| Amp for Totem Forest I had a pair of Forests when I was transitioning amplifiers, so I tried them with the MA6300, Cayin A88, and Plinius 8200.My favorite of the 3 was the McIntosh because it had more life with the Forest than the Plinius. The A88t was weak in the low... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Talked to a tube guy named Jim about it and he says they will be fine. I'm going to give them a try. Will post follow up. Thanks again for the support guys. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Seems like the GGL KT77 might be the tube of choice. Can the KT77 be used in an amp that runs in either ultralinear or triode, like the VAC Avatar or the Manley amps? I thought I saw somewhere that it is designed for ultralinear use. This confused... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Also, which has a deeper 3 dimensional soundstage, the Siemens or the Golden Lion?Thanks. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Tommy, thanks for your description. I read your post and did some more reading on the KT77 and it sounds like a great tube.You mention the highs on the KT77 being between the SED and the Siemens. Does this mean the Siemens had more detailed highs?... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Ajackson1, thanks, I am looking for something a little faster and cleaner than the SED for my current setup. Any comparison on the G. Lion vs the Siemens, or another tube recommendations? | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Anyone compared the Golden Lion to the Siemens EL34? Is the Siemens more detailed? Tried to post this 2 times already but the system seems weird. | |
| design criteria, W.A.F. etc Totem Forest is a great speaker in that range but are looking for a stand mount? I'm looking for clarification because you say monitor but then say less than 4ft. That would be a big a** stand mount. | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Zu IMHO is like the $500 car with the 2k stereo system. Something doesn't balance out. I had the Essence for 6 months with 3 different good amps and it sounded like a sub 2k speaker in some regards but a 5k speaker in others. To my ears they are a... | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 No thoughts? I would call the VAC a winner if I had to guess but I hope to get more than my own idiotic however well informed interpretation. | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 Tpsonic, the current 803s series, not the 803d or the older N803. Nice speaker but 8 ohm min 3ohm. Sounded much better to me with ss.Anyway, I am hoping to learn more about the 2275 compared to the Super. | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? The Luxman L-590 is a beautiful sounding amp. Just beware that it runs hot, and is bigger than it looks in pictures. If those minor things don't matter, I think it would be a great match for the Rienzi. I agree with the above comments on Sim. I've... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Why not buy a used Fidelio Encore instead of the Rienzi? I've been listening to Verity for years and find them to be one of the best speakers made. I owned the Tamino and found much joy in it, however I always took the pilgrimage to listen to the ... | |
| Is weight really mater? Gunbei, your dicktionary must be on the light side :0) I've had a few of those D amps and never held on to them. Good ones too. I wish they were better because my home heating system works fine on its own. I've always found class D to be a little ... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W Macallen7, I looked back at a couple of your previous posts and think you need to get out and listen some more. What speakers have you heard and what are your impressions?I don't think you will find the best answer here on your computer screen. Go... |
