| Triode TRV A300SER Integrated When will this review be published?Regards, | |
| dc10audio use Duelund CAST capacitor ? The silver foil CAST capacitors are uber priced.The copper foil version,merely expensive.The copper CAST are well worth their cost given the very high return in sound quality IMO.One of the best audio puchases Ive made.Regards, | |
| Magico S5 review Knghifi,I don`t know if your mind is made up yet on certain speaker brands.I heard many speakers at CES that retail for 40K and up that were outperformed(under these show conditions) by the Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker. The music it made driven ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS NVP,Your thought process is on the right track.The motivation for Nelson Pass`s First Watt line of amplifiers was high quality sound at low power levels.He recognizes that higher efficiency speakers require 'quality' more so than power quantity.Th... | |
| Magico S5 review I found the TAD room/system(with Concert Fidelity/Silicon Arts) more appealing than the Magico at this year`s CES.Rooms I found even better were the Octave-Dynaudio,Acoustic Zen-Triode Corp,Siltech(class A SS amp)-Crystal(glass enclosure speaker).... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS The 16 ohm load would be an easier load to drive for the OTL amplifier thus it's operating more efficiently would be my guess.Regards, | |
| Help with tube specs Hi Onemug,I hope these mesh plate 300b work out well for you.If that`s the case I`d be interested to read your impressions.I`ve not heard this particular tube but it has a very good reputation for excellent sound quality.This is a true mesh plate ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS I`m not surprised the 1 watt SET amp sounded good(within limits). The Daedalus is a good speaker and will reveal the quality of that low power amplifier rather than mask it. I`ve heard them with the Modwright SS amp and the result was pretty good.... | |
| Magico S5 review Hifimaniac ,I heard the Magical with both of the electronics you mentioned.With VAC the sound is pretty decent.WIth Constellation it was just uninvolving and amusical. | |
| Zu DruidV's has anybody heard them? Get well soon Phil. Your amplifier comments are very interesting given those who so strongly state the SIT amplifier is better than any SET amplifier. It is always a matter of priorities and taste.Regards, | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? Keep the drugs, just give me the music ,it is more than enough.Regards, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Salectric,My crossover has only 1 cap that is 5.6uf and was a Solen. Sal it was the best 850 dollars I ever spent without question and the 440 dollars for the CAST in my Yamamoto Ddigital converter. The sound is just fantastic.Regards, | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? Mrmb,Very nice post and well expressed thoughts.Nothing substitutes for actually listening and judging for your self.Our ears are such a vital gift if we would just trust them.I`ve heard the CAT power amplifier, I`m not surprised it replaced your ... | |
| Zu DruidV's has anybody heard them? Phil,Will the Druid V you`re reviewing have the Duelund or some other upgraded capacitor or is it the stock version? Looking forward to your thoughts.Have you any revised impression of the First Watt S.I.T.-1 amplifiers?Regards, | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Hi Frederik,I wish we could have met. Was`nt that room really a treat to listen to?The first day they used the MSB amplifier and the sound was respectable but nothing special.The insertion of the Absolare Passion amplifiers completely transformed ... |
