| Coincident Dragon vs Coincident Frankenstein Al,You are correct about Israel Blume's significant other, she accompanied him at numerous shows over the years. I met her at 2011 RMAF and she was quite attractive and personable. She definitely wasn't blonde. Essrand, Drdavid and Jimmy pang have... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan001,That's an interesting comparison of those two very different tubes. I use the W.E. Replica 101D in my line stage and it's superb in that function. It's a thrill having both of these tubes in the same signal path working together.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Lak,They're 1099.00 USD pair. I bought mine at tubesusa.com. Demand seems greater than the current supply at this time. Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes The longer I've live with and listen to the Elrog ER 300b the more I recognize how wonderful this tube is. The past few weeks I've been able to listen to quite a bit of music and it has been a truly enjoyable time. The sole purpose of Elrog it see... | |
| Shindo Aurieges and Bel Canto M1000 Bill,I understand the point you're making regarding the compatibility between the Shindo preamp and the Bel Canto amplifiers. I do believe you would get more of what the Shindo has to offer with a more suitable power amplifier. I do not mean to im... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I'm not a technical person and don't claim to be. Everything I've read up to this point has stated the Elrog is a direct replacement for the 300b as they matched the filament current and voltage requirements. I accepted this as fact and had no log... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Based on your continued highly positive and enthusiastic comments it seems quite apparent that your Audio Note kit amplifier is an excellent match with your current speaker. There is no reason for you to rush into another pair speakers at th... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dmarkov,In terms of specs (filament current and voltage) the Elrog is a drop in replacement. In terms of "sonically" matching, this will be an individual determination (as it should be). As with recommeations I've made to you and anyone else, they... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes This again illustrates what I've always known. No matter how impress one person may be with a particular product there will always be someone else who finds it disappointing. It's just the way things go with subjectivity issues.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Gary Unfortunately part of the problem is Elrog has much more demand for their tubes than they ever had anticipated. They just aren't able to keep up with all of the requests, this is really a small specialty German tube making manufacturer. Gary.... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Dmarkov In my assessment and comparison of the Elrogs I made it a very clear point to emphasize the baseline excellence of the Takatsuki and EML. I also mention that no matter how good a tube is it will always be amplifier and individual listen... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Bill,I don't want to hijack this thread any more than I already have, sorry. Bill I have a question for you that I will post on my system page regarding the Yamamto if you don't mind.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,,I paid full retail price for my Yamamoto DAC 5 years ago, it remains one of the very best audio purchases I have ever made.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi Bill,My gut feeling was a successful outcome with your Monaco 845 SET once I learned more about it. I really like the approach of conservative voltage stress on the output tubes backed by a strong power supply. It's good to read that you are so... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Brownsfan (Bill),It's very interesting to note that you, Rebbi, Rob and the speaker's builder cite the terrific results of 300b or SEP with the De Capo. This in spite of the warnings that the speakers demand more power. Well your Cary and Rebbi's ... |
