Calling all SET fans
Len,As Charles indicated I really love my Coincident Triumph Extreme IIs. However, at 4K including stands, they are not exactly budget monitors, and at that price, they should deliver the goods (and they do). I will never sell my TEIIs. Mikirob sw... 
Be honest please
No. I would be thrilled to find one of the old classics in an SA or Goodwill shop. 
Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all
Rob, Bill and Jet. I noticed last night that my downstairs Dynamo/Triumph Extreme system was sounding really good, even using my stock Oppo 93 as the source. I have a feeling that the WE14g speaker cables and Belden IC are burned in-- perhaps full... 
Yo Yo Ma - casually
For me Goat Rodeo is an occasional listen. Appalachian Spring is close to weekly. I could listen to the Bach Suites daily and never get bored. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Thanks Al. Got it. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Sorry Al, That was a CV378. It is a British Military 5U4. Thanks for the info and the assurance on my rectifiers. Someday, I'm going to have to go a little deeper than Ohms law. As for your response to Dracule, it is a little like trying to read G... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Dracule and Al Here we go again! I pasted in below a comment from page 6 of this thread from Matthias regarding AC voltage and Elrog life. Now, I am hearing that there is another issue, i.e. filament current. The 5U4, 5U4GB, CV387 tubes recommende... 
Yo Yo Ma - casually
Ptss, I agree. What after all, would people expect him to do? Record the Dvorak concerto 6 times? Crossover efforts as well done as those two albums are to be applauded. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Dracule, This is odd. Your findings are so different from Wyan, who also had the opportunity to evaluate both the Elrogs and the Psvane 101D WE replicas. He had a strong preference for the Elrogs in his Lampi. I know the Psvanes from using them in... 
Is it possible to adapt kt88 to a 6A3 single ended
Wow! Note to self. Watch for a gently used 6A3 amp to come up for sale soon.

JWM, Your comments remind me of the episode where Spock's father was suffering the Vulcan equivalent of Alzheimer's. He began to cry during performance of a string quartet. I have teared up a few times during a live concert, but me system, good as... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Dracule, my thoughts are similar to those of Charles, which is not surprising given that we are talking about the same tube in the same amp. What I would add is that the break in was very subtle. At most, break in gave another 5% of what you had s... 
Your Best Tweak Lately
Jafreeman,When I had Maggies I found that replacing the fuses and jumpers really did a wonderful job of reducing grain. With the Maggies, the musical signal passes through the fuses, so it makes sense that this would be a logical tweak. Not sure a... 
Low Voltage Issues- Power Conditioner?
Most power conditioners remove noise from the AC, but cannot change the supplied voltage. In my case, I had high voltage and wanted to reduce it in order to extend tube life. I bought both a PS Audio P10 and a P5 for my primary and secondary syste...
