| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Well the fact that I haven't had the same tube failures with the same amplifier would suggest it isn't every Frankenstein amp. All I'm saying is how widespread might this issue be? 10,35 or 80% of all Franks? I don't know. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Wjt2005, I wonder if this problem was unique to your particular Frankenstein? I've owned mine for over 6 years and haven't experienced this issue(except for the original Elrogs). I can't speak for other Frankenstein MK II owners but I haven't s... | |
| MSB Sig DACIV plus or EMM DAC2x I'd try to hear both of these contender DACs if at all possible. I'm not certain either is better sounding than your Concert fidelity 040 DAC. You may own the better DAC now unless you're just ready for something different. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Ddriveman,It would be fascinating to compare the effects of the Elrog in your 300 SET and Berning 300b ZOTL Siegfried amplifiers, very curious about that outcome. Could be something very special. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Word of mouth from users of these fuses have resulted in universal high praise. I have the older generation SR Quantum fuses in my amplifier, Line Stage and DAC with very positive results (3 years). The Red fuse is said to be a noticeable improvem... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Scifi,It is a terrific Line Stage, every bit as good as the Frankenstein. You can email me for more detail if you'd like.Charles, | |

| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Scifi,I agree 100% with your comments concerning Georgr Lenz.Funny you mention Audio Kinesis speakers. Before settling on Coincident speakers I had seriously considered the Audio Kinesis Jazz Module speaker(92 db and 16 ohm load). Others that i... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Scifi,I've read nothing but high praise concerning the Joules OTL sound quality. I assume your speakers are pretty efficient if you're able to use the much lower power Frankenstein MK II SET. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Scifi and Mike,This is exacly why I always mention/address reliability when discussing the Elrog ER 300b. Scifi, Snowpro, Brownsfan own the same amp as I do and are hearing the same results. The same seems the case for Lampizator Big 7 and Golden ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Joe (Snowpro),I have to confess, the more I listen to the Elrogs the more I'm in near awe in what they offer. If they prove to be reliable and durable I'll consider them one of my best audio purchases ever. For people who own a high quality 300... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Brief update,So far,so good with my replacement Elrog 300bs. Dracule1, I also wish these tubes weren't so expensive so that more people could enjoy them. They are truly sublime in my amp/system. They simply make music. | |
| Calling all SET fans The main improvement of the Dynamo MK II is bigger and better transformers. Israel Blume(Coincident owner/founder) believes transformer quality is a "crucial" factor for tube amplifiers. He feels this MK II is a notable upgrade. Based on my dealin... | |
| Calling all SET fans Schubert,If your friend had issues with the Tekton I can understand your hesitance reservations. Mikirob, Brownsfan and I have very similar taste, so when one of them is enthusiastic about a product it gets my attention. There's a very long thread... | |
| Calling all SET fans Schubert,You may want to reconsider your impression of the Tekton Lore. According to Mikirob that speaker is more than just a mere rock speaker and according to his listening impressions does justice to a variety of genres of music. Just a thought. |
