| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @decooney That is a nice representative amplifier list and reinforces @ghdprentice listening impressions and the distinctions he heard. I realize that it depends on what type of sound performance or sonic character one is seeking. Ramp up the u... | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @ghdprentice Most likely what you like about the X350 is the slap you get because of the really fast bass… the slam. You’re not going to get that with tubes. Also, that is not real. I spent over ten years going to hundreds of concerts and that ... | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix I don’t believe that you could possibly go wrong with either of those 2 speakers. I expect your pairing to be truly excellent! Charles | |
| 300b lovers @ffzz Just look at Viva, their flagship model uses 211 as driver of 845. Thomas Mayer does the same. It’s not a show and dealing with filament for 211 (845 too) is no fun - it’s simply because 211 can share the same B+ and drive 845 well. ... | |
| 300b lovers @oddiofyl I sincerely hope that you receive the same tube longevity from your new production Western Electric 300b as I’ve gotten from the EML. Charles | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix I didn’t know that you are getting Cube Audio speakers. Which model? A good friend has had their Nenuphars for about 4 years and he absolutely loves them. He’s driven them with a Pass Labs XA 30.8 as well as a T+A amplifier to very ... | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix Thank you for your very kind words. I don’t have any experience with the Lanlai but hope that they are durable and trouble free. Yes, the EMLs are pricey, but fortunately utterly robust and reliable. I got over 11 years with my first ... | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix It is so good and refreshing to read how much you are enjoying your Don Sachs 300b amplifier. I’m on my 2nd pair of the EML XLS 300b tubes. They are superb! However, I’d trust the Lanlai 300b recommendation from Don. I am lucky in tha... | |
| 300b lovers @alexberger You make salient and pertinent points. This is why there’s such a price discrepancy/spectrum for 300b amplifiers. They range from 500.00 to 50,000.00 USD. Implementation and quality of the power supply/driver stage and output transfo... | |
| Does streaming music equate to high concert ticket prices @wolf_garcia Great musicians tour the smaller venues and do fine, are happy to get online exposure and don’t expect money for that, and that’s who should be supported. Get to that well run coffeehouse show and let Steven Tyler use somebody else... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs What I meant above is the design of the driver section of the circuit. Your amp is using a 6L6 to drive a 300b, which is a good choice. I was referring to many 300b amps that are pushing tubes like a 6SN7 to the max and barely drivi... | |
| 300b lovers @dz13 I am seriously thinking of coming to Seattle for the audio show in June. Are you going to be there every day? I’ve never been to one of these shows before. Meeting you in person (finally) and seeing your 300b mono blocks is a main motivato... | |
| 300b lovers @donsachs The prototype amps along with their matching preamp will be demonstrated at the Spatial Audio Labs room This sounds like a very exciting venture. What is your preamplifier tube? Do you prefer the LampiZator Pacific DAC with preamp... | |
| 300b lovers @whitestix I-have been an audiophile for nearly 50 years having had a boatload of electronics during that time, but I personally have never heard such a realistic presentation to my music as I am hearing with these 300b monos in my system. 300... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @gte357s All my changes are around the power source and big improvement over the bass That is wonderful news and congratulations!! I’m not surprised at all that improving the quality of your AC power resulted in better sound quality. This is ... |
