| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Hi Orpheus10,You`re preaching to the choir(look at my system LOL!).It`s just that nothing beats your own audition when possible to do so. Personally SET tube amps are it for me,unsurpassed realism with my jazz music(they`re in the room or i`m in t... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Digepix,The general consensus from those who`ve heard or own the YBA amplifiers is they are very natural. Their strenghts are realistic tone,timbre with an organic and very 3 dimensional sound. The emphasis is on music rather than hifi pyrotechnic... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Hi Orpheus10,If Teajay`s impression is accurate then It would`nt be for me either. If a component sounds artificial rather than 'natural/organic' it has no real value IMO. Why don`t you listen to one(if possible) and confirm or disagree based on y... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,Thanks for your comments and encouragement. I never would have believed I`d spend 1400 USD for a pair of 300b tubes.The Shuguang BT have been excellent for me the past 30 months (and shoud be for 600 USD at the time).But when I get a 'stron... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Digepix,If you`ve read previous threads covering this topic you know there`re multiple opinions and factions just like,SS vs tubes,digital vs analog silver vs copper etc.I believe(2 cents worth) that high quality built + simplicity is usually the ... | |
| SET sound without a lot of money Mt10425,How efficient/sensitive are your Cain and Cain speakers? | |
| Balanced vs standard power Natan6355,Hello and congratulations on your sucessful implementation of the balanced power (BP) transformer. Is the size overkill? I `d say yes (for home audio components) but absoluttely harmless(and hey, it`s what you wanted).Your results don`t ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,I think you`re correct about the Airtight connection(good IMO). I won`t be able to evaluate or listen for the next few days(other obligations). I will post initial RP impressions and of course Takasuki once I receive them, I`ll be patient u... | |
| Tube sites/books, recommendations please I have to agree with Pdreher and Trelja. The tube power amplifier will have far more impact than a tube preamp in regards to obtaining the'tube' experience. | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Chadeffect,It seems you have a well organized and efficient CBA system that for certain soumds wonderful. I have nearly 1,000 CDs arranged alphabetically on the wall behind my listening position. It takes all of 20 seconds to walk to the rack(only... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Yesterday I placed an order with Amtrans for a pair of the Takatsuki-TA 300b tubes. I should have them in 3 weeks, in the mean time I`ll get familiar with Isochronism`s(Brett) esteemed Sophia Royal Princess.I admit a certain bias with 'high end' j... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Jdoris,No arguement from me, my point is it`s just another alternative pathway to build a system. I believe computer audio runs the gamut from bad to excellent just as any other front end choice and people will have varying degrees of satisfaction... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment 213 cobra,"We`re ten years into computer audio and it`s still a pathetic cluster"Bjesien,"I`ve downloaded many many 192kHz files and most suck"Both of you have spoken for many experienced listers. | |
| Pilnius SA-103 vs. Modwright KWA 150SE Pdreher,It would be difficult for any SS amp to please you after VAC Renaissance amp exposure. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad, I won`t be able to listen until this weekend,then I`ll post impressions. |
