| To Tube or not to Tube...... Hi Mikirob,As long as you have a compatible speaker (efficiency/load) I believe you'll absolutely love the 300b Frankenstein. Arthur Salvatore was 100% correct in his unbridled enthusiasm. I hope you're able to acquire one in the near future. Char... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Unsound,Fair enough, I guess we are relying on different sources for owner feedback. From what I understand reliability has been said to be good.Ebuzz,That particular upgrade package is quite worthwhile from word of mouth. I think that was a good ... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Ebuzz,You probably know this but I'll say it anyway. This brand new amplifier will require adequate burn in time (especially those transformers) so be patient and give it time to develop its full potential. If you like it right away that's good ne... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Ebuzz,Congratulations and I believe that you'll be happy with the choice. What I like about jolida is it's reasonably price and has earned a reputation for being reliable and good sounding. What I also hear from experienced owners is it's very rec... | |
| 33.3 is now superior to 45 Chayro and Lewm,Yes, it's hit and miss I don't find that 45 RPM in practice is inherently superior to well implemented 33 1/3 LPs across the board . You're reduced to judging on an individual basis.Charles, | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Mikirob,Seems we hear in a similar fashion (in the past I've own an ARC preamp and friends have owned their pre and power amplifiers ). The question is what type of sound is Ebuzz seeking? | |
| 33.3 is now superior to 45 Liz, You missed the tongue firmly planted in Chayro's cheek.Charles, | |
| The future of preamps Hello Phusis,It seems you and I are actually in agreement, we both use live acoustical music as a very useful template. We both adhere to the concept of simply trusting our ears when decisions are made regarding preferred audio components. Of cour... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... For me it comes down to what sonic characteristics are you seeking? Speaking in generalities based on my listening the ARC has a leaner sound than most tube amplifiers. Some attribute that partially to the use of the 6H30 as input tube. Some say t... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Jedinite24 makes a good case in economic terms for the used ARC. The question is which sound presentation will be more to your taste and long term happiness? The Jolida isn't expensive and is said to really respond to rolling better tubes(with ARC... | |
| The future of preamps Knghifi, Did you use your Light speed preamp with the Krells? Seems like it would be a suitable match .Charles | |
| The future of preamps George,No one is making any up, just carefully read the well written posts. It's genuine irony that you refer to those who don't happen to share your views as "flat earthers" why is that necessary? Atmosphere is responding to you with sound logic ... | |
| The future of preamps George,The constant repeating of a fallacy doesn't make it right. Over the years enough members on this site have tried your Light speed product and some found it inferior to their own active preamps. Get off your wobbly soapbox, you are the epito... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Sal,I can accept the premise that nothing is "perfect" and I'm someone who replaced the Solen with a Duelund CAST in my speaker crossover(5.6uf). I also used the CAST in my DAC to replace the stock coupling capacitors(1.0uf). My impression, simply... | |
| transport quality??? Ptss,You got Jfrech and Chayro's systems confused. Chayro has Trenner-Friedl which are high efficient and highly regarded but under the radar speakers. I could be very happy with this fine speaker(and that Viva amplifier).Charles, |
