| Has Linn Gone Crazy? They Stopped Making Pre-Amps I don't believe it is a matter of people innately disliking Linn. It is most probably people have found better sound quality and value with other products. It's an open marketplace with much competition. In my own experience some of the best sound... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Sorry to hear about that. I suffered no damage fortunately. I put my EMLs in the amplifier and have music again. If the replacement Elrogs fail I'm just going to stick with EML and Takatsuki. With Elrog's long history of making military spec tubes... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Update,I was deep in emotional musical bliss the other night when I suddenly lost sound in my right channel. No smoke,noise or drama, just no sound. I swapped the Elrogs left to right and there was no left channel sound. So one of the Elrogs faile... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Rob,I use the older Coincident cords and they are excellent with the family components. The TWL is also excellent with the same components. I have not heard the current Coincident cords which could be even better, who knows until you hear them.Cha... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Hi Rob,I had the chance to use a well broken in Triode Wire Lab(TWL)in my system for a while. A kind audiogon member loaned me the TWL and his Hi Diamond P3 cords(he was just curious to know my impression of them). The Hi Diamond was good but I pr... | |
| Romulus CD player-- I've owned my Yamamoto DAC since Feb 2010 and plan to keep it for a very long time. There are two versions, transistor and tube. Bill and I have the SS model. I haven't heard the tube DAC. 6 Moons did a review of both and found the same family sig... | |
| Romulus CD player-- Wisnon, I have no doubt that the Big 7 DAC sounds fantastic. I use a DHT(101D)Line Stage and a 300b SET amplifier. DHT tubes when implemented properly just seem to be able to reproduce music in a most natural manner.The Yamamoto some how, someway ... | |
| Romulus CD player-- Bill,There is actually a lot of logic in your statement concerning the Yamamoto DAC when you factor in the man behind it. Shigeki Yamamoto made/earned his reputation via his SET amplifiers and analog cartridges over a 20 year period(primarily in t... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I use the original Star Sound sistrum stands beneath my mono block amplifiers and their Apprentice platforms beneath all other components and speakers. Their effect is splendid and truly improve the sound quality. I consider them mandatory in my s... | |
| Romulus CD player-- Wison,Bill (Grannyring) sold his Romulus and is currently using the Japanese Yamamoto DAC and PS Audio transport(PWT).Charles, | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Dev,I use the Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET and their DHT Line Stage.I have had these two components and the Coincident speakers for nearly 6 years and just love them.Charles, | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Tubegroover,Nice observation/comments. I agree with your perspective.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bhchung,I concur with your comparison/results. The Takatsuki isn't polite in my system, in fact it's quite dynamic. The Elrog is however more dynamic,vivid and livelier sounding in my system. The Elrog is said to have a lower "amplifying factor" c... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bill,Our music taste is different yet the Elrog conveys the essence of these indivual genres wonderfully . Germanboxers has a system of entirely different components and yet his impressions are as enthusiastic as ours. In the end I just acknowledg... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Bill,I hope tube to tube variability isn't the explanation. Elrog does extensive testing to ensure high quality control standards. I'd not want it to be the case that it's a crap shoot of getting a good pair at their premium cost. I'd be more a... |
