| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Markus,That is quite a compliment for the Frankenstein considering you have the esteemed Lamm SET as well. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Al,I hear what you're saying and as always it is rational. Brownsfan reports that the Dynamo works wonderfully with his DeCapos. So it is the expected varied experiences. Tim Smith said the amp was fine with 87db Harbeths. Much depends on listenin... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,I have respect for Paul Joppa and his bottle head products. AN Kits have really eared a strong reputation for their design,part quality options and built. Both of these are to a degree built to fit a price point. This is why upgrade options ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Bottle head compared to AN Kit which one has better parts and power supply? | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Your reply to Rebbi is on the mark IMO. It comes to what you want at what cost point. My choice is the same as yours , spend more money to get a 300b amp with quality built and parts. Once this is done match it to the proper speakers and y... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob The Mullard 378 rectifier is a superb match in the Frankenstein. This is Noteworthy because the sound is excellent with the stock 5U4G tube. The 378 provides across the board improvement without trade offs . | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,That's what I thought regarding your direction. You are right, you won't look back. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? The SET asylum site is the classic hit and miss example. There are smart and very experience people there without question. They can provide deep technical information. But you also get the DIY know it all aspect sometimes. There are some who beli... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mapman,That SS amp could bevery good. If someone wants to truly experience what a good DHT amp is about you have to hear the real thing. SS won't mimic DHT. Now which one is preferred is simply choice. Rebbi expressed an interest in DHT and SET/SEP. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Keith,I have no doubt that the DEF IV is a very fine speaker. But I'm pleased and content with my Coincident chain of electronics and speakers. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,It is not surprising Decware would use DHTs as their reference target. Do they equal or surpass DHTs? That's up to the listener to determine. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I know Mikirob compared el34 vs el34 as push pull vs SET but the subjective distinctions are nearly the same. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Bill,I can't address the technical differences,only the subjective listening. Mikirob actually summed it up superbly! The 300b is simply more natural sounding and thus more realistic. Tone,timbre,harmonic nuance and musical fluidity are superior I... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan ,You are correct. Differences are more than output tube. The Frankenstein has the advantage of bigger and better transformers and power supply as well as better parts, this is very significant. The Dynamo is an excellent budget conscious... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan; Lots of space in your dedicated listening room, I believe it will be a wonderful room when all is done. I didn't know you replaced your Audion Black Shadow with their Golden Dragon 300b PSET. No doubt both of these amps are very fine with ... |
