| 300b lovers Thanks @lynn_olson Here is a bit of information/listening impressions of the Roger Modjeski 6EM7 amplifier from a past Audio Circle thread. https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=29587.0 Charles | |
| 300b lovers Hi @alexberger Understood for certain. Given the extensive backgrounds of Don and Lynn I was just curious if they had any hands on experience with the 6EM7, that’s all. Charles | |
| 300b lovers @alexberger Thanks for the information. I know that the late Roger Modjeski though highly of the 6EM7 and actually built a 2 watt SEP amplifier using it as the output power tube. No doubt that there are a variety of options to very sufficiently ... | |
| 300b lovers Any opinion on the 6EM7 as a driver tube for a 300b? I use a zero feedback 300b SET that has this configuration. I’m not an electrical engineer but can attest that it sounds splendid! 😊 Charles | |
| Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp @paul_lindemann Your post yesterday really caught my attention. When I had decided to explore the world of SET amplifiers the Wavelength and Wyetech (Also Viva) were very much under serious consideration. I do not doubt for a moment that I would... | |
| Guttenberg reviews Volti Razz @jond I certainly trust your ears and judgment. No doubt that combo you heard sounds terrific! Charles | |
| Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp @paul_lindemann That is quite the compliment given that list of very distinguished tube amplifiers. I will say that if any amplifier can exploit the higher sonic potential of the upper tier 300b tube it’s the Frankenstein. This SET amplifier des... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp @kennyc +1 @lak, @charles1dad is a knowledgeable owner/user of the Coincident Frankenstein MkII. IIRC @charles1dad did not like the upgrade to MkIII, but I’m debating to get mine upgraded to mkIV. Hi Kenny I believe that you'll be quite ... | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix Thanks for providing an in depth assessment of your experience at this show. I would have loved to listen to the Raven and Blackbird pairing. Charles | |
| 300b lovers @lynn_olson Tube amps, by contrast ... the tech never becomes obsolete. For that matter, all of the tubes used in the Blackbird, and the basic circuit, were first designed in the 1930’s! Talk about not going obsolete I sincerely believe that ... | |
| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. My Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers have one tweeter capacitor (Very simple 1st order crossover). There are no resistors. The stock capacitor is Solens. The sound quality in stock form is very, ,very good. Replacing the respectable Solens cap... | |
| Shindo vs the world @ghasley Thanks for taking the time to post your comments. They are insightful and informative. I appreciate this. Charles | |
| 300b lovers @jaytor Thanks for your listening impression feedback. Very encouraging to say the least. I hope that others chime in. Charles | |
| Monitors @wolf_garcia I listen to classical stuff in my fabulous (I even have one silver cable!) system and enjoy every minute, but man...the real thing is amazingly unique. Yep!!! Charles | |
| Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps? @carlsbad2 +1!!! My listening experiences and progression through the years mirror what you have described. Without question it depends upon the specific speakers utilized. Certain designs do require/ benefit from higher power output and current... |
