| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE I don`t know how similar the Tannoy Westminster(easier load?) to the Canterbury model. Jeff Day says the Sophia 300b SET amp was significantly better than the Leben or any other amplifier he`s use with his Westminters. May not apply to the Canterb... | |
| Single Source Tube PreAmp? Dhcod,The Coincident Statement Phonostage might be what you`re looking for. Several reviews are available on line.Good Luck, | |
| Ocellia cables IC why not much talk? I realize this is an old thread but I`m complled to add my 2 cents worth of opinion. I now own the O cellia Silver Reference IC and SC, this is a top tier excellent product.If you`re seeking natural/organic sound with the emphasis on'realism', thi... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Maxmad,The RP tubes brett sent me have uneven output(one is noticeably louder than the other). I`m going to return them to Sophia for inspection and work things out with brett.The Takasuki tubes(ordered 1 week ago) should arrive in about 2 weeks. | |
| Please help me understand Rok2id,Who`s discounting science?it can explain alot but not 'every thing'. Certainly we`re able to detect audible characteristics with our ears that can`t be verified by measurements(yet), Why is that so hard to except. We can measure many things... | |
| Please help me understand This is why measurements have 'limited' use when it comes to audio components. The ears can simply hear far more than any current test bench equipment can hope to measure. Maybe one day, but certainly not now.I`ll choose what sounds good vs impres... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Atmasphere,SET is definitely the way to go.It`s providing superb sound and certainly the most realism and natural sound I`ve heard so far from an amplifier. I hope Orpheus is able to experience one and form his own impresssion.Regards, | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Mike there is no misunderstanding, your example of a piano reaching 109 db peaks at 10 feet means nothing in most listening enviroments. I have a piano in my living room and when played its volume can obviously be controlled(and is) by the player.... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Atmasphere,The reason I don`t listen at what I consider to be loud volumes is due to potentially harming my hearing. Sadly I`ve treated/examined 'young patients' who have suffered permament hearing loss due to chronic loud noise/ sounds be it musi... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Mike ,Hello, It always come down to individual preference and listening levels. Not everyone wants or seeks very loud levels or peaks of 100db or more to enjoy their music. Cubic volume of the room is a factor(that`s why I listed my room size). Wi... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Orpheus,A good 300b SET amp can handle an 8 ohm load(even 4 ohm if it stays relatively flat).There`re so many 300b amps available and the quality-performance spectrum is very wide.The key is selecting one with top quality transformers and also a '... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Digepix.When I posted above about my opinion and Defstathiou`s experience I did`nt know you had the larger Krell amp already.I guess I`ve been preaching to the choir.Your conclusion is the same as his.Forget your well meaning friends and just trus... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Al,Thank you, I`m quite flattered.I most certainly feel the same about your many educational high level contributions to this site.Best Regards, | |
| Is there any truth to this question? "but the problem is that what is needed is often underestimated" and often over estimated also.People usally need 'better' quality and not always more watts. | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. "I listen for the soul of the music"Amen brother. Orpheus10,I believe you`d really love a good 300b SET amplifier my friend. |
