| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Collatio - First True Class A SE OTL AmplifierThis is most certainly false. Single ended OTLs have been around for decades and by definition are class A. | |

| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp And how does one acquire an immunity to interconnect cables? Is it from a consistent exposure to same that you build up a natural resistance to them? Sheeeesh!🤔😝Proper inoculation I guess.however, my encounter with preamp MP-1 is otherwise. In... | |

| Aesthetic preamp @handymann So you have a *different* preamp for the bass?I think you would be better off running the sub off the main output, if the Aesthetix will support it. The bass issue is understandable- I seek out original pressings on the older LPs, just... | |
| Preamp for Burmester power amp 3)The balanced inputs of your amp have an **extremely** low input impedance of 1.88K. I suspect that the Pass and Ayre preamps would be able to drive such a low impedance with good results, but it would probably be a good idea to check with the... | |
| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp It also doesn't necessarily mean a balanced connection or a fully balanced design circuit (i.e MP-3) will give you lower noise or have any advantage over single ended design. Fully balance design circuit will also susceptible to hum problems to... | |
| What is needed to build a tube amp and what non? But OTL has phase invertor like PP and signal goes between sholders and sound is close to PP.But I like my SE 2A3 RCA and my OTL 6AS7GE....Not all OTLs are built with a phase inverter. Ours aren't- the output of the voltage amplifier goes directl... | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? The bearings in the Triplanar may be the hardest available, however the VTA tower is a little "loose" dont you think.That surprised me so I just took a look. Even with the set screw on the side of the tower perfectly loose, there was no play. So, ... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? sometimes you can even hear the horn honk coloration on voices...I know some horns don't have this..You are right- some horns don't have that at all. It all depends on how well the throat of the horn is designed; many don't have the benefit of com... | |
| Aesthetic preamp I’m using all balanced cables, except for the tape monitor, which I use for my subs.If I'm reading this right, are you saying that the tape output is controlled by the volume control? If not, then you would have to adjust the subs every time you ... | |
| What is needed to build a tube amp and what non? but one bad side for OTL, OTL is close to PP.That is certainly open to debate. It all depends on execution. Without an output transformer, its much easer to build an amplifier that has no crossover issues whatsoever. | |
| Highest detail cartridges In my system, cartridge anomalies, arm resonances, tube warmth, and similar often appear in my system as "bloom" at various frequencies that distorts instrumental timbre. Some listeners like that distortion and call it "musical" or other descr... | |
| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? A budget has not been mentioned.One speaker that has solved similar desires I have in a speaker is the Classic Audio Loudspeaker. I have the model T-3.3. It is 98 db, 16 ohms, goes from 20Hz to 35KHz. The all important midrange is a beryllium diap... | |
| Ohm load for SET Amps What sort of problems have you heard in those speakers and what sort of budget do you have? |
