Einstein
Thanks holter. I am looking at ways of using the balanced out. It is, after all , what the tube was designed for . My current thinking is to pair it with the pass labs xa30.8. But my planets have to align before I make that purchase. It's a very d...

Hi lewm, thanks for the advice. I am now in conversation and troubleshooting with Helmut Brinkmann, who is super helpful. Working through things and Hope to have a solution very soon. Just for info, the motor is designed to have enough torque to s...

Atmas.. As usual you make a lot of sense. I really hadn't thought about maintaining the advantage of The balanced cables.Thanks for your kind offer of technical know how. When I decide on my amp I'll talk to my designer and see if he is confident ...

After much wailing and gnashing of SET's . I have come to the conclusion that the Westminsters love big power. The Sophia electric 300b's didn't work for me, and the parallel mono block 845's didn't work very well either. Right now however they ar...

Tboooe, yes I don't know how they do it. I know this sounds corny but I listened to the Einstein in a couple of different systems and in each system it was like an extra layer of sound was sort of revealed. I don't know if this is because it is so...

Just a quick update... I tried an Einstein "the tube" last weekend. It was fantastic. Full, tight bass. Imaging left to right and back to front much better. Its got a 50ohm output impedance. That pre-amp is the best I've heard. Its an option but v...

I spoke to the designer and the 600ohms load input is in fact a transformer not set with a resister. So it would seem that this is a transformer coupled design. I tried a CAT ultimate Mk11 last night (100ohms output) and its very good, transparent... 
Tannoy Westminster amp matching question.
Hi larryi, What you describe is what I was finding. Almost no bass response. They do a matching 600ohm output linestage. If I cant make other Pre-amps work ( I'm trying the CAT sl1 tonight ) I may end up getting their matching amp. Its not too ex...

Omsed, I may end up doing that. Been contemplating something like that if I'm unhppay at the end of all this . I'd still need a good pre though. thanks. 
Looking to get back into Vinyl.
Hi All, well, things have moved on since I asked the original question. In the end I ended up with a TT weights Gem, I added a Kuzma 4point tone arm and I'm using the everlasting denon 103r. Phono stage is a Mk1 Tube Herron stage. Its fantastic. S...
