| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Brad I can understand your change in direction,you`ll be very happy. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR The Royal Princess(RP) is really impressing me. It betters the W.E.reissue and the Shuguang BT(my base line 300b). The RP is not embarrassed by the splendid Takasuki and they have similarities though they`re not identical. Both excel at the highes... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Germanboxers,I understand your point,the Melody 300b SET could just be a mediocre SET amp. There`re so many 300b amplifiers available in the marketplace and at all levels,from sublime performance to poorly implemented.As expected transformer,power... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Pdreher,The KR is said to be a very good sounding tube.The problem is certain vintages have a spotty reputation for reliability. The VAC REN circuit(hot rod) is said to be demanding and tough on the 300b. I hope you got the good ones.Best of luck. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Phil,Thanks for your reply,My Coincident SET amp and speaker are fabulous together as would be expected with the same designer. I find your experience with the DEF MK IV. very interesting and I`m attracted to well implemented simplicity.In general... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? German boxers,The Clayton class A amplifiers are about as good as it gets for very high level SS amps(regardless of price). Your example reminds me of my former Symphonic Line ownership.Some people will just prefer tubes to SS and vice versa of co... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Jwm,If in fact there`re sonic improvement(not for certain yet) I agree with you.I got the RP tubes 30 minutes ago and they`re warming up now. Well out of the box they sound very good! I`ll burn them in over the next 2 days and post early impressio... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,I got an email from Keiko at AMtrans confirming an increase price with the new 300b model for mid april. I`ve asked her to send me information on what 'exactly' the differnces are between these two tubes besides a different base color.Good ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,Are the only changes with the Takatsuki cosmetic? | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Phil,It`s been very interesting and informative reading your detailed description of the DEF. MK IV. Have you heard the 12" PHY driver in the Tonian Classic12.1 or say the Ocellia speakers, are they similar(minimal/no crossover design) in sound?Th... | |
| Whats more important, source cables or amp cables? Almarg summed it up in excellent fashion.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Update,I will receive a new pair of the RP shipped out today per sue at Sophia Electric(they`re very cooperative and friendly). Maxmad, you say the Takatsuki is increasing their price? Wow! it`s a superb 300b but it` very expensive at current pric... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Dover,Your impression of Kondo silver is surprising. I `ve read several sources that state this is one of the very best and natural cables available(high resale value also).I certainly though it would be coherent, intersting opinion. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Brad,Yours and steve`s experience is another example of why actual listening will always mean more than speculation and preformed notions. | |
| 300 B Shuguang Black Bottle tubes I believe certain amplifiers are voiced to match specific tubes sometimes.Many 300b amp owners have praised the W.E.reissue tubes but in my Frankenstein amp this tube was a disappointment. In the Wavelength or Airtight which seem to voice around t... |
