| 300 B Shuguang Black Bottle tubes Onemug,I find that concept easy to accept, as opinions and experiences are all over the map. In my case the BT are very good in my amplifier and the Takatsuki-TA 300b is ridiculously sublime(what a tube!). | |
| 300 B Shuguang Black Bottle tubes My amplifier came standard with the EH Golden Grid 300b. When I replaced them with the Shuguang BT they were far better(right out the box!)than the EH tubes. Sometimes I wonder how much of these different impressions are due to the amplifier used ... | |
| Faster alternative to the ASR Emitter? Zuio.Your post is surprising,speed and openess are touted as an ASR strength. Are you certain the issue is the amplifier? This is interesting and in contrast to reviews and owner impressions.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Paul,What are you actually hearing differently in the 30/30 format that you don`t with the 70/70?Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Gsm,How are these latest Takatsuki tubes working out for you? | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Pdreher,There`s no discount available. Fortunately for me I only need one pair, I feel your pain as the cost for multiple pairs can climb in a hurry.I like your conversion of the REN70/70to a 30/30. With your efficient speakers the 30/30 should be... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Markus,As I suspected, two really good amps with their own individual advantages. I`d expect 32 watts of push--pull 300b to be advantageous for a bit more grunt and dynamics yet still very good at everything else. I`d expect the Frankenstein to be... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Pdreher, your Daedalus speakers would sound well with either of the VAC REN amps,even the 30/30 is a potent little beast. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Atmasphere,I agree with what you wrote.Push-pull can be class A or AB, flexability.Single end is limited to class A operation only, no fleability in this regard. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Markus,Thank you for your kind comments.The Frankenstein is a fabulous amplifier but obviously not 'perfect'. There`s always some inherent trade offs with any component even if slight.My 100 watt/60watt triode Bella Extreme amp was a 'bit' more... | |
| Amplifier power versus maximum speaker input power Somut,Given your stated listening levels,unless your room is huge and you sit far from the speakers, most times your amp is only putting out a 'few' watts of power. | |
| Transport for PS Audio PW DAC The PWT is excellent but Cal mentioned in the 300.00 price range. A used PWT is far more than that. | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best George ,You certainly could be right about the class A vs A1 distinction. The designer does mention he`s able to get 21 watts per KT-88 tube as opposed to 18 watts per tube.Is there really much difference between the two types of class A ? I`d lov... | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Actually to be correct the design is 'six amps per side' for a total of 12 single end amplifiers.Regards, | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Hi George,Reading the amplifier designer`s description says it`s made of 6 seperate 'single ended'(not push-pull) KT-88 all connected together and divided into two monoblocks. |
