| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mapman,Actually there's no disagreement that there are multiple ways to obtain excellent sound, that's recognized here. I just differ that one topology will mimic another. Perhaps it has happened for some but it hasn't been the case for me. I can ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,With the De Capo the AN Kit el34 push pull is most likely a better match. You'd need to compare that to your amp with a suitable speaker and listen. IMO 300b offers superior sound quality vs an el 34 tube. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... People often claim their particular amplifiers have near/same vitrues as a SET but with more power. If that's their experience I'll have to take their word for it. You can build a system around speakers or an amplifier. What's true is that either ... | |
| Help with System Musicality It seems from the description and lingering regret that the power amplifier change is a meaningful factor. I can't imagine the Edge amp sounds anything like an Airtight el34 amplifier. One variable but a significant one I believe. I think your mis... | |
| Recommendations for a mat for the PS Audio PWT Agree withZd542, it is a memory unit and does not need a mat. The mat is of no benefit in this excellent transport. | |
| Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier? +1 Jafreeman,Your listening levels are likely too high. | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Erasto,You have initiated around "20" threads seeking "what's the best" in various product sectors. You have never followed up on any of these threads publicly. Just curious, what do you do with the suggestions many have taken the time to offer you? | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Hi Erasto, As already pointed out it depends on what your speakers are. If you have relatively efficient speakers(and easy load characteristics) I'd strongly consider the Coincident 845 Turbo amplifier. For more information there's a current revie... | |
| Move to tubes: Ayon Crossfire or Triton, various The Cable Company does have a very solid reputation. An Ayon amplifier loaner from them is likely the best route to take. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Hi Phusis,Your description mirrors mine over a 20 year period of hearing and using various amplifiers. As you acknowledge, to each their own. At CES last year I listened extensively to the Pass Labs XS stack driving Marteen Coltrame Sumpremes. Imp... | |
| Valve amplifiers Superted,Do you have an update in regards to your pursuit and interest in 845 SET amplifiers, what did you end up doing?I hope all is well with you. | |
| Describe ube sound vs solid state Minori,That was a nice and well reasoned post. | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers Dentdog,You were certainly given very solid feedback from Tom32. I believe you'll get this problem solved. | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers Hello Dentdog,I hope you soon find an answer to your system hum issue. I use the same BPT unit and it's terrific! I have no hum problems with its use un my system. | |
| What is Musicality? Frogman,The recording is "The Wes Montgomery Trio". Wes and Melvin along with drummer Paul Parker formed this trio in Wes's hometown of Indianapolis, IN.Frogman I'd suggest the recording "Bags meets Wes". Bags is Milt Jackson(vibraphone) and this ... |
