| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bill,Take the cost of the Elrog and your Frankenstein amp.' With that sum what could you purchase that will better what you are hearing now? We are not crazy. You can spend much more and have a far more mechanical or electronic character. Bill you... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Bill, well again you make a good point regarding the cost of the 300b tube.look at it this way, those tubes can easily last up to 10,000 hours some say even more. That equals many years of sheer musical enjoyment and appreciation.The Frankenste... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Add me to the chorus who say you simply must hear them both and judge for yourself. There are it seems countless threads about Magico compared to this or that. By now the same responders are pretty much known and understood. There's just no substi... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Roxy,Just a detour until Rebbi has something to report. | |
| Bryston 4BSST2 What speaker are you driving that genuinely requires 900 watts per channel? What is your objective? Quality and quantity can be a tradeoff proposition. You'd likely prefer high quality sound rather than gratuitous power. Best of luck.Charles, | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Bill,You should be OK given your listening parameters, and with normal hearing ability, 85 db is pretty darn loud enough. I know some on this site like to listen on average at 90-100 db. Too loud for me regardless of the components or system in pl... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Bill,I didn't know that your speakers were that efficient for these types of low power amplifiers. I was under the impression that they require more power to be driven optimally. I believe that a DC 300b SET amplifier would be a challenging but... | |
| EL34 & 6L6 characteristics +1 Atmasphere, DHT tubes seem made to convey music. They are special. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... It has been pointed out earlier in this thread that the actual sensitivity of the speaker is in reality 86 to 87 db. Jbrrp1 in your case your may have surplus system gain. | |
| too much acoustic treatment suck mids, shrill highs Al,Thanks. I was going to suggest that he remove the room treatments one by one and listen for the effect it has. I see he figured this out on his own. Congratulations. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jet,From what I understand a direct coupled 300b is difficult to execute for the reasons you mentioned. As far as capacitor vs interstage transformer it comes down to part quality and implementation. A good quality cap beats an average quality tra... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? In hindsight I just realized I may be talking about a different model amplifier. The one I heard in Las Vegas last year retailed for about $10,000. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I heard the Electra Fidelity 300b amp driving Cessaro horns at CES last year, simply terrific sound. It just needs the right speaker match in order to sing. | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Prof,It seems the 3.7 is the speaker you 'really' want. Based on the responses posted here the 3.7 is simply the better speaker. I believe in getting what you truly want the first time around(if you can afford it). In the short and long term you'r... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Prof,If your amplifier could successfully drive those 3 speakers to your satisfaction, the Thiel 3.7 shouldn't be a problem either. That CJ amplifier must have really fine transformers and a stout power supply to handle that group of speakers.It a... |
