| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Sal,Your preference for the 2A3 SET amplifiers makes sense to me. This speaker is high sensitivity (103-105 db range) and I believe an easy load to drive as well. Most often you're using fractions of 1 watt at up to moderately loud levels. So it w... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Psag,I can certainly believe that's a beautiful sounding match. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brent Jesse doesn't have the Mullard CV 378, so it's off to ebay for a search. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Thank you for your kind comments. My frequent partaking of live acoustic music keeps things in good perspective and established the priorities for my home listening enjoyment . Audio systems have to sound natural for me and convey presence... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Bill,Your French horn litmus test is analogous to mine with the trumpet. I grew up playing this instrument and know its sound well. Some components/systems are better than others in approaching the authentic sound. Some components purported to be ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Bill,If Brent Jesse doesn't have the Mullard CV 378 I'll look to the ebay vendors. I value your judgment, so I'm motivated to get this rectifier tube into the Frankenstein based on your very high level of satisfaction with them.Charles, | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,I can relate to your genuine enthusiasm regarding this amplifier and it seems you and I have very similar listening taste and priorities. At this point in my life I've been fortunate to have experienced quite a large variety of amplifiers.... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Mikirob,It has to be especially satisfying to get such exceptional sound for a very reasonable cost. This amplifier has the foundation (simple circuit, strong power supply and high quality transformers) so better tubes will be very apparent whe... | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Jet,I suspect that your current SETamplifier would be a very fine match with the high efficiency Volti. I'd love to hear this speaker myself one day. Charles, | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Jetrexpro,You were quite impressed with the Raven 300b push pull amplifier driving the Volti speakers. Art Dudley (Stereophile) was very impressed with this amplifier driving Devore Orangutan O/96 speakers and wrote a flattering review. Almost pre... | |
| DAC specs versus sound quality potential + 1 Arh.If given the opportunity, you have to judge components by listening. Regarding DACs, their analog stage implementation and power supply quality are likely more important determinates of sound than what specific chip is used. | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Hi Brett,I knew you and David(Jetrexpro) would sniff out and identify the good stuff. Thank you both for your comments.Charles, | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Thanks Jet,I'm glad you and Brett enjoyed yourselves. Was the amplifier driving the Volti the Border Patrol? I know that they've shown together successfully in the past.Charles, | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Thanks Chayro,I understand the gearhead comment. I know he's demonstrated the Horning before and was curious if you heard them that's all.vI've heard his rooms on three occasions but always with the Cessaro horn models.Charles, | |
| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Hi Chayro,Was Jeff Catalano using the Horning speakers and what amplifiers was he using during your visit? Charles, |
