| In need of amp upgrade suggestions The NAT SETs have excellent word of mouth reputation for sound and rugged built quality and should work well with your speakers. I'd look at an 845 SET such as Line Magnetic 219 and the Coincident Turbo. Both have very reasonable pricing with very... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Fliz,I can attest that the premium fuses do make a difference in my system You can remain doubtful or try some in your system and listen and decide. I no longer try to convince people (waste of time endeavor) about the merits of audio products.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've decided to buy the SR Red fuse. I need 4 fuses (2 mono blocks, Line Stage and DAC). For the cost different between the AH and the SR (27.00 USD X 4 =108.00), I'll use that savings and purchase an Avatar Acoustics After burner AC wall outlet. ... | |
| Start of tube rolling series on my blog Hi Rebbi,I have to agree with AL, I always enjoy reading your blog and also your posts on this site. I look forward to your impressions of the 300bs. This is one tube I've had much experience with over the past 6 years. Some pf them can get rather... | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? wcc10,You have received some very good responses here. Al gave you the definitive answer,= your speaker is designed to be driven by a transistor amplifier. Small, inefficient and striving to produce bass(via low impedance). I'm a tube guy but tube... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Larry,I had the EML mesh 300b in my Frankenstein for about a 3 week period a few years ago, Its sonic character was just as you described, very open, airy yet delicate and nuanced. I really liked that tube. Jet is right however, it didn't las... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Given my sucess with the SR Quantum fuses the past few years The SR Red would have been my next move. All reports say they're better than the Quantum. Wig and Jazzonthehudson have made direct comparisons and favor the AH over the Red. More so for... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wig,You have me curious about the AH fuses relative to the SR Red fuses. I likely can't go wrong with either. Your direct comparison in your system got my attention. By the way I'm familiar with your speakers and think highly of their sound via a ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Joe,Hopefully the cathode resistor swap will be the answer, only time will tell. The EML XLS is a terrific tube and the past two nights they have provided me with very enjoyable listening sessions without question.Although in direct comparison... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bill,Man, I'm so happy you and your wife reached your goals and are able to live out your dreams. This is what good planning and determination lead to. I know how good it feels to exercise and get back in physical shape, there's no downside to th... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Tom,You can get them from Parts connexion.com, they're in Canada.Bill,Your use of the PS 10 is a very good decision.I'm glad you're able to fulfill your goal of hiking in the mountains of Tennessee. Six pounds of belly fat in a week? That's some s... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Jet,I'm going to use the Mundorf wire wound resistors,1.2K ohms/25 watts, 2.50 USD each. There weren't many choices in these higher watt range. Lots of choices in the lower .75 -5 watt range. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Jet and Al,Following my earlier post I spoke with George and he also suggested a larger value watt rating resistor would be fine even though the amplifier uses a 10 watt cathode resistor. 20 watts it will be! Thanks gentlemen for valued input.Brf,... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Jet, The resistor needed is 1,2K ohms/10 watts. Yes, as you say raising the resistance(slightly in this case) lowers the "turn on" stress on the 300b.I'm looking forward to doing this and will see what happens. George contacted me this morning... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Jetrexpro, You have much hands on experience with parts and modifications (along with Grannyring and . Do you have any particular recommendations for cathode resistors?Thanks,Charles, |
