| Calling all SET fans Schubert,Brownsfan is deeply devoted to classical music as you are. He's very happy with the Coincident Triumph Extreme II with an eight watt amplifier. I trust his taste and discrimination. For less money many people seem to be happy with the Tek... | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? Chayro,I am somewhat surprised the TF Pharaohs could sound thin and bad under any scenario. Makes me wonder if this was an incompatible ampler or odd listening room acoustics. You just don't know until you actually hear something yourself. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Based on my experience with 2 different pairs of Elrog ER 300bs, break-in is fairly rapid. In my system they were indeed excellent brand new. I'd say 50 hours and they're pretty much burned in. Joe(Snowpro) yes, as excellent as the Takatsuki sound... | |
| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? The Current Yamamoto North American distrubitor is Ocellia Audio in Montreal Canada. | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Hi Essrand,Thanks for replying. I get your point and will add this. As you noted the CSL is transparent to the point of being nearly invisible in the signal pathway. It is what I'd call an ultra pure signal preserver. As a result it's very sensiti... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Hi Essrand,Did the Shindo replace your CSL? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD +1 Guidocorona thoughts regarding digital and analog. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dracule1,I'm glad that you are able to finally appreciate the excellence of these Elrog tubes. | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR Larryi,We seem to hear in a very similar manner. I always enjoy your well thought out insight and impressions in these forums. | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR Pani,I'm generally partial to tubes in most cases. I however suspect that the transistor First Watt amps will outperform certain tube amps as you cited. Not every tube amplifier is a good one. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ricevs,Thanks for the informative post. Do you believe that Op amps with their NFB are a "necessary" part? Or is their impact on SQ relatively minor? I, as do most posting here believe implementation/talent is a major factor in determining the ove... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Stefan,So far my replacement Elrogs are working fine(few months) in my amplifier. More time is needed to make any declarations regarding longevity/reliability. I'm hopeful. | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR Larryi,I wonder when MAC made this manufacturing change? I am Really surprised by the use of circuit board traces for input and speaker connectors. You're right, output transformer quality was historically a strength of this brand. | |
| Amplifier for Tannoy Turnberry GR Larryi,Wow, that is some unexpected insight, that is disappointing . Although the bottom line is how does it sound? Not good based on your recent listening experience. At the very least you can say it is build very differently than the Wyetech amp... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Al,Good point, but interestingly Wyan001 and Germanboxers use the same DAC with superb results. Could system synergy partially explain it? |
