| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Inna,I understand your position as this debate is discussed to the point of Ad nauseam (and this is unlikely to change). So in this case we respectfully agree to disagree. Both sides of this argument have plenty of company 😊😊. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi David,If your amplifier is relatively easy on the 300b tube I believe that you’ll be happy with the EML mesh plate. This version of the 300b is a bit more delicate than the standard tubes. I heard them for a few weeks in my amplifier and the so... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers No,I don't believe that anymore, if so I would return to a turntable again. Both formats can be setup to sound superb and I can enjoy both equally well. My opinion only, I know how heated this topic often becomes with analog aficionados 😊. I list... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hi Inna,Jazz is my passion, live venues (2 to 3 times a month for about 25 years) and of course recordings. I was quite an analog dieheart for many years. Six years I’ve have my digital front end and it has been enormously satisfying, so no looki... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,I really like Zoot Sims and I don't have this recording (stumped😊).Thank you, Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Wow! Boy do we have similar taste. I've owned "Motor City Scene " for about 10 years. This is excellent and classic hard bop music played by musicians who were masters of that idiom. This is truly one of my favorite jazz recordings. You go... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? Sounds real audio,I realize that there’s more to an amp/preamp performance besides the type of tube it uses, however you raise an interesting point. Each tube has it's own sound character that can be affected by other aspects of the component (des... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Yep, I have that and it’s very good. Another fine one from him is "Merry Olde Soul". He alternates between the vibraphone and piano. As you know he was a wonderful musician with both instruments. Charles, | |
| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) Cerrot, I understand your point. Keep in mind that some will say that the Criterion midrange is merely added coloration from an active preamplifier. The sterility you describe is transparency to others. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Inna,I will tell you that timing, musical pace,flow and drive are strengths of my SETamplifier be it small bands or larger combos. But again I don’t know what SET amplifiers you’ve used or are familiar with. As with any other genre of components t... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Inna,I can’t honestly say that I know your musical/listening taste, rather I recognize that you prefer amplifiers of a certain power range. My taste is unambiguously towards the natural/organic sound with tactile realism.The Concert Fidelity... | |
| Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?) Tomcy6,Agree! In theory "less parts" should equal better sound. In reality it doesn't always work out that way. Must be determined individually case by case.An absolute "case closed" rarely if ever applies to audio/sound quality issues.Charles, | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Larryi,I'll stray off topic one last time 😊. One of the very best sounding SS amplifiers I've heard are the Concert Fidelity ZL 120 and their ZL 200. This little known Japanese products sound absolutely fabulous. They're hardly ever written or t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,The great vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson passed away last week. He and Milt Jackson are probably my favorites of the top tier players. I really like Victor Feldman also. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,I'm a fan of Hubbard's trumpet playing and I love the vibraphone (I'm only familiar with Buddy Montgomery as a pianist). Can't wait to listen to this recording. Thanks again. Charles, |
