| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Superior sound is subjective. What you like someone else may hate. Many roads to the same place. Agreed and exactly my point. You have to hear and listen to make a final choice determination. If some folks prefer to downplay actual listening, ... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Of course if you substitute the term reliability in place of measurement, that’s a fundamentally different argument. Without question I would choose high reliability compared to low reliability. But that wasn’t the point of this topic thread. Tub... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @onhwy61 But isn't there enough gear that measures reasonably well and sounds pretty good that we can move on from poorly measuring equipment regardless of how it sounds Interesting conclusion. Why would one want to move away "regardless of h... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns Thoughtful and insightful post. Synergy and compatibility aspects of audio products reign supreme in my opinion. Charles | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Audio Research and Shindo are unquestionably two different philosophical and design approaches to tube powered amplification . Yet I can easily see how either choice could be a wonderful pairing with the Devore Orangutan series of speakers. I im... | |
| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T Here's the bargain of the year: Topping PA5 integrated Class D amp! Clips at 110wpc@1%. Plenty of power! The price: an astonishing $349! The pertinent question is does this low priced amplifier sound even remotely close to the well regarded e... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @ghasley Thanks for the clear and well written listening impression. After reading it I feel that I've a pretty reasonable understanding of its capabilities. Seems to be a very good match with your Shindo amplifier. Charles | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Didn’t you get the memo? @rodman99999 Today, if you dare to believe what your eyes, ears, mind and bank account tell you; there MUST be something wrong with YOU! Those, "authorities" are there to protect you from your faulty senses, broke... | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? @leahy I really like my CJ CAV45 S2, but I still want a little more of the reach out and touch them midrange that I recall from the Carys. I do not doubt that your CJ CAV 45 amplifier is serving you very well. However the "reach out and to... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten I like the placement of your Nenuphars well into the room. It provides them plenty of room to breathe and perform at their best. The amplifiers have an attractive understated elegance. Charles | |
| Original Cary 300B Monos Reliability? Agree with @russ69 , these are very straightforward well designed amplifiers that have successfully withstood the test of time. One of the primary assets of SET is their simpler circuit and relatively low part count. The Cary 300b SET would not ha... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Congratulations! Charles | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? @fleschler Please correct me if you think amps should have both zero global and zero internal negative feedback As wth nearly all things concerning audio it just depends. NFB will decrease the amplifier output impedance and increase damping f... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @debjit_g Thanks, appreciate the photographs. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @larryi I do wish to hear them with a warmer tube amp, like a 6L6 or KT 66 amp. The are efficient enough for a single ended triode to at least be in the contest. @david_ten drives his Nenuphars to magnificent results paired with 2A3 SET mo... |
