| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The topic of premium fuses has been discussed countless times across many audio forums. There are some manufacturers who are very receptive to their use and contribution. Here's one example of a manufacturer (Netherlands) who's well regarded in th... | |
| The 300B World @larryi I had EML meshplate 2a3s and EML solid plate tubes in my Audio Note Kageki amps (parallel SET monoblocs) and the sound was quite different--the mesh plate tubes had a more diffused sound (huge soundstage and an almost phasey sound) whil... | |
| The 300B World @larryi It might well be the case that it is the difference in transformers, or other design factors, that determine the sound and that the tubes themselves have no particular sound. But, whatever the case, I do think their are rough tendencies... | |
| The 300B World @larryi All three can sound great and can sort of flip this generalization, depending on the specific implementation. The 300b does offer a bit more power The way I view it as well. I have heard all three of these sound tremendously good if ... | |
| The 300B World @emergingsoul So what makes 300b so special? It is strictly a matter of perspective and sonic objectives. I believe that a talented and experienced amplifier designer/builder is capable of producing excellent sound quality with virtually any ... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1  @cobra1356 Long story short Fritz told me that my speakers would work just fine with the 9.5 watt Garbers. He wasn’t kidding they sound awesome. If you read this and have not really considered small 87db speakers with low watt SET’s you o... | |
| Chord DAVE DAC @kneptune Yes and this is not an uncommon occurrence. People kindly  respond with good and worthwhile recommendations. The Original poster just vanishes away. Indeed, what was the point? Charles | |
| The 300B World @alexberger Interesting that you reference Coherent Audio speakers (Made in Ontario, Canada). I became aware of them probably four or five years ago. Although I have never  heard them, word of mouth with regard to them is consistently excellent ... | |
| Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2 @eburb but “hearsay” opinions aren’t very helpful for this sort of situation. I think I’ll probably just order some Unions or Dirty Weekends so I can compare head to head. But thank you anyway! Agreed! Very good idea that I strongly encour... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? Just posted on WBF. “Hello, everyone. This is my first post on What's Best because I want you to know what is happening at Audio Research. Some of you know me since I was hire by Bill Johnson at Audio Research in 1989. I left for a few years and ... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? @mofimadness Shows how little I know. I’d assumed given Audio Reseach’s pedigree and long standing high end tenure they’d be on very solid ground financially. Charles | |
| The 300B World @alexberger I understand your sentiment. Speaker manufacturers recognize that they have to adhere to the demands and needs of current and future customers. Moderate and high power solid state amplifiers are vastly more common and popular than lo... | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? @ditusa 👍 Charles | |
| Audio Research filing for bankruptcy? @mofimadness DO NOT SEND ANYTHING IN FOR REPAIR OR UPGRADE UNTIL THIS GETS RESOLVED!!! I’ve lost several pieces through the years to this exact cause... Wise counsel from you and @onhwy61 Charles |
