| Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R? Keithr, I looked up the speaker’s specifications and sensitivity is 91db and impedance load is 8 ohms with a minimum of 6 ohms. So sensitivity is really on the fringe borderline. The speaker load is a relatively easy one. Room is 14 x 16ft . If ... | |
| Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R? Both of these 300b SET amplifiers are very highly regarded and receive universal praise. It does seem though that the Luxman MQ 300 gets exceptionally high compliments and admiration. It is a top tier effort from Luxman who seem to have gone all o... | |
| New reviewing home for 2020 Stereo Times Hello Terry,I’ve been a pretty regular reader of the 6 Moons site for some years and I’ve notice some degree of reviewer turnover including some I really enjoyed. I was happy when you joined their reviwing staff. Alas, it apparently wasn’t meant ... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi tswisla, The Truth of the matter is that there’re no bad choices on your list as all are excellent options. Each of them will have their positive attributes and distinct signature. I believe that you’ll be very happy with the Psvane Acme but I ... | |
| Diving into the world of tubes...help needed! Hello Atmasphere,You make a compelling case for the advantages of separate audio components. Does one have to reach a certain price point for this advantage to manifest? Some advocates of integrated amplifiers would say the signal path is shorter/... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps tswisla,I understand your comfort in going with Israel’s recommendation as you have established a level of trust and confidence with him. I’ve never had any problems with him x 10 years, simply none. So I believe you’d be happy with his preferred ... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps I agree with cal's assessment. I believe that Psvane is aiming to replicate what might be called the traditional/classic Western Electric character which is highly sought after by many.Some would describe the EML sound as 'modern'/extended (less... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi tswisla,Has the sound of your Frankensteins and Zu Soul Supremes evolved as you've acquired more burn-in/playing time?Charles | |
| $30K DAC in a $70K system - wise or ridiculous? I can easily accept one’s opinion that they would prefer the DCS Rossini over the Lampizator Pacific. I would not accept it as a stated given or fact simply because it isn’t. Both are highly regarded and no doubt there are happy owners of both est... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps tswisla,My 6EM7 are the original ones that came with the amplifier, GE or RCA. Not exactly sure (I’m currently out of town). Which ever they are they’ve been fine and trouble free. The 6EM7 are very long lasting tubes. Mine are 10 years old. I had... | |
| How much do you need to spend to get digital to rival analog? Raul + 2.Charles | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps i believe you tswisla as it happened to me 10 years ago. If Israel likes the Psvane 300b black glass tubes I'm sure you'll be fine.Charles | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Frogman, Okay I definitely understand your point. I'm working now but will listen to the recordings you've sumitted later tonight. As is clear I love Stitt's performing with any sax but would say at his core he's a Bop/blues alto saxophonist w... | |
| Opinions needed 10ht,Your amplifiers will be suitable matches for most of the speakers on your list but not for the Nenuphar. This very unique speaker will not perform at its potential with low output impedance/high damping factor speakers. This speaker is desig... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Frogman, You mentioned Sonny Stitt who is a musician I really enjoy, admire and listen to often. I feel that he was able to move between the alto and tenor saxophones effortlessly. He demonstrates this on the Album "Constellation" accompanied b... |
