crossover for Jubilees. But it will not be as easy. Time delay can’t be done like in DSP. But I have a friend who builds DIY speakers with and without horns with passiv... | |
| JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers. I have chance to listen Klispch Jubilee on Montreal Audio show last year. The sound disappointed me. I think the reason was because the speakers were powered by TEAC amplifiers that are not a good match for these speakers. IMHO when I think about ... | |
| Capacitor replacement for Jamicon 25 volt I can recomend Cornell Dubilier capacitor 383lx series. They sound good in power supply and have a huge number of voltages and values. Nichicons are good too. I also agree than 63v is better than 25v if there is enough place in box. 63v from the ... |
