| NY Audio Show September 26th to September 28th Hi Brett,Good to know you and Jetrexpro will be there. If either of you have the inclination, I would be interested in getting both of your impressions of the show and what you all liked. The three of us seem to have similar taste.Charles, | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,I look forward to reading about your experiences. I can relate in particularly to Tim's comments on the reproduction of jazz guitar. When I got my Frankenstein 5 years ago I was actually astonished listening to that instrument. I had never... | |
| Best 300B Bill,That works for me as well. | |
| Best 300B Triodes R Us. That I like ! | |
| Best 300B Of the 10 different 300bs I've heard in my system, 5 of them were graciously loaned to me from fellow (trusting) audiogon members. There are good folks on this site. Bill, your idea is a good one, it's hard to know if you'll like something without... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? On 6 Moons there's a new review of the Coincident Dynamo by Tim Smith. This is a fairly long review but comprehensive with several amplifier comparisons and the use of several speakers. He has very good taste in his music selections and he has goo... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings , Live music is all about inducing emotions, involvement and simply being fully engaged. That's the joy of music's ability to communicate. Tubes don't totally equal that live experience but they bring me much closer than any SS amplifiers I've hea... | |
| Best 300B Gsm,Yes, I have to agree with you, depending on the 300b I can significantly alter the sound of my SET amplifier. It makes sense when think about it however. Very simple and direct circuits with a low number of parts used. Each 300b is exposed vir... | |
| Best 300B Bill,I know you and your wife are going to enjoy your new home and the beautiful TN. location, getting rid of lard is a good thing LOL. No need to rush concerning the 300b tubes swapping, you have excellent sound as it is.Charles, | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Ralph, That sums up my preference for tubes. The only criteria that matters, the more natural sound quality. | |
| Best 300B Bill,Keep in mind your Psvane Treasure 300b is no slouch by any standard. Three current production tubes I've heard in the Frankenstein that I'd consider premium level are,Takatsuki TA, Sophia Royal Princess and the EML XLS.The AVVT SL 32B is prem... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings I get the impression that 4 ohm impedance speakers became the default load once transistor amplifiers became plentiful and affordable. It could also be that they are possibly easier to design and build. These designers realized that if there's a d... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Hello Al,Yes I understand the premise that most speakers are designed with the intention of using transistor amplifiers. It seems what Ralph was explaining is their(designers) reluctance (or even rejection) to "recognized" his point as it pertains... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Atmosphere, A few other "easy load" speaker brands to add to your list.Rethm, Vaughn Audio, Tonian Labs, Ocellia, Trenner Friedl, Audio Note.Ralph, there's something that doesn't make sense concerning your comments about speaker designers. These d... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,The Jupiter in my amplifier has been a successful upgrade, but this is relative to the stock Solens (so likely not a surprising result). What I don't know is what would the CAST have done in this position? Without doubt the Jupiter is a ... |
