| Tekton Double Impacts Hello jcarcopo, Let me know if the new production Elrogs 300b prove to be reliable , obviously this will take time to determine. Ìt is a fabulous sounding tube in my amplifier but unfortunately unreliable. This reportedly has been resolved with th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Chris, It seems that once again our ears hear similarly. I use the EML XLS as an output tube in my amplifier. You’re using this tube as a driver tube in your amplifier and we have the same listening impressions of it. I’m beginning to believe t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Vitop, I agree with you in that preferences can cover one end of the spectrum to the other. I hardly consider myself the arbiter of establishing any sort of sound quality standard. I just know what "I" like. It seems that Chris, Mac and I have ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello David,Here’s my background. I grew up in a very music oriented family, I played trumpet beginning at age 10, my mother, both grandmothers and a brother played the piano and another brother played the trombone. There was much live music in ou... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David, After many years of predominantly analog records I've been exclusively Redbook CD front end for the past 8 years and very happy I might add. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Chris,Interesting your comments about the VAC Renaissance 70/70. I first heard that amplifier many years ago and was instantly smitten, it made instruments and human voices sound real and alive. In those days I was early in my career and had a wif... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Chris, When you speak of "breath of life " that is an excellent summation of my experience/journey as well. I once owned a Symphonic Line amplifier which is a highly regarded German transistor power amplifier. I enjoyed my time with it yet in t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli,Chris (Waltersalas),Has owned very good components including fine SS amplifiers. He is an experienced listener with good ears. I’d find it rare for a SS amplifier to match the pure naturalness and emotional involvement of his LM 508ia. Of ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Walter, Thank you for such a well written and insightful listening comparison of what I believe are two excellent speakers. The Daedalus Ulysses is a known standard of high achievement and deservingof the high regard it's held in. This is why... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Walter,Do you have any further listening impressions regarding the Double Impacts and the Line Magnetic 508ia? This combo is very intriguing. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny,Double Impacts replacing the Zu DEF IV is interesting as that speaker has many happy owners on this site. There's quite a long ongoing audiogon thread regarding that speaker. Charles | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Thanks Jond, Frequent attendance in live jazz clubs over the years (and a piano in our home) has conditioned the ears to natural sound. At least this is what I’ve come to believe. 😊Charles | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Hi Jond, No doubt that we all have our specific experiences and outcomes, exactly why I wrote IMHO. I’d rather have an excellently implemented Pentode push pull type tube amplifier than a mediocre DHT amplifier. If both of them are executed to a h... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? Kenny,Yes, there are definitely good choices available for the 300b tube. Disadvantage compared with many other output tubes is that the 300b can get pretty expensive. When I was using KT 88, 6550 and el 34 tubes with former amplifiers they were m... | |
| Psvane 300-B Tubes ? ? ? I have heard the Sophia mesh (actually a perforated plate rather than a true wire woven mesh) in my system and it's quite different sounding than the EML. I can clearly understand why one would prefer one or the other. Numerous variables of the l... |
