| What is the missing element? Does it matter if the data is delivered as "packets" vs "stream" transmission in terms of sound quality? | |
| SET amps ? Larryi,I believe that the Horning is successful using the Lowther as a wide band midrange driver rather than stretching it to the very upper frequencies as a "full range" driver (they also wisely removed the whizzer cone).Larry I truly believe tha... | |
| What is the missing element? Megido,That's a smart decision to get more information on both alternatives before spending perhaps unnecessary money. | |
| SET amps ? Goldeneraguy,Thanks for the invitation to hear your system. At RMAF 2011 I heard the Tron electronics driving a horn speaker in the High Water Audio room and it was one the very best rooms I heard there. | |
| SET amps ? Tubegroover,Clio09 makes a good point, it really depends on your speaker's ease of drive (not just the sensitivity rating) room, music genre and listening levels. His result with a 10 watt amp is similar to mine with an 8 watt amp.I listen to pred... | |
| SET amps ? Goldeneraguy,I belive the vast majority posting here acknowledge the concept of room interactions and entire system effect. Your Horning is one of a few speakers I'd really be curious to hear (also Phy driver based speakers) with the Frankenstein ... | |
| SET amps ? Hi Brownsfan,I asked about those tubes on your system thread earlier today LOL. Israel is quite proud of the transformer quality in these very affordable Dynamo amps (which are usually the weak point of inexpensive SETs). | |
| SET amps ? Brownsfan,I believe that the Coincident Dynamo would be an exceptional match with your new speakers. This amplifier certainly has a strong family pedigree. Best of sucess with this bedroom system. Charles, | |
| SET amps ? Bombywalla,Yes the OP has apparently moved on. However I've enjoyed the contributions from you, Larryi, Tubegroover and all the others who've contributed interesting posts.Goldeneraguy, I imagine your Dehavilland 845 SET and Horning speaker combo ... | |
| SET amps ? Tubegroover,SETs I've heard that sound very natural and honest without embellishment are the following. Absolare, Coincident, Wavelength, Dehavilland and Allnic. By reputation Audion amplifiers , Fi Audio and some Yamamto amps meets this standard ... | |
| SET amps ? Tubegroover,It could just be the case that OTLs suit your desires better and I could understand that easily. My exposure has been Atma-Sphere and Berning, they both do 'many' things well and their reputation and loyalty have been earned. This will... | |
| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure Rlowe,It's hard to say, I used the Shuguang BT heavily for 2 1/2 years prior to getting the Takatsuki 1 1/2 years ago. The BTs are still very usable presently. I have the AVVT 32b (300b) which the Manufacturer said is a 40, 000 hour tube! I also h... | |
| What is the missing element? Clio09, I understand your well stated good points. Cerrot isn't questioning the popularity of USB or the efforts of Audioengr or Gordon Rankin but believes the sound card is superior sonically to a flawed? USB. | |
| SET amps ? Hi Tubegroover,Agee,It comes down to preferences as my experiences differ from yours and all considered it's SET rather than the OTLs I've heard. Certainty many listeners will find genuine satisfaction with either, that's for sure. The sheer reali... | |
| SET amps ? Hi Tubegroover,Your overall assessment of SET amplifiers is spot on, there is a hierarchy that exists. Although SETs have very simple circuits and generally fewer parts, what usually seperates them is the output transformer and power supply qualit... |
