Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp...
Rebbi, if there is a Nobel prize for patience, you are a slam dunk. I am so happy this finally got resolved. We will all be wanting to hear how the burn in goes, and also if you find the amp to be up to driving the deCapos. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, due to my current situation I'm only getting about 5 hours a week on the Elrogs. I do think they are improving, but its hard to say for sure with so few hours and extended times between sessions. They are so good I'm not inclined to leave... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
There we have it folks, now we have seen the dark side of the moon. Charles, having had the Elrogs in my Franks for a while, I certainly agree with your assessment. Based on my experience, I would have been somewhat surprised had you come to any o... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, are we there yet, are we there yet? LOL, you are in a unique position. Almost like the first man to see the dark side of the moon. Having taken the plunge on the Elrogs, and having loved them without reservation since day one, I am as you... 
Anyone use solar power?
Zd, surely all natural,organic,sustainable electrons must have a sonic advantage. How can you not see this?

Rob,thanks. The dynamo/decapo pair has much to like, but I think walking bass presents a challenge. When I get everything reunited in my new home I will reevaluate this with the decapos drive by the Frankensteins.

Teretubozo, Thanks for the comparison. Not off topic at all.

Excellent news Rebbi!Mikirob, I am looking forward to more detail on the M Lore (that just sounds too much like Data's evil twin) vs DeCappo evaluation. I find it kind of funny with the DeCappos. They can deliver the goods reasonably well with tra... 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Smrex, I had some ground loop problems initially when I fed my coincident csl to the dynamo. I think Mikirob also had some issues at first. One of the reviewers had hum due to DC offset. That could also be an issue. Let us know what Israel says. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Calloway, There is certainly such a thing as synergy (or lack thereof) between particular tubes and pieces. But just as significant is the fact that certain tubes will play to a particular persons values better than others. If it were me, I'd wait... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, I'm very happy with what I hear, but again, I have no experience with the top tier tubes. My frame of reference is Psvane T's and TII's. You are the guy who will shortly be in a position to rank all of the top notch tubes, at least as the... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, agree completely. I didn't think twice about buying the Elrogs. I have no doubt, I will never regret the decision. It is just that I am by nature very frugal on things non audio. I spent a total of $400 on my first 4 cars. My current rig ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Pani, Much better! Everything, resolution, definition, imaging, low frequency response, you name it. Just a much better tube. I really like the Elrogs. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Agon should rethink policies that embitter assets like Schubert. And Padmore still sounds better through SET amps. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Anyone know what a 300B Western electric went for back in 1962? Take a step back and look at the big picture. We are celebrating a price decrease from 2K to 1.2 K for a pair of vacuum tubes. No wonder our wives think we are crazy. But oh, the midr...
