@nonoise  Okay, I got it. Many on this forum love the convenience and accessibility of audio streaming. I was curious about your level of temptation and interest to give it a try. You’ve clearly explained your position. Charles

Mick Jagger:  I’m so saddened by the passing of my wonderful friend Tina Turner. She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never fo...

@cloudsessions1 Are you guys going to be at the pacific audio fest? I’d love to come hear your Class D amps and hear how it compares to the 300b statement monos That would be terrific!! Even if not heard in the same system. Still worthwhile t...

A very great and iconic career that originated from the most humble of beginnings .  An authentic American success story if there ever was one. R.I.P. Charles

@cloudsessions1  I have a purifi amp and it couldn’t hold a candle to the original 300b statement prototype. I love new class D as when you get the synergy right I find it to top any SS class AB I’ve heard. But the 300b just makes everything rig...

@donsachs I wouldn’t own an inefficient speaker because I would be doomed to SS amps, and I hate the sound of solid state devices It seems that the latest generation class D/GAN may be addressing this. Time will tell. Charles

@donsachs I would stick to speakers that are 88+ dB and very well behaved. The spatial audio X4 current model is 88 dB 4 ohm (and very well behaved) and the amps will happily drive them to ear splitting levels in reasonable room As @atmasph...

@lynn_olson  Surprisingly, the 300B survives this gross abuse with no apparent damage, not something I expected. Well as you said earlier, Bell Laboratory and Western Electric knew what they were doing. 90 years later and it's still very m... 
Monitor Stands - Made of Stone
@69zoso69 But after putting in many hours reading papers on thermodynamics, cymatics, and seismology, talking to representatives at both companies, reading/listening to reviews, and employing a little common sense I’ve landed in LVA’s camp Yo... 
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
@audiojan  the Coincident’s are just more organic and natural. Significantly better low end and depth of soundstage. I would think the stereo amp is very similar  I have not heard the Willsenton 300b SET amplifier. I do agree with the above de...

@lynn_olson IT-coupled PP DHT’s have a power and majesty unlike anything else in audio. Bell Labs and Western Electric knew what they were doing back in 1935. A compelling point. I do believe that if implemented properly the DHT tubes are dif...

@whitestix  He clearly knows the sonic splendor of 300b gear.   Sonic splendor is true. 300b SET mono blocks owned since 2009 and as happy with them as I’ve ever been. Listening to the great jazz guitarist Barney Kessel as I write. Reading the...

I just put another CD into the player and hit "play". Never fails. All the best, Nonoise Hi, Doesn’t your Technics unit allow you to audio stream? Are you not curious/tempted by the vast music library available via your fingertips? Charles
