| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Maybe there`s some luck involved but I`m happy to say there have been zero problems with my current system which I`ve had for a while now. | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Hi Ivan,I appreciate your respectful/tolerant response to Raul.I can`t count the number of times I or other tube amp owners(especially SET) have been lectured to(often condescendingly) about are 'misguided' preference for'coloration and distorted ... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? "Of course mine is only an opinion and the most important one is the Iramirez and yours"Yes at the end of the day that`s all it is.I`ll continue to trust my ears and you do what works best for you, we`ll both end up happy.Regards, | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Hello Ivan,Your answers and questions are very thoughtful,you`re certainly on the right track.I live in Orchard Lake(near West Bloomfield).If you would like to sample my Takasuki or my Shuguang Black Treasure 300b tubes in your Manley I`d be willi... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Phaelon,Thanks for your kind comments.The funny thing is this,I was so content with the BT tubes in my system.That 6 Moons review with those heart felt comments by the Polish Sonic Society members really stuck with me. A few of them use the old st... | |
| What is Jazz? Hi Frogman,It`s hard to say, in my experince with most jazz musicians I happen to know most of them cite Charlie Parker. A moot point really as they`re both and others are so worthy. Like I said I love and truly respect them all.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Phaelon,1200 USD could very well be enough. The RP could be the equal of the Takatsuki for all I know. This stuff is so subjective and it depends on what amp,system and of course who`s pair of ears are involved. Phaelon with your NAF amps thing... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? I agree with Onhwy61 in that you already have a very good system with a solid foundation. As a 300b SET amp owner I can tell you different driver and output tubes selection can make a significant impact. What 300b are you using? I just put the Tak... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hey Jeff,Thanks for your comments and for joining me last night to listen.It was so much fun and those tubes are absolutely emotionally involving,it was as if there were no speaker in the room just the musicians and singers. This Takatsuki is unre... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,The BT tubes impressed me more than they did you it seems. They may just mate better with my Coincident amp as compared to your Cary perhaps. According to the Takatsuki web site the monthly production ot their 300b is 30 pair per month. At ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,If this tube continues to improve over a 100 hour burn-in, oh my goodness! The one major concern I had prior to buying was the cost of these tubes. I`m very value aware and know all to well the diminishing slope aspect of high end audio. Th... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I`ll just come out and say it now,after 2 1/2 hours of listening tonight with my friend Jwm(audiogon member). The Takatsuki 300b is 'OUTSTANDING! plain and simple truth. I`ve been so pleased with the Shuguang BT for quite a while on a nearly daily... | |
| What is Jazz? Love those Louis Armstrong quotes but labelling someone the greatest jazz musician is like declaring a particular woman(your choice) the most beautiful 'ever'.Duke,Monk,Bird,Miles etc. So many great ones, I love them all. | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Wilfredt,Another difference factor between the two Tannoys could be load impedance(yours is rated at 4 ohms).My speaker is 94db sensitive(less than your Caturbery). However the load is 14 ohms(minimum 10 ohms). I drive these speakers effortlessly ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I just received my Takatsuki 300b tubes today(10 days earlier than expected!).I `ll listen tonight after work and will post very early impressions tomorrow.The packaging and presentation is first rate and the testing measurements are in english(go... |
