| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience Yes, I've had Paul Birkeland's 3C24 for a while and intend to keep it. Sent you message. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience @wrm57, as promised, I'm finally getting back to you with my impression of my LTA Ultralinear amp. I've recently spent a significant amount of time listening to the Ultralinear and having owned the ZOTL Ref40 I can tell you that the sound of the U... | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience I might add also add that the Ultralinear is definitely a quieter amp by a good margin. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience Apologies but the last comment was for WRM57. | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience It's hard to say at this point. The Eaton 2a3 has been my main amp. I previously had a pre-owned LTA Ref40 which I loved and regret getting rid of. The Ultralinear has not broken in yet (less than 20 hrs of use) so it's not fairing as well against... | |
| New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp opinions and experience Thanks for the few responses here. I think I'm going to pass on the New Audio Frontiers 211SE. Just realized that it weighs 110 lbs. I had enough of that back-breaking work with my VAC Renaissance 70/70 and Lamm ML2.1s as I am no longer young and ... | |
| New "World Class" 3C24 amp Good to hear Dan. I'm about to pick up a similar amp from Paul. He's been doing some check-ups and repairs for me this past year on some tube amps, both here and gone, based on your recommendation here on AgoN. You are absolutely on point about hi... | |

I could ask my engineer to explain, but this will involve you me and him reading/writing long paragraphs. Our AVO VCM163 is the best tub... | |
| NOS Mullard EL34 indicates overload during testing My bad for the typo: tests on the Mullard EL34s were not 8500 but rather 3500. Regardless, overload light came on. Thanks. | |
| Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission? Appreciate all the responses and recommendations. I will contact Andy at Vintage Tube Services to get his perspective on the matter. | |
| Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission? s_k_77, appreciate you sharing your experience with the LTA ZOTL40 Reference with NOS Mullard tubes. | |
| Minimonitors Thank you all for your insights and suggestions. Most speakers mentioned here have something good/great to offer, but there's good likelihood that I'm gonna go with Raidho X1. We'll see where this journey takes me but will probably require a sub t... | |
| Minimonitors Forgot to mention, listening room is 16 wide by 20 deep. Most listening are low level, hardly ever passing noon on the dial. Can't remember who said it but it stuck with me: "the first few watts are really key". The Harbeths were fantastic but did... | |
