| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Tbg,I feel the same as sabai, you really made a point. If a component sounds good to M, Fremer and he raves about it then the 'bad' measurements by JA tell us exactly what in regard to the subsequent listening experience? | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Phil,Very good advice for those who may be interested in the 300b amplifier route(strong,over built power supplies and transformers). In terms of the output tube for superior bass weight,impact as well as control/firmness and articulation= Sophia ... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? "the complete nature of the resulting sound still cannot be known until heard regardindless"Exactly! when all is said and done you still 'must' rely on your ears to judge the sound quality.I don`t believe we disagree on this conclusion.Regards, | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Al,I agree with your clear reasoned examples, they will certainly have value in determining likely(or unlikely) compatability. They won`t help in determining the sound quality of various component matching. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Onhwy61, I honestly don`t get your point. When I attend concerts it`s for the pure joy and involvement that music provides. With my home audio I attempt to come as close as I reasonably can and with my current system I`m extremely pleased with it.... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Marcus,True, but I did``nt want to be accused of 'over the top' praise. I was fairly confident you`d like them. With your Coincident Pure REF speakers I knew you`d hear all they`re capable of.I glad you took the chance and bought them. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Markus,Congratulations!Profound differences,I believe you my brother,the Frankenstein with the Takatsuki becomes insanely good. I really look forward to your impressions with that combo and also the VAC REN 30/30 with the BT tubes.Marcus, you`r... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? "Audiophiles focus on what sounds good"Of course we do if it does`nt sound good why bother?I don`t know what your priorities are but I only want audio components that allow me to 'enjoy' the beauty and emotion of music. If you can`t connect to the... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Gwalt,I agree with every thing you you wrote above 100%. An excellent and clear summation of these two tubes.Well done! | |
| Owners of Pass Labs XA30.5 Agree with Morganc and Onemug, keep the fine amp you have and get rid of the power wasting speaker and find one with higher efficiency and easier load that keeps the amp in class A more often.Best of Luck, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I just can`t seem to shut up on this thread.Gsm I`ve been eagerly awaiting your impressions,thanks a lot. Gsm you reminded me that I have`nt mention what music I use, I`m an absolute jazz nut(and seemto be getting worse).A friend and I reccently w... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Onemug,I really appreciate your kind comments.The RPs have just over 40 hours and the Takatsuki 75-80 hours.Both tubes actually reveal their superb sound within 2-3 hours and just continue to get better and better,Onemug I agree with you comple... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Phaelon and Ischronism,I and I`m sure Gwalt appreciate your comments.This comparing of upper level 300b has been most enjoyable.It confirms that a good quality-serious purpose 300b amplifier deserves(and responds) to better tubes. Buy the best tub... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Gwalt,I`m glad you posted your impresiions, as you say different ears, amplifiers and system. Ultimately we reached the same conclusion, both are very premium 300b tubes but the Takatsuki is just a bit better yet in this 'uber' range. You`re ri... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I want to thank Isochronism(Brett) once again for his very generous and trusting loan of the RP tubes to a perfect stranger. Brett, the RP must sound fantastic in your Wavelength amplifier,sonic bliss I`m sure.I know The builder of your amp likes ... |
