| The 300B World I definitely agree that NFB amplifiers need appropriate matching speakers. If this is achieved then extraordinary sound quality can be the outcome. NFB adjustment is a very reasonable and useful idea.. It would widen the range of speakers deemed s... | |
| The 300B World A typical 300B SET with zero negative feedback. Frequency response .The green line represents a simulated 8 ohm speaker.This was a Mastersound but is typical for the breed.Tube selection is unlikely to make much difference. Technically I unders... | |
| Was I Expecting Too Much @cbl117 I agree with the sentiment expressed by the above posts. Your request is very much within reason and expectations. In my opinion the store owner was quite arrogant and dismissive toward you. I’d certainly want to hear an audio component ... | |
| Ahmad Jamal passes. Oh boy, Wayne Shorter earlier this year and now the great Ahmad Jamal. Both were highly productive, innovative and marvelously gifted. Both were blessed with very long lives. Initially I always feel down when ever a notable jazz musician passes. V... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend @verdantaudio Thanks for sharing your listening impressions of the Aries Cerat Helene DAC. Word of mouth feedback across audio forums say that it’s fantastic. P.S. Is there really much DSD audio/music available? Charles | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. I do believe that some well thought out/designed grounding boxes are effective and sonically impactful. I purchased a used Tripoint Troy II about 10 or 11 years ago. It’s a permanent fixture in my audio system. Charles | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @fthompson251 Congratilns!!! A wise choice and one that I believe will keep you very happy for years. I can imagine that it’s a beautiful sonic fit with your VAC component signal chain. Charles | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @pdreher I acquired the Franks about a month ago and the Music Reference RM9 MKII has been sold to a good home. The Franks have proven to be a better match for the Altec’s, as they allow me to hear deeper into the music. Hearing deeper into t... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @glm911 Wrote, I do remember a time ago listening to a tube system and was quite taken by it, I loved the warmth of the sound and it immersed my body in a very good way, As has been noted, you’ve received very fine feedback and recommendati... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... @pdreher I took a look at your system page, very nice set up! Do you rotate between your Music Reference RM9 (Push-pull) and the Coincident Frankensteins (SET) ? I can imagine both sound wonderful (But different) driving your Altecs. No doubt t... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @jbhiller At $3k, I highly recommend the Willsenton R800i. It’s 45w SET. To get this power it has a massive transformer and weighs a ton. It has 3 inputs, remote, VU meters —not to mention it sounds lovely and robust. This is an excellent sug... | |
| New Lampizator Baltic4 or demo/used one? https://www.whatsbestforum.com/ | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @dcpillai Thank you for providing the review link. I’ve been sidetracked with my audio streaming pursuit. Since receiving my new DAC awhile back, it pairs fabulously with my Pro-Ject RS2T transport. I’ve been totally engrossed with listening to ... | |
| 2023 DAC comparison: MSB Select vs dCS Vivaldi Apex vs Wadax Atlantis Reference His store carries the DCS line because it is the best sounding product available According to who ? High End Audio is about as subjective and personal as an endeavor could possibly be. That’s terrific if you like it but proclamations aren’t app... | |
| New Lampizator Baltic4 or demo/used one? @willgolf I would ask that question to the WBF guys. There are a ton of Lampi owners on that site under Digital Agreed. There’re people on WBF who are very familiar with and knowledgeable about all 3 of the models. I do not believe you will ... |
