| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Orpheus10,You can click my system and see pictures and description of the Coincident Total Eclipse II.Regards, | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Onemug,What you wrote makes intuitive sense, push pull use shouldn't be any more stressful as the duties of the output tubes are shared.We need a amp builder to comment. Regards, | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Gary,I know, 40K hours is hard to grasp.As Brf pointed out however this tube was designed for very long and trouble free use fot telephone line service. This was meant to be from the outset an ultra low maintenance service tube. What is critical i... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers The original WE specs predicted 40K hours as Brf said.Certainly that figure will vary based on the brand and quality level of current tubes and how hard that tube is stressed in a given amplifier. The Takatsuki is reportedly constructed to a very ... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Brf,One great feature of 300b and low power DHT tubes in general is their longevity, much better and also more reliable than my prior KT 88 and 6550 tubed amps(won't go back to that).Unless you have an amp that really pushes the tube, most should ... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Bnrlaw,I'm with you, ,sometimes the true meaning of what we're trying to say gets lost with written text.In person and talking face to face this wouldn't be a problem. I just assume most of us who have 300b amps are the types who really connect em... | |
| Ocellia vs Tannoy? Jjbraham,You have good taste in amps(DHT based) and speakers.Either speaker could potentially work out great, as others have said Tannoys may need more power than the Ocellia.I find the Ocellia a fascinating design by an ultra talented builder who... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Bnrlaw,I don't believe anyone responding here is defensive, why should we be? This is a open forum with different points of view expressed.Your approach is a valid and reasonable one, particularly when dealing with multiple pairs of 300bs to repla... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Gsm18439 (gary) makes a good point, I 'm unaware of any review or user feedback with PP amplifiers. Any tube can potentially hit or miss with a given amplifier and certainly some will mate better than others. The WE 300b is praised by many but in ... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers My amplifier's stock tube was the EH Golden Grid and it is a solid 300b.It in no way compares to the better tubes mentioned here, not even close. Stupid money is obviously a personal opinion. The Canary is hardly an inexpensive amplifier, why not ... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Brownsfan,14 db sounds like the right amount of gain for your system's needs.90% of my listening is with the VC set at 11to 1 oclock.Your fun and pleasure with the CSL is in the early stage.Wait until it blossoms, you'll be besides yourself with s... | |
| Prefered 300B tubes for Canary Amplifiers Phaelon makes good sense, with 4 tubes the cost begins to matter.I use the Takatsuki as gary mention above and it is brilliant. The Sophia Royal Princess is excellent in my SET amplifier and better than the WE 300b reissue tubes I tried.The Sophia... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tbg,My only interest is a SPDIF cable.I`m also considering the Sablon Panatela digital cable.Regards, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Brownsfan,The orginial CSL(2009) had 20 db of gain and this was too much for my system(10/2009).I returned it to Israel and he sent me a unit built with 10 db of gain which is just perfect for me. He can offer different levels of gain depending on... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Phillip was that a problem in your audition of the CSL? I`ve had no complaint or issue with the volume gradients/steps( or maintaining equal channel balance).It just proves once again we`re all different.Regards, |
