| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Tweed,Tubegroover makes two really salient points, 1 Proper speaker and amplifier mating is mandatory, it truly is the metaphorical marriage. A high quality tube amplifier can sound poor with the wrong speaker choice. 2 There are definitely tube ... | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada Well it seems as though he (Frank) is quite accessible via email and he is very busy building speakers for customers. So it appears that orders are being placed and fulfilled. This is the classic one man operation predicament. No doubt he could ... | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada Can't argue with Wolf's assessment of the web site quality . However by all accounts I'm aware of the speakers sound just beautiful and are very easy to drive. I'd put up with the former to get the latter 😊.Charles | |
| DENAFRIPS Terminator and Schiit Yggdrasil Evaluation and Comparison I share the sentiments expressed above. This is a well written and prepared review that clearly details the differences between the 2 DACs and their individual sonic characters. The Terminator is it would seem a superb sounding DAC. Excellent r... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Autospell strikes again, in the final paragraph should be overall subtle "distinctions" not destinations. | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Hi Bill, Thanks for the thoughtful and clear description of your 2 audio systems. I can understand not wanting to move equipment around if it isn’t a simple task. Your summary of the 2 respective amplifiers is on the mark. I had an opportunity to ... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? George is is a honest and straightforward person. I bough my EMLs and Elrogs from him. He firmly stood by me and provided excellent customer service during my Elrog failure episodes. Charles | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Jcarcopo,I tried the EML meshplate in my Frankenstein several years ago. The operating points(O.P.) in this amplifier are too demanding for this more delicate 300b and so durability is poor. If a 300b amplifier is gentle in terms of O.P. then the ... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... Hundreds of threads on this topic over the years with hundreds more to come. As most here will likely concede either choice is capable of producing very good sounding components, that has been my experience. If I could only have one I would choose... | |

| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Bill,Well you do have 2 very fine audio systems to enjoy when some struggle to develop just one. Of course you know how I value your listening impressions and perspectives. What are the essential differences (If any) you hear between the 2 systems... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Hi Bill,It good see a post from you, it reminds me of the of the good old days on this forum 😊. To be fair you just might find the Elrog superior and may prefer it based on your own comparison. The Elrog certainly is a excellent sounding tube with... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Hi jacarcopo, I glad to hear that the current Elrogs are seemingly more durable compared to the earlier versions I had. Despite our different Amplifiers/audio systems I find our listening impressions virtually identical. Yes I’d say that the Elrog... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Tim, We have a similar assessment of moskaudio's current audio system. The speakers are pretty decent and will respond to better quality amplifiers. The Yamaha receiver is the relative weak link in this system. Evidence is that lower level sound ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Joe,Honestly I don’t believe that a consensus of amplification has been established. Very happy DI owners have posted here and a pretty fair number of them are using solid state amplifiers with much success.As has been pointed out often on this th... |
