Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
@mmcgill829 The additional details shared are really enlightening/insightful. I have to say that based on your music preferences, prior system /components experiences and room size, the NAT Single HPS is a superb option for you. It will bring yo... 
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
@lalitk  I can see the GM 70 NAT amplifier being a more suitable choice compared to a 300b SET. 50 watts class A versus 8 watts certainly provides greater margin and reserves. The OP hasn’t listed his room size, usual listening levels or music ge... 
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
@lalitk What I find very interesting about Tannoy speakers are the wide range of amplifiers used by their owners. From 300b SET to 300 watt solid state or class D. They all seem quite satisfied with their respective choices. Of course numerous v... 
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
“you just base it on the length….1m is really short for a power cord, so there’s not much flexibility. I would go with a 2m just based on that. My 2 cents.” It would depend on the proximity of components and outlets in a given audio system and th... 
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
@mmcgill829 NAT audio single HPS v2 - this is at the very top end of what I could consider budget wise. I have heard this amp, but not with the tannoys. It sounds incredible to me It is good that you’ve actually heard this amplifier. I do not ...

@pindac  Unfortunately, this inherent caution also extends to the idea of using a Valve DAC with similar Topology and Circuitry in the system. I do hope I cross paths with the design and can experience what it can offer I hope that you’re able... 
New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW !
@sutts It is refreshing and very useful to get input from an actual listening experience of the Western Electric 300b amplifier. What speakers were paired with this amplifier? You are familiar with the Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET. With it a... 
Best value Set amp for under $1500 used is ok.
@sutts  Now that seems a very good amplifier at a fabulous price. I’d strongly encourage you to go for it, Charles  
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
That’s why I acknowledged that I don’t know how close the two Frankenstein models are. I do know that Israel Blume won’t present a new product to market if he does not think it is worthy. My suspicion is that it may not equal the mono block s exac... 
Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET
My Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers are 94 db (14 ohm impedance) and they just sing with my 8 watt SET. Suitable driver tubes, robust power supply and quality output transformers will do the job. Aric obviously knows this.. So you were in good...

@earthbound  👍 Congratulations with the new tubes. I hope that the Western Electric 300bs serve you very well. It’s really nice that your amplifier allows SET mode when desired. Charles    
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
@lpretiring A few years ago a friend had the Tekton Double Impacts and asked if I could bring my Frankenstein mono blocks over. I was happy to do so. The 8 watt SET drove his Double Impacts exceptionally well. No issues or strain/stress at all. ...
