| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? Ghosthouse this would be very educational for me. I’d rate my jazz knowledge 8.5/10 and continually expanding. Classical music 2/10 , much room for growth😊. Brownsfan where are you?Charles | |
| Do classical CDs made from early analog tapes sound better on your system than new CDs? Rvpiano, Between you, Al and Schubert, you 3 could certainly get it off to a good start.Charles | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? I’m in the same boat as Trelja , natural tone and timbre seem the limiting factor for many systems/components. This is the bottleneck more so than dynamic range which is the next most limiting factor IMHO. The addition of a certain hardness or "ed... | |

Nearly 5 years old, over 10,000 posts and it remains interesting, insightful and thought provoking.

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Cordlli,Everything I’ve read or heard about the Audio Note Kit 300b SET has been positive. It as you note uses double C core output transformers (as does the Frankenstein ) these are held in very high regard. My gut feeling is that this amplifi... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Aric, I really appreciate your technical explanations and insight on this forum as they’re consistently educational. Your comments regarding the 6SN7/6SL7 tubes caught my interest. In my Frankenstein 300b SET the builder chose the 6EM7 as the i... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Danoroo, Those specification numbers will reveal very little in regard to component sound quality. You must listen and judge by what you hear. Again I find myself agreeing with the wisdom of Jond.I once owned a Symphonic Line which is a highly reg... |
