| Is computer audio a bust? Hi Joe, Agree!Regards,Charles, | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Al,You cited your VAC 70/70 amp as an example of a near max operating point design using the 300b in push pull. My amp's builder purposely chose conservative OP parameters for long tube life and sound quality despite it being pure class A bias. So... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Joe ,I can appreciate you're happy with computer audio and that's fine. I guess you take this issue more seriously than I. For me they don't sound better and thus I felt no need to to take it further. You chose that direction and that's good for y... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Phusis,I believe Joecasey is supporting your perspective. | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Grannyring's decision to return to a CD player is a move I'm sure he'd not consider "half empty". He seems happier than ever since ditching the computer. Really though, this 1/2 full,1/2 empty applies to neither format. There's a ton of music avai... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Al,Raquel, now that's a name from the past, I always found his comments interesting and informative. What I don't know is this, SET vs push pull circuits, is one inherently "tougher" on tubes than the other? Or is there a wide spectrum in terms of... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Larry,I can't disagree with a word you've written and I don't mean to imply that the 300b SET is the only route to sonic bliss. Of all the various topologies I've heard over many years, this is the one that did it for my particular desires of musi... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Hello Clio09,I don't build or design 300b SET amplifiers (I get to do the easy part, just listen and enjoy). I was repeating what I've been told and read from those with this experience. They believe that the tube has a performance/power curve or ... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? S1nn3r,Keep in mind that the Wyetech is using "4" 300b tubes per mono block to achieve the 38 watts. So roughly 9.5 watts per 300b tube. 8 to 10 watts is the usual power rating for most 300b SET amplifiers utilizing a single output tube per amplif... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? I'd believe the Wyetech Ruby is superb in built and sound quality. I don't think they participate in shows very often.Their products are likely built to order. It would be fun to hear the Ruby amplifier.Charles, | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Raymonda,If it's hassle free for you that's good.I seem to hear more experiences similar to Grannyring's. He put a lot of time and effort into his computer system. CD is about as simple as it gets in my view.Regards,Charles, | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Hello Raymonda,I certainly get your point and I don't believe computers are bad or wrong. I just find in its current state of development they aren't worth the trouble or hassle for me. Grannyring's post above summarized it so well. We do agree, t... | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? Larryi,Good reply as always.Hi S1nn3r, if you want to use the 300b tube and require 50 watts you'll have to go with a push pull design amplifier. If you really want what a good 300b SET has to offer you'll have to use more efficient speakers. I se... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Hello Keith, I don't know the technical aspects of the TI 1794 chip. All I can attest to is that Shigeki Yamamoto found a way to get absolutely beautiful music out of it and for that I am very grateful for his talent and effort. I've added Duelund... |
