| LTA - Has Anyone Had First Hand Experiance? My first hand experience is with Berning equipment. I think that these designs are among the best I have heard and I see no reason why the LTA shouldnt be very close with a similar "house" sound. | |
| Tekton Design Speakers Price Increase What does it take to join the Tekton haters club? Are you a hater if you dont spew like millercarbon at the very mention of the name? | |
| Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already? If you see a dealer that has a bunch of "new old stock in white boxes" you should be wary. Especially if these NOS are not military (JAN) tubes. A box doesnt prove that the tube is NOS, but the lack of an original box usually is very telling. | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation I would also suggest LTA if they have enough power. | |
| Seeking advice what to upgrade I think that the speakers are the greatest contributor to your fatigue. If you have loading settings on your phono preamp you can mess with these. | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume The David Berning stuff is wonderful. I am not sure if these designs are as adverse to lower impedance speakers as other OTL designs seem. | |
| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier I dont think that Kara (DeHavilland) is still active in this market. Perhaps I am wrong but I think this is worth mentioning. | |
| Kharma Ceramique 2.3 with McIntosh MC275 or Purifi Amplifiers? I am a big fan of OTL amplifiers like the Atma-sphere. If the lowest impedance that the Kharma has is 6 ohms or above then I think this would be the way to go. | |
| Power cable for Lavardin For the most part I think carbon is correct. However I have heard greater improvements with the same cords on different components. | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? Although I am not really a fan of Class D I am not ready to dismiss this technology completely. However I am in no hurry to embrace it either. You are a fool to put any stock in the vast majority of audio reviews. Ad revenue is just the beginning ... | |
| Kharma Ceramique 2.3 with McIntosh MC275 or Purifi Amplifiers? I have had some exposure to this speaker. If memory serves it is very easy to drive and seems well suited to tubes. I think you can do better than McIntosh. | |
| Photos of my system Money well spent. I think you did a very good job with your allocation of funds and made good fundamental choices. | |
| Speaker design, KenjiT and others. A friend from Portland recently went to Mike L's house to listen to his system. Said it was excellent as one would expect and more than simply the sum of its parts. | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D Yes I know Ralph is working on a Class D amp and thinks the design holds promise. Yes I agree with what you said about comparisons. Just my 2 cents not prefaced with IMO. | |
| The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D Class D have come along way but they still dont quite measure up. With the right speakers, nothing equals tube and no tube design equals OTLs. |
