| Ocellia Silver Reference Interconnects Hi Jet,Yes, I understand your situation. Both brands do share a reputation for similar qualities/character. I had seriously considered the Japanese Kondo silver cables. I found a thread on this site where a former dealer of both brands said he and... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bill and Al,Good points. I think I'll just wait for my replacement Elrogs from George and go from there. What's the point in having premium tubes and degrading the sound with a variac.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Al,You raise a valid point regarding the narrow recommended range for AC power.For sake of argument do you believe using a variac and keeping the AC between say 115-120 to go "easier" on the Elrog 300b(to enhance tube life) is reasonable?Thanks... | |
| Ocellia Silver Reference Interconnects Sal,That's an impressive list of ICs you have owned. IMO The best attribute that stands out regarding the Ocellia is its pure natural sound. Relative to it, most other cables sound more toward a "hifi" sound. Ocellia just seems to get out of the w... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Al and Joe,Thanks much! These measurement findings do suggest that the Elrog tube should be fine in the Frankenstein amplifier. Al your selected 300b tubes must be vefy rugged to tolerate the parameters in your amplifier and provide the durability... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Al, In your opinion given the values that George measured, do you feel these represent a high stress level on the 300b tube or more of a moderate level? The heat dissipation levels measured by George are higher than the 26 watts that Israel cit... | |
| Ocellia Silver Reference Interconnects Hi Nonoise,For clarification I haven't used or heard the Belden or the Western Electric NOS cables. Various people on this site seem to be very impressed with them however. I truly adore the Ocellia but there are so many cable brands available tha... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks JoeNeedless to say I am curious to learn the results.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks Joe, I'm curious to see what he measures with the Frankenstein. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps David We all here are certainly entitled to our various opinions. But I fail to see any nefarious motive in Rebbi's postings on this forum. In fact I think it's likely educational and informative for those who have come upon it. I'm certain folks... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Bill,What amplifier was driving the Tonianspeakers that you heard recently? I have never heard them myself but they have a reputation for exceptional sound. I do know how important synergy can be in regards to the overall sound.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Okay I see your point and that is a valid question.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,I for one certainly did not take your description as a put down of Mapman's amplifier. These amplifiers could in fact sound very fine, your distinctions were understandable in my viewpoint. The presence or "thereness factor " make all ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Crubio Other than the Elrogs I am not aware of any other tube that has been an issue for the Frankenstein amplifiers. Due to its thoriated filament different parameters were necessary for the Elrog 300b that deviate from the Western Electric stan... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,Well stated words of wisdom and experience. Charles, |
