| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Wyan001,I know of others who tried Tak, EML and AVVT 32SL like I've done. As expected the ranking order varies amongst the listeners. As a group I felt that all three of them were excellent 300b options. I wasn't sure if the Elrog could exceed ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dracule1,That purchase was 4 1/2 years ago and don't recall any import duty(it may have been factored in the cost I paided). The tubes were much less buying from them than Axiss who was the American importer at that time.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I bought my Takatsuki pair direct from Japan with the 2 year warranty intact. My source was audio@amtrans.co.jp, this was done in 2011. I believe Gary(Gsm18439) used them as well to buy his pair. I don't know for sure if they're still a source pre... | |
| Any HE Speakers with Sonus Faber Sound? I agree with S1nn3r in that there's definitely variety and choices in this genre. There are numerous speakers to select from in the HE category. In addition to Sonist, here are a few more to consider. Vaughn Audio, Coincident, Tonian Labs, Audio N... | |

| Theres a firesale of the Modwrights oppo 105 units I am familiar with the sound of various ModWright modified Oppos and they are "very" good. It could certainty be the case that these owners are moving towards buying the ModWright Elyse DAC. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt,Your written descriptions of what you hear is very well done, when you describe the Isis analogy of the comfortable cabin on the mountain top, that sold me as the speaker which stirred the emotions more deeply with more appeal to the soul(wel... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt,Congratulations. I hope the Dynaudios keep you very happy for many years. You certainly put in the work and effort to reach this point.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Bill,I suspect that Jet could help you sort through the quagmire of the Audio Note speaker line up. | |
| Frankensteins or Audio Note Kit 300b Thaluza,That makes sense, 8 watts is hardly an universal solution for many speakers in the marketplace. With appropriately chosen speakers the amplifier will sing. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Isolationist by default, we're scattered all across the country/world. What choice do we have? Andrew I'd love to checkout your SOTA room. One small obstacle, I'm in Michigan and you're in North Carolina. Not exactly neighbors unfortunately.Charles, | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you Matt, I suspect your neighbor will be very happy for many years with this decision. He obviously trusts his ears and that's good. |
