| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Thieliste, You have multiple good choices available as the suggestions youâre receiving confirm. However if you are able to have the Ypsilon pre and power amplifiers pairing , that is one very compelling direction to follow. Good luck, Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Dave,The concern is indeed sweet đ Somehow though I believe we'll be okay. I'm listening to Lee Konitz "Live At The Half Note " very nice!  Yes we'll survive just fine. Happy New Year to all, pro or con premium fuses. Charles  | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo That's an intriguing pairing of the Negra and Ypsilon, I bet it'll sound gorgeous. Â Home auditions aren't always possible to arrange, it good that you have an accommodating distributor. Â I am curious to read your listening impressions of the Ypsil... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 My hutch based solely on pedigree is that the Western Electric vintage tube in good operating condition should provide an upgrade over the stock LM tube. Speculation ? Yes but you'll settle this very soon đ.Charles | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Thiel is terrific,You have assembled a very worthy list of amplifiers. Â I've heard the D' Agostino and the Ypsilon amplifiers on 4 occasions between the RMAF and CES. Show conditions no doubt but in good rooms that were very well setup on each occ... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "Like many things in audio the raw data does not explain it all"Bill thatâs a reality I accepted long ago due to repeated listening encounters that defied "conventional wisdom " based on available technical specifications. Audio truly is a mixture... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Meiatflask, It can become somewhat complex when comparing different types of amplifiers due to the multiple variables involved. Yet at times one can make general statements that have merit based on observation and experience, they just arenât abso... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Meiatflask, I own a 40 watt push pull el34 and an 8 watt 300b SET amplifier. With the SET your speaker "must" be compatable meaning higher sensitivity and certainly easy load impedance. If you have the right speaker match the 300b is the superior ... | |

| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hello Ross,Youâve mistaken me for someone else, I didnât post that statement. The only Triode Corp product I've had direct experience with and knowledge of is the "TRX" M 845 PSET amplifiers which I have heard on several occasions. Â In my opinion ... | |

| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp The more expensive Freya most likely has better quality power supply and parts.  These 2 aspects are crucial in determining the ultimate sound quality.  This could be a case of  additional money well spent. Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Nyame,I agree that the more upgrading of fuses in oneâs audio system the greater the impact on sound quality. Given the the innate caution or skepticism people have towards fuses(or tweaks in general) most arenât willing to commit to this degree. ... | |
| Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts? Hello Gary,I'm relieved to report that the Elrog tube failures did not harm my amplifiers at all. I know that the magnificent Takatsuki 300bs  are serving you well đCharles |
