| Dennis Had FIRE 300 B tube SET @isaacc7 I appreciate your informed post. I have never heard a Dennis Had SET/SEP amplifier but I do not doubt that they sound terrific! Charles | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs @lynn_olson , Your detailed (And well written) explanations are greatly appreciated. It heightens one’s admiration for the decision making, knowledge, skill and simply hard work required to design and build very high quality excelle... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs It also has 6 dB of negative feedback. That isn't necessarily bad, but our amp project has zero feedback and you can tell. So again, they have made a nice compromise with good tubes, obviously good parts and a bit of feedback Do... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT Thanks @nonoise That is an impressive looking transport. Another High End European CD transport utilizing the Stream Unlimited CD Pro-8 drive . This is why I've viewed the RS2T as a "" relative " bargain. The other European brands with this driv... | |
| Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube? I won’t toss the baby out with the bath water. There are actually some terrific current production vacuum tubes as well as some not so terrific. I would not generalize. I have used current production EML 300b tubes in my SET mono blocks for many y... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT @fastcat95 Wise choice for Schitt. Gryphon, Audionet, Aqua HiFii (La Diva MK II) and Acustic Arts Audio have all chosen the latest Stream Unlimited CD PRO CD-8 top loading drive mechanism/assembly unit. Charles | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT @cdc I believe that the main distinguishing attribute contributing to the high level of sound quality by the RS2T is the utilization of the Stream Unlimited CD PRO-8 top loading drive unit with its integrated Blue Tiger servo. I strongly suspect... | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT I don't believe that all wall wart SMPS (Switching mode power supplies) are the same. Like literally everything concerning audio it depends on the level of execution/implementation. The Pro-Ject RS2T transport comes standard with a wall wart powe... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @stuartk I can’t argue with this -- it makes perfect sense, given your priorities! Agree again. Absolutely depends on one’s objective and desires. I can easily see some people preferring an open floor plan design. Just not the better soluti... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint @stuartk I prefer actual rooms -- I like being enclosed within a discreet spaces. My idea of a living room is not simply furniture grouped on an area rug, like an island floating within a large, undifferentiated space. The "open space" concep... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @mahler123 Agreed!!! +2. Very well put. Charles | |
| Ruminations On CD Players @facten Best of luck with whatever decision you make. And, no need to be swayed from staying with CDs by the streamer crowd. Enjoy spinning! I do in 2 systems Indeed! The obligatory streaming audio recommendations are endemic (These da... | |
| Music exposure observation @simao And yes, finances do indeed play a huge part; likely one of the major perpetuating causes of the narrowing niche of hi-end audio. Still, how many persons/families/couples in all three generations (B/X/M), quite content with simple blue... | |
| Music exposure observation I hate the thought of being around to see who wins the shortest attention span and how they do it. Soon, we'll be back to grunting and gesturing in order to communicate. Those with ADD will end up ruling the world, which is appropriate since th... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs I thoroughly understand your rationale with preference for current production tubes. The 6EM7 is inexpensive and lasts me 10-12 years with heavy usage. As mentioned before, I was just picking the brains of you and Lynn. I have zero dou... |
