| Total System Gain Question @cleeds is correct in that you can’t determine/calculate the amplifier output power (Watts) based on the information provided by the OP.Cha | |
| Jazz Music Question "Motor City Scene " Is quintessential Hard Bop. Excellent suggestion @qdrone. The first cut is a ballad played by Donald Byrd (Trumpet). The rest are bluesy bop. I've had this recording for many years and still listen to it often. Excellent line u... | |

| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Steve Guttenberg finding the Pro-Ject CD Box transport better sounding than the Jay's Audio transport is consistent with numerous listening impressions posted on this informative thread. @kully560, Your listening impressions mirror the others offe... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? David,I can't imagine that you could possibly go wrong with either choice. Viva does possess that special beautiful Italian musical aura. Charles | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? David, The Woo Audio 300b amplifiers have been well regarded for quite some for both sound quality and built quality. Mundorfs are very well regarded. I have to believe that those higher quality coupling capacitors and power supply capacitors wou... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @facten,Yes I saw that via @wig's link above. Agree probably a low risk scenario. I just wonder if Pro-Ject would use this as a reason for non supporting warranty issues if they should arise. Just openly speculating. Charles | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? @sns, Thanks, I will read the 6Moons review. I would not be at all surprised if the mesh plate versus solid plate Linlai Elite 101D preference is tied to particular audio systems and components in use, simply synergy factors. Interesting in this i... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Hi @wig,Much appreciation for that. Obviously the LTA linear power supply is a very high quality unit. Any confirmation or concern about possible voided warranty coverage from Pro-Ject if alternative brand power supplies are utilized?Charles | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport Given the feedback on this thread it seems indisputable that a linear power supply is superior to the stock wall wart power supply for the Pro-Ject CD Box transport. Does anyone have any idea how the LTA power supply compares to Pro-Ject’s own l... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? @sns, I owned the first generation of the Elrog 330b. Beautiful sounding but alas unreliable (3 tube failures in 1 year). If they have truly solved the early failure issue then I believe that you'd be happy with them. Takatsuki was excellent as w... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? @sns, Thanks for sharing your listening comparison of the Linlai Elite Mesh 101D and the Psvane W.E Replica 101D. I've been using the Psvane W.E Replica 101D for about 6 or 7 years and it has been excellent. I was unaware of the Linlai 101D but ... | |
| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport @wig,Thank you for taking the time to express your listening impressions. Your comments along with those of @bigkidz has caught my attention. If I do decide at some point to replace my current CD transport, the Pro-Ject RS2T is the very likely des... | |
| SET vs Push-Pull (Line Magnetic vs Primaluna) @making,At your typical listening levels of 70-75 db at your listing distance you are not even using 1 watt of power, just fractions of a watt. Your listening levels are very comfortable and satisfying for most anyone not suffering with a hearing... | |
| SET vs Push-Pull (Line Magnetic vs Primaluna) No question an audition is the ideal scenario if it can be arranged. As I wrote earlier the demonstration rooms at the Venetian Hotel were pretty good size and with probably 10 or 11 foot ceiling height. The 50 watt PSET amplifiers -Crescendo sp... |
