| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @atmasphere IIRC, your SET uses a 300b. You might find it interesting to hear a class A PP zero feedback amp using the 300b. In that way variables are eliminated, all of which affect the distortion and therefore the 'sound'. Yes my SET does. ... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? I just cannot seem to go back to my Accuphase A-70 after the purchase of the A40. I just enjoy listening to it. Is it because it is the new toy, perhaps. It is just more listenable than the solid state amp I genuinely believe that with audio/mu... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp @atmasphere SET guys won't like this of course, but I challenge any one of them to a simple set of questions: When did you compare to a PP amp of the same power? Barring that, did you compare to a PP amp using the same power tubes and construct... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk Your explanation/distinction and rationale is clear (At least to me). Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @bernardo I believe that The Music Room is reputable and trustworthy. I’m interested in your listening impressions with your RS2T if you are so inclined to post them. Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @bernardo The unit I am considering is less than one year old and has been checked out by the seller and verified to function correctly This is a key point. If you have received reliable confirmation that this unit is functioning properly and... | |
| Integrated SET... @audiojan Coincident is interesting but I don’t believe they make an integrated amp… Their 300b Frankensteins offer no integrated amplifier version. Their Dynamo integrated amplifier is available either as an el34 SEP or Higher cost 300b SET.... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? @waltersalas Maybe other Synthesis owners are experiencing a bigger gap in performance than I seem to be between their external DAC and Synthesis' own built in DAC, but when Larry says it's formidable, that's no joke The LampiZator Baltic 3/4... | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? @next8 Just for fun, I’m going to demo the AN Soro se signature tomorrow largely because I want to hear how it sounds with AN speakers. I’m sure it will be great but how will it compare to the A100T? We shall see. This could be a very compell... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @jaybe The Holo May is highly regarded and should pair well with the RS2T. I can’t think of a reason why this would not be the case. The Fidelizer Nikola II is overbuilt in my opinion. I’ve had mine on 24/7 since purchased in January 2022. Not ... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @jaybe What DAC will you be using? I feel confident that you’ll be impressed with the RS2T. Here’s a comprehensive linear power supply review you may find very helpful. https://audiobacon.net/2021/08/06/the-worlds-best-audiophile-linear-power-s... | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Many good tube candidates in the hands of talented builders and attention to implementation. I will say that the 300b is a superb tube and has served me splendidly. Charles | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Correction I’ve had the EML XLS tubes over 10 years (purchased in 2012). Charles | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? @spratan I have nothing but high praise for the EML tubes, they sound amazing and are beyond reliable in my opinion. 100% agreed. I just replaced a pair of the EML XLS 300b after 12 years of very frequent usage in my 300b SET mono blocks. They... | |
| Power Cable for CDP @soix For what you’re looking for I’d recommend LavriCable power cords that are made from pure 5N silver and are an exceptional value IME Agreed. If the goal is to achieve an open, airy, pure and transparent sonic presentation then the Lavric... |
