| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,Everything seems to come with a price(compromise) the NAT SET will sure provide much power.However those twin GM 70 tubes are goint to bring considerable heat along with that power(70 watts). I can`t imagine in your generous size room that ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Jordan,Now that you`ve had your two SET amps for a while how do they differ(if at all) to previous amps in terms of nuance,inner detail, harmonics and ambiance(the little things)?Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,I`m looking forward to reading your impressions of these two highly respected SET amps.70 watts from twin GM70 tubes is a lot of power for the Zu DEF IV. It would seem 25 watts is plenty of power surplus(in theory at least) with this speake... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,If by "earthy" quality you mean more tonal fullness,body and density I`d say I get this with my 300b SET . I`m sure this characteristic varies depending on the particular amplifier,tubes and other factors.As you observed, I detect no affect... | |
| Speaker Cables With SET Amps Hi Markus1299,I have the exact Ocellia Silver Reference cable with my Coincident Frankenstein SET and the match is superb!Very,very natural sound.Regards, | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration Yes, I agree with Rrog also. | |
| How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B Good points Al,two 300b SET amps from the same manufacturer with significant differences in price,weight(likely bigger and better transformers) and front end tubes in the circuit.It`d be no way to extrapolate the sound of one amplifier based on he... | |
| How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B Pani,Okay, now understand your position.I suggested the Wavelength(especially the Signature models) as I know they and Coicident are very upper echelon 300b SET amplifiers that I`m familiar with(both are rare to find used). There are other very go... | |
| How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B Pani,There is a Wavelength Triton Signature(upgraded wire and transformers,power,output and interstage) for sale on this site.This is a very highly regarded version of this 300b SET amp!Built by Gordon Rankin and these don`t come around often.Rega... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi Tubegroover,Jond and Nonoise, nice points and well said.This knee jerk everything is corrupt or some corporate conspiracy is lame.Too much NPR and NY Times type pablum.I`m glad there`s a High End market available and I can choose to buy and spend ... | |
| Hansen Knight with Pass XA30.5 working? "If" the Hanson`s load impedance is relatively smooth and avoids wide fluctuations/dips then its 6 ohm load is easier to drive than the 4 ohms of your current speaker.Regards, | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging Bigshutterbug`s comments vary vastly from Holley and Mikirob`s impression of the Lore.This could be a classic example of speaker-room acoustic interactions.How else to explain such different results of bass performance.Regards, | |
| How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B One other issue with Tannoy speakers and their sucess rate (or failure) with 300b SETs is that some models are easier driven and a more efficient load than others.It`s probably a mistake to assume all the Tannoys will have a similar result with th... | |
| How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B Pani,The problem is that the power rating doesn't tell you much. There is a hierarchy that exists in the ranks of 300b amplifiers , based of quality of construction, power supply and transformers. This is why one will drive a particular speaker we... | |
| What about 845 tubes on Wilson Sophia 3...? Hal123,Mcintech's comment is based on actual listening experience rather than speculation and has legitimate value. All 845 amps aren't created equal so some will be more successful than others. It appears the Nagra VPA 845 amps would be a very go... |
