| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli, One further point, the LM 219ia and 508ia both use a 300b as the "driver" tube, thus a DHT driving another DHT (805 and the 845). this can result in a very organic and open transparent sound quality. Again it’s terrific that the DI allows... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Corelli,The 518ia is a stereo chassis 845 output tubed amp (25 watt per channel). The 508ia uses the 805 as the output tube (45 watt per channel) this is the amp used by Waltersilas on this thread.There is also the 219ia which is 845 tubed and ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello Frank,I wish you the very best outcome from this vital surgery. I believe that you'll have a speedy recovery and will return here jn no time to continue on with all of your many friends. Best Regards, Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,In addition to the amplifiers already confirmed as excellent matches for the DIs I strongly suspect that Walter's Line Magnetic 508ia will be added to this list. Much fun for sure 😃Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jond, Your Tidal streaming offers so much, see if this is available. "Tony Bennett/Bill Evans " recorded in 1975 and it’s just beautiful music. I think you’ll like it. Evan's piano accompanying is gorgeous and Bennett is in peak form. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Jason,A friend of mine did a similar Audio Horizon and SR Black fuses comparison. Generally speaking the Black fuse was uniformly excellent in all applications. The one exception was his Absolare Altius preamplifier where he preferred the Audio... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mike,Thanks for the follow up regarding the 300b SET. Concert Fidelity is a first rate company so I can imagine that amplifier sounds excellent driving the Tekton DI. Mac the only caveat about my Coincident Frankenstein MK II is it's an early ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts "This is fun" no doubt!I strongly suspect that the 10 watt 300b SET amplifier will be another sucessful match. This is the beauty and essence of having higher sensitivity and easy impedance load speakers. They allow one to take advantage of low... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Very possible the Sonist is an easier load and more compatible with SET/SEP amplifiers than the Soliloquy. Sonist was designed specifically to mate with these types of amplifiers from the very beginning. Charles | |
| Pass Labs It’s always been astonishing to me how Joseph Stalin gets a pass (relatively speaking) historically. He and Mao tse tung (China) were diabolical communist totalitarian mass murders of the first degree. Geoff your figures are correct, utterly atroc... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m surprised that the Had Inspire SEP amplifier mated to the Sonist speaker is such a large step above in SQ compared to the amplifier it replaced. Another example of the importance of power amplifier and speaker matching/synergy. The current edi... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII I don't agree with statements like "no contest" this type of hyperbole is gratuitous and really serves no meaningful benefit. No doubt that you'll have admirers of both amplifiers and happy owners. These are expensive products and should be heard... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Given the price range of these two amplifiers I'd make every reasonable effort to hear both even if it requires traveling. VAC is very popular and well respected yet you may find that the Ayon sounds better to you, listening is a must. Charles | |
| Pass Labs Jetter,For clarification I was not referring to you but rather responding to Schubert and bdp24 regarding the characterization of me/conservatives. Anyway I am not interested in the inevitable left vs right battle. For the record I'm a U.S. milit... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Walter,I'm happy for you! The Ulysses is indeed formidable, yes you're in store for much fun.Charles |
