| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring,That sounds like a very intriguing and interesting amplifier. I have a question for you, is your speaker efficient enough for a 10 W amplifier to display its beauty or does your speaker require more power? Bill, I am very interested to ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD People familiar with the sound of the Dulund CAST silver foil say it is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately so is its price. I have used the copper version of CAST and it is truly superb!Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,If you are able to hear this Pass amp, post your listening impression. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,Here's an interesting option to consider, the Coincident Turbo 845. It was given a rave review on 6 Moons(and other sites as well) recently and has roughly the same power(28 watts) as the others amps you've mentioned recently. 845 output tube... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,There's an audiogon member who recently replaced his Pass Labs INT-30A(XA30.5 with preamp function added) with the Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET,what does this suggest? Nothing other than people are moving/changing directions with audio co... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ghosthouse,You make very good points, this issue is more about political ideology than true science. That change from "global warming" to "climate change" did not go un noticed by astute observers. Once I moved away from the NPR and NY Times influ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Gary,I know Srajan Ebaen(6 Moons) prefers the First Watt S.I.T. over any 300b SET he's heard. 213 Cobra and some other gon members tried the S.I.T. but ultimately preferred their own amplifiers(they did think highly of that amp however). Gary, ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,Those 2 amplifiers are worth considering if you're seeking higher power while attempting to maintain the SQ of your Wavac EC 300b. The Ayon Crossfire is a pure DHT tube design. The Audiopax 88 isn't a true SET(if that matters at all to you). ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes If I were to venture into SS amps a First Watt type would interest me(simple class A circuit/few parts).You're exchanging a particular tube signature for a transistor signature. Any and all audio components/devices have a signature. Some people sa... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Hi Mikirob,I look forward to reading your impression of the De Capo. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,We are all different , my digital/analog comparison was strictly a personal observation and nothing more. I certainly respect that you have had a different experience and that's to be expected as we are all individuals with our own taste and ... | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Taoh2,Given the nature of an open forum these types of questions can only be answered in very general terms based on an individuals own personal listening experience. Based on my hearing the three brands that you listed I would have to agree with ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Jeff,Yes it has unfolded that way for me. I'd choose digital source with tube electronics rather than analog source with solid state electronics in a forced to choose hypothetical situation. Obviously some would prefer the analog and SS option. | |
| Opinions on efficient bookshelf speakers 95db? Coincident Triumph Extreme II are worth a serious consideration. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Pani,I get your analogy, for what ever reason it differs for me. I can move easily between good digital and analog systems. The gap you describe isn't there for me in that comparison. There is however a sonic gap I experience with SET vs many non ... |
