| 300B vs. KT88 SET? Jax2, thanks for the offer. If I ever swing by Seattle, I would love to hear your rig. When the time arises, I will offer you the same opportunity, to listen to my rig in NY. Nice pics. Are you a photographer by profession? Nice pics in your websi... | |
| 300B vs. KT88 SET? Noise, be it from tube heating via high sensitivity speaker or in my case, due to what is called "battery" noise, it unavoidable, unless you have one of those new fangled digital amps. I have a pair of Voigt pipes, just the cabinets left. I made t... | |
| 300B vs. KT88 SET? I agree with Jax2 and others, that the inherent qualities of either 300B tubes and Kt88s are evident, according to the type of music that is demanded of them. I tend to associate Kt-88 tubes with powerful and high wattage wise tube amps. Due to th... | |
| Small Monitor for Berning Micro Zotl? TWL sold his MicroZotl when he got the custom made 2 watt Berning amp. It seems as if very sensitive set up, it will work fine, but as the ohm in a lowther might be 8 and above, your available wattage will be halved, each time you up in ohm. You w... | |
| Has anyone had any experience with Decware's SE34 In consideration of the type of speaker you have, your goal should be the best possible quality and disregard the wattage issue. If I am not mistaken, your speakers are very sensitive and this you can take advantage off by pairing them with the fe... | |
| Alternatives to Pass Labs Symphony line gear does not come cheap, even used.I second the notion of getting something affordable meanwhile, while you pinch your pennies towards the real deal. There is nothing like the real thing, others will try, but will never do. This is ... | |
| Good speakers for Gaincard under $1500? I think this thread is dated. Didn't you get a knock off of the Konus audio speaker for the system...aka Carolina Audio. Now, you have sold everything else off. | |
| Upgrade player or buy a separate DAC ScottDixon DAC, with or without tubes. Amazing for a pittance orBEL Canto Dac 2.0...another amazing DAC but quite a bit more expensive. You will not regret this purchase for a longtime to come. | |
| Has anyone had any experience with Decware's SE34 The Aronov, I have heard are very good, also the AES amps, nevertheless, if it is possible, you should attempt to audition the integrateds I have refer to. Why? They do not have the tube swapping factor involved, as well as being rather small, ori... | |
| Has anyone had any experience with Decware's SE34 Do not want to veer off topic, but have you considered a SS alternative? I have a 47 Labs Shigaraki integrated, as well as a Final Music 6 battery powered amplifier. Both, the first with 20 watts and the second with 10 watts of battery power have ... | |
| McCormack DNA1 Rev A or Bel Canto Evo 2 McCormack have been renown to be excellent partners with the speakers you own. Choose between the DNA 1 revisions or even the new DNA 225, can be had at about your price range. Thumpiness of bass has a lot to do with the set up of the speakers (no... | |
| Reference quality line stage? First Sound Presence References and Paramounts. They are unknown, but soundwise, difficult to beat. Even retail they are outstanding, as simple as they can come, with minimum amount of tubes (4) and massive and at your price range, maybe mono powe... | |
| Boomy bass in home theater room The Behringer DSP 90 something, for less than $300 as reviewed in Enjoy the Music and other sites will do what you expect for a lot less than the Rives and other such devices. Supposedly, the only drawback is that you need to read the manual prett... | |
| Speakers to Mate with McCormack? Check out the NorthCreek rhythms, they seem to be around your ballpark range and DO NOT have the Msrp markup or other non-sense. It seems that they are beyond superb, near SOTA. PS: I do have the DNA 225, make sure that whatever speaker your choos... |
