| what is an ideal tube amp Atamasphere,I`m not an engineer but everything you wrote about higher impedance speaker loads has been observed by me with personal experiences(all positive).I really don`t understand the proliferation/dominance of 4 ohm load speakers with modest ... | |
| what is an ideal tube amp Ramy,Your speakers offer great flexibility with amplifiers as others have said. I`ve heard this speker with OTL amps and it will work out fine.I`d however pay serious attention to the suggestion of the Allnic 300b. This amp(or another high quality... | |
| I'm on StereoTimes... Lrsky,I look forward to reading about your encounter with Miles Davis.I have a ton of his recordings.Best Regards, | |
| Amp is plugged to the wall, why use a conditioner? Dopogue is right, it depends on the conditioner in question.The conditioner should have a amp(Kwa) rating adequate to match the needs of a given power amplifier. I use a BPT AC power isolation transformer that has a 20 amp capacity(same as my wall... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Simmo2741,I believe many of us would appreciate a comparison such as this. One of the very best current production 300b tubes and what`s likely the gold standard 'early' Western Electric 300b tubes, should be interesting. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Usermanual,Judging a speaker simply based on construction,driver array etc.. means very little . Ultimately what matters is how it sounds and reproduces music. We all know this is subjective, I`ve found the Evolution speakers to out perform the Ma... | |
| SameSspeaker Cable and Interconnects No universal answer for this one.I definitely prefer same brand cable loom for IC and SC. Currenly using Ocellia cable this way and it`s wonderful. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Hifimaniac,I`ve come to the conclusion that Magico speakers are very polarizing. I`ve heard various models on 3 different occasions(CES and RMAF) and I feel the same as you. I find them very amusical and unnatural yet others simply love their pres... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Swampwalker, Al makes a very good point concerning the 'ma' value can very under different test conditions or machine used. My Takatsuki spec sheet said my tubes ma is 66.6 for both tubes. My friend has a digital tube tester and measured my tubes ... | |
| Affordable 300b Replacements In your stated price range if you can find black treasure tubes they`ll outperform the others on your list. They also conform to the Western Electric 300b spec standards. It`s a touble free tube, I used mine quite heavily nearly every day for clos... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hello Al,The VAC REN amplifiers have auto bias, would`nt that compensate(at least somewhat) to the various ma levels? | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll Gwng8,To answer your concern honestly, yes the Frankenstein amps can do 'very' good bass. It depends on your speaker(load characteristics,efficiency,crossover type etc...) this is really the key. It ultimately won`t match the more powerful Dragon(... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Markus,With additional burn-in hours do you have updates for both the Frank/Takatsuki and VAC 30/30 with BT tubes? | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I`d follow Kevin`s advice he knows his product`s characteristics best. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Keithr,I believe your DEF IV and Sophia 845 SET pairing will provide you with stunning musical realism and 'natural' beautiful sound. In terms of resoulution,nuance,tone/timbre and dynamic ebb and flow you will have sublime results. I look forward... |
