| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Update,It has been suggested to me from a very trusted source that the Frankenstein amplifier would benefit in changing the cathode resistor value from 1000 ohms to 1200 ohms. This is said to lessen the stress on the cathode when the amplifier is ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Well, I willingly acknowledge The risk with this different type of 300b variant and proceeded with both eyes fully open. Other Frankenstein owners may have a better outcome with a newer batch of Elrogs, tough to say. It's such an exceptionally g... | |

| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I promised to post periodically on my 2nd pair of Elrogs, so here it is. One of the replacement tubes failed today unfortunately. The past week that channel would go silent sporadically and then sound would return. When I turned the amplifier on ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Abucktwoeighty,I agree regarding the relative preferences of fuses. I believe they are no different than any other audio component, cable or part. Certain products will inevitably mate with and sound better in some system configurations than in ot... | |
| Any comments on DAC directly to Power amp with no Hgeifman,Congratulations on your successful system implementation. You did it the right way via listening to both approaches. Using your ears and then deciding, the only way to know what suits you best. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Mike,It is interesting that the superb sonic characteristics of the Elrog ER 300b is consistent regardless of their use in a DAC or power amplifier. Your listening impressions very closely matches what I hear with them placed in my SET amplifier.... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Scifi,That's quite a compliment for the Frankenstein considering your coming off recent ownership of the highly esteemed Joule OTL amplifiers. Increased music listening engagement is the Frankenstein's best attribute in my opinion.Charles, | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks guys,These very positive comments on the SR red fuses has caught my attention, I'll be replacing my older SR fuses in the near future. Have you all found them to be directional? I plan to use them in my DAC, Line Stage and mono blocks. Gi... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes So this is my point, not everyone has had early 300b tube failure with the Frankenstein MK II. The question is how often is this problem occurring and what % of amplifiers are affected?Markus I'm glad you are having the same wonderful Franks with ... | |
| New format, dislike..... Grannyring,Exactly my concern as well, recent activity of posts placed in ongoing threads must be restored IMO.Al thanks for the suggestion, it did help but still isn't as useful as before. Grannyring (Bill) is right. | |
| New format, dislike..... Hi Audiogon,The old format had a "my discussion" that allowed me to keep up and be aware of my recent/ongoing thread participation. This appears to be gone now. I could easily follow multiple threads and respond as necessary. I'd like to see this ... | |
