| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi greenhorn20, Congratulations on acquiring the Nenuphars and thanks for sharing your very happy outcome with us here. I have no doubt at all that the Viva Solistino and Nenuphars sound positively Devine. Your have made some excellent purchasing ... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi samhvcc,I haven't heard the Jadis JA 80 but given the description of them on the Jadis web site leads me to believe that their sonic signature would be very similar to the smaller JA 30 mono blocks. The JA 80 doubles the number of power outpu... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Agree with David. It will definitely "work" with the Nenuphar. There’s certainly the possibility that it may do more than merely work and sound good as a pairing. The point is the Coda Technologies # 8 is designed as a high current capable amplifi... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? Hi jnehma1, Agree, good thread. You generated insightful commentary from some of this site's very knowledgeable and experienced members. Good information for all. When I joined Audiogon 12 years ago this type of behavior and interaction was common... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? @ atmasphere (Ralph) you say the replacement cost for the large multiple filter caps is 800 to 1200.00. Then teo_audio says 15.00 max cost per cap. Also roberjerman says these caps are quite inexpensive. Are you all referring to the ’same’ capacit... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? Hi jenehma,Maybe I’m inferring things differently than you. It seems that people are taking the time to provide context to assist you in your decision. Sometimes the best answer isn’t a ’simple ’ yes or no. The amplifier certainly has little if a... | |
| Amp repair cost — is this right? I agree with the perspective of Elliot and Jafant, well reasoned and stated.Charles | |

| Amps for driving Tekton Electron SE Hi Josh,I haven't heard the Tekton Electrons but have heard the Double Impacts (DI) and also the DI SE in a friend's home system. These are 4 ohm speakers that I found to be easily driven by my Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET mono blocks. I suspe... | |
| Desire to try tubes I will say that if the higher powered SET amplifiers are well designed and built they can sound fabulous. As others who have posted on this thread can attest to, 211,845,805, etc. can be used very successfully. I've have heard wonderfully emot... | |
| Desire to try tubes Hi needfreestuff, No stupidity, no problem. Sometimes people confuse the 845 and the 805 tube amplifiers made by Line Magnetic.in SET topology an 845 tube will yield 20 to 30 watts per channel (Depending on the chosen operation point utilized).The... | |
| Spectral audio today There’s no question that there are people who love the Spectral Audio products or they’d be out of business. Some will like their sound and some do not. This is true for every audio brand on the market. I have no motivation for any agenda. I’m si... | |
| Desire to try tubes The Line Magnetic amplifier that provides 48 watts per channel is the 805 single tube SET (805ia). In order to get 48 watts from the 845 tubes they'd have to be either in parallel SET or in a push pull circuit. The 805 is the more powerful of the ... | |
| Desire to try tubes Hi facten,Even the Line Magnetic 845 SET is a lot of power for the Kiplisch Hersey. I have no doubt that it would sound sensational. Agree that the Finale and Triode Lab brands are terrific choices as well. Dennis Had SEP amplifiers as mentioned b... | |
| Spectral audio today Keith,In regard to the sonic character of the brands you described, I've have consistently found them to sound dry, sterile, clinical and lifeless. Your summation (Dead) is impressively succinct, Charles |
