| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? Grannyring,Yes life is very simple and enjoyable with SET amps.One output,driver and rectifier tube per monoblck, that`s it.Regards, | |
| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? A good tube preamp would certainly be an improvement, but your original question was an either /or tube pre-power amp. | |

| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? Al,good advice, correct the root of the problem then address the lesser issues afterward.Solid state amps won`t always result is better bass quality. It absolutely depends on the speaker design and parameters.Some speakers are meant to be used wit... | |
| Capacitor question ATmasphere,I appreciate the clarification. I did`nt know power supply quality is more crucial in a SET amplifier.It makes sense as I know the maker of my SET refuses to use electrolytic capacitors.Grannyring,I agree with you, this topic and the di... | |
| Capacitor question Hi Jallen,You know people who directly compared V-Caps to Duelund(CAST or VSF versions) and preferred the V-Cap 'sonically' or in terms of relative value?Regards, | |
| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? It depends on your speaker. If your speaker is compatible with tubes I`d go tube power amplifier if your goal is tube sonic attributes. The tube preamp won`t have the same influence and the SS amp presence will be known(ok if that`s what you want)... | |
| Capacitor question Hello Cathode,My question was based on curiosity and considering value/sonic performance cost ratio.No BAT is`nt a non profit organization,that was`nt my point at all(I`m a strong supporter of capitalism and free enterprise by the way).My perspect... | |
| Capacitor question Dgarretson, i`m some what surprised that an amplifier at this price level would use "14" inexpensive electrolytic capacitors.I can imagine the film caps would be much better sounding.Regards, | |
| Capacitor question Chad,Thanks for your input, it`s always informative and appreciated.I did decide to order the Duelund CAST for my speakers(only need 1 pair). I hope my results match yours.Regards, | |
| Capacitor question Hi Chad,Which Duelund capacitor did you use and in what application(electronics or speakers)? Were the results what you expected and did you also use or consider the V-Cap Cu?Regards,Charles, | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? Doremifasol,I`m just a very happy Ocellia customer that`s all.I`ve posted far more often on audiogon about my Coincident 300b SET amp and Statement linestage.When I find truly fabulous components that convey the emotion of music I like to share my... | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? Doremifasol,Your post makes no sense at all. This is a thread about Ocellia and I happen to own their Reference cable and am pleased with it.I`m impressed with it and my former ASI liveline and was responding to Knghifi`s comment about the 6 Moons... | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? Knghifi,It will simply depend on system makeup and taste.Both are top tier IMO.Both are very transparent,open,dynamic and honest(very little editing).Both are high resolution and clear,natural rather than 'hifi'. The Ocellia just manages to do thi... | |
