| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Send Israel Blume an email or call him, he'll help you out. This is a uncommon complaint for this amplifier. | |
| Is my preamp useless? Another typical logical reply from Larry. Simply compare your system with the preamp and then running the direct stream into the amplifier and just listen and decide.you could try a relatively inexpensive passive like the Lightspeed and compare. S... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Tubegroover,Agree,, I see his point if listening to loud pop/rock via a PA set up. Live acoustic instruments without PA or speakers in use, no way, at least for me. As you say, you're drawn directly into the performance. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Hi Dinster,My listening experiences at jazz venues are very different from yours. I'd say 75-80% of the time the sound is unamplified(just pure and natural). The consistent chracteristic is how full bodied,warm, rich and colorful/vivid the various... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Ebm made a good suggestion. That may steer this thread back on its original track. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state I don't recall anyone claiming "perfect" synergy or aystem that sound 100% live. I will say that my current system composition brings me closer to the live sound and feel that I crave. People are into audio for various reasons and different object... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state I would encourage any one to listen to any component they have an interest in obtaining or if just curious. This is an open forum and we're all just sharing our various experiences. I personally don't view listening to music as a scientific exerci... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Larry,At those prices I don't blame you. Israel Blume the builder of my amplifier believes in running tubes conservatively. He runs the 300b at 25 watt dissipation, max for this tube is about 40 watts. He says tube lifespan increases and tubes run... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Electro slacker,Well stated, when the musical listening experience is emotionally involving and realistic, the mental checklist is erased and you just sit there and get involved and engaged with the music. You express the gist of this contrasting ... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Hi Csontos,I believe you and others who say they hear the desirable attributes I described for tubes in SS, personally I have not. I admit my impressions aren't universally shared. I have heard good SS amps sound better than a number of tube amps.... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Bill,I googled your amplifier and found some very interesting information regarding it on Black Swamp audio and also found a review on Posiitive Feedback Online issue number 32. Bill I really like the concept and design of this amplfier, I like... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I have a very soft hum that is heard with ears within about six inches. The irony is this, my push push amplifiers have no sound within 6 inches of the speaker yet when music is played, the SET reproduces tiny nuances and details that are totally ... | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Electroslacker,I relate to your SS to tube transition, they just sound more natural and closer to live performers. This point was made vividly clear for me as I listen to live music in my home in my case a piano and the many live Venues I attend r... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks Bill,I look forward to reading about your listening experiences with these different amplifiers. My average listening levels are 75-80db C weighted. So I realize my amplifier is only providing 1/10 to 1/4 of a watt. Most likely I'm using le... | |
| Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid Preamp upgrade A component like this is built to a certain targeted price point. As a result, the cost of parts have to be closely watched. As has been mentioned above by Dan I believe higher-quality coupling capacitors would result in much bang for the buck. Ge... |
