| Coltrane Frogman,A very young Coltrane in the 1940s heavily influenced by an omnipresent astonishing genius named Charlie Parker is expected. Like all great musicians John found his voice. Charles, | |
| Coltrane Opheus10,If Trane were removed you'd still have the immense talent of Miles. Make no mistake I love and admire both of these extraordinary musicians. Miles did just fine pre and post Trane. They like all great artists had their own approach and in... | |
| Coltrane "Giant Steps" and "Blue Trane" are so different yet I love them both.The Coltrane- Lee Morgan pairing on "Blue Trane" was special and I wish they had done more recordings together.I loved a lot of the Trane and Red Garland quartet/ quintet session... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Swampwalker,Do you still have the Wavac MD 300b? I realize it`s approach to power supply and circuit is different from the Frankenstein. It may still give you some idea of compatlbility with the Horning. | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Trelja raises a good point and mentions reasonable alternatives. No amplifier does everything (there's always the reality of compromise regardless of what you use). Some 300b SETs have better drive and control than others, High Water Audio demonst... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Swampwalker,Marshall Nack reviewed the Horning Agathon Ultimate(this used two 12" woofers per speaker) and he used 5 or 6 different 300b SET amps with comments on all of them. This was in Positive Feedback Online issue # 20. From what he found I d... | |
| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Good post Vhiner. | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? Unsound,That you may have different listening preferences from Fremer, me or someone else is understood and a given. One could look at our two systems and conclude we likely hear things very differently and that`s perfectly ok in this subjective r... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp The Horning is designed to be very compatible for SET use. My speakers have two 10" woofers and when I replaced my 100 watt push pull tube amp with the Frankensteins there was no problem, the sound improved, a different world. People who own vario... | |
| silver interconnect cables for Class A tube amp? I use silver IC and S. cables with my tube class A system and the combination is exquisitely natural with beautiful tonality and transparency. Keep in mind that various brands of silver cables can sound distinct from one another. Besides the silve... | |
| Do I esentially have a class A amp? I believe that example is classic in its representing the "major" discrepancy in actual sound performance vs lab measurements. If one were to judge the Kron amplifier on measured results alone it would be deemed an undeniable failure. Michael Frem... | |
| Dueland CAST PIO Ssos101,I believe you made a very wise decision,there should be no second guessing as the results will justify the additional cost.Congratulations with your new Vapor speakers.Charles, | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house The transport vs computer debate is really interesting.Some swear ripped to hard drive is superior and there are those who have been there and done that and say nope, it isn`t better despite all the hype. Like nearly everything concerning audio th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool,That Benny Green CD I suggested yesterday has no shortage of trombone, it`s high level Bop and a couple of ballads. | |
| Dueland CAST PIO You can do a lot worse than the OIMP with a small value V-Cap bypass. I believe that the CAST alone (no need for a bypass cap) will just sound more natural and pure. It'd make a very good speaker even better. |
