| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi Al,Oh yes, thanks for that recommended CD as I really enjoyed listening to it.First off I'll admit that I don't listen at the same volume and peaks as you're accustomed to and relish. However I found this recording very exciting and engaging du... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet,Exactly! You and Rob make my point. Time to retire the SET limitation cliches.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi Tubegroover,Thanks for your kind comment concerning my system. I clearly understand your point and actually agree with you in regard to what's required to make an informed decision. Everyone doesn't listen to symphonic orchestral music so I don... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,I listen to big band recordings fairly regularly and believe me the SET is fine and preferable to my PP tube amp I mentioned in an earlier post. The is no single type of amplifier that is the best for all genres of music, I don't care ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I would say that SET oawners listen at levels they prefer just as owners of non SET amplifiers choose to do. I didn't listen at higher sound levels when I used Solid state or tube push pull, 75-85 db was simply loud enough for me in my home. We al... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,That is the beauty of constructing and developing your home audio system, it is what sounds best to your ears and not to others. There are no gurus when it comes to deciding what suits you best, this is something we all must decide for ourselv... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi Rob,You asked the pertinent question, how loud do you listen?My Coincident Total Eclipse II are 94 db at 14 ohms. I initially drove them with my 100 watt push pull (60 watt in triode) KT 88/6550 tubes. This was a really good sounding match. You... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Joe,I received a message from George this morning asking if I could have someone measure my amplifier's plate voltage. This may have preceded him contacting you. If he can do your Frankenstein himself that's ideal. I also greatly appreciate his ef... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi Rebbi,How were the Lores in comparison to the DeCapo with your SET? Did the higher efficiency of the Lore matter?Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Joe(Snopro)Well you know my high regard for TAK and EML. The Elrog is very good "out of the box" and keeps improving with time. You may ultimately prefer the TAK in your system. In my case the Elrog was even more communicative of musical soul and ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Jet,Wise observation and advice. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Jeff,Yes, the problem has been discovered and competent people will correct it. George Lenz of tubesusa.com has been very responsive with me and in direct/frequent communication with Elrog, so I'm in good hands. They won't ship the new Elrogs unti... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Matthia,I do appreciate your good attitude and knowledge. I can't wait to get these new modified Elrogs, what a sound you all have developed. Thanks.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Al,Yes, that type of selection/testing for suitable tubes for the VAC is what Elrog will do for certain amplifiers to match the operation points. This to ensure a successful 300b and amp match. This is a smart move. Al your system must sound reall... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Matthias,I do recognize that the Elrog is an excellent tube. The issue is the parameters/operating points of my particular amplifier. I'm very confident that I'll get a replacement pair that will work fine(now that the issue has been identified) a... |
