| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. James,The Opera Consonance tube amps are very good(built quality and sound). The very good tube amps are quite transparent and revealing also james. There`s no 'masking' of information, they just are`nt as analytical or dry sounding as 'some' SS a... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Pdreher,The builder of my Coincident amp(Israel Blume) loves their sound and use to offer the KR 300b as an upgrade. He stopped due to frequent tube failure and the unwillingness of the company to back the warranty and replace tubes.He now prefers... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Auntjenof2,AVVT(mesh or solid plate?) that`s impressive, this is shaping up for some very worthy comparisions. I`ll probably have the RP early next week and will report how they perform vs the Black Treasures I own. At lease on paper, the RP and t... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Hello James,Low power tube amps SET or PP can provide excellent impact,dynamics and clarity/transparency without a doubt. The key is selecting a well built and high quality tube amp(transformers,parts and stout power supply). Equally important is ... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Atmasphere, I 'suspected' true triodes are more linear thus they don`t need to rely on feedback.Thanks for taking the time to explain the instrinsic differences between triode and pentodes, very educational.Regards, | |
| I've narrowed it down... It has gotten some what off topic yet very interesting and informative,good thread IMO.Atmasphere do DHT tubes behave differently from IDHT(Pentode) type tubes and would their response to feedback be the same? is one type more linear than the othe... | |
| I've narrowed it down... When all is said and done I believe the need/advantage for feedback comes down to amp design and certainly the speaker involved. Some speakers simply don`t need the additional damping feedback provides, other speaker types would benefit.The proof ... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Jwm,Israel Blume(Coincident) confirmed the Frankenstein amp does`nt use any negative feedback, global or local. He said it is a zero feedback circuit.Regards, | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Gsm,I really appreciate the fact that you`re able and willing to compare the Takatsuki and Royal Princess 300b.Yes we all have different ears,amps and systems but in reality this is going to be the best opprotunity we have. You can`t buy every sin... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Jwm,I believe you are correct for the most part,but it really depends on the speaker you intend to drive. I do 'think' that some lower power SET amplifiers(I think my 300b amp is one example)operate without'any' negative feedback at all. This may ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Thanks Phaelon,Your objectives/quest are the same as mine, get the music reproduction as 'natural' and 'real' as is possible. Musicality is a definite positive and very flattering term in my book. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Mikirob, Oh I very much trust my ears(there`s no better way) That`s how I got to SET amplifiers. My question for Atmasphere was academic in nature,tube amp designer vs competent SS designer.Regards, | |
| I've narrowed it down... Atamsphere,What you explain in technical terms make plenty of sense. Some would say you`re obviously bias toward tubes(the products you build and sell). How do you debate with equally renowned SS builders i.e. Pass,Gryphon,Vitus,Boulder.Soulution ... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I believe Jwm meant intrestage transformer coupled not 'direct coupled'. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Hi Pubul57,The reality is we`re both obvious exmaples that either way is fine,it`s really no big deal. If Botit gets a tube amp first then an appropriate speaker his chances for sucess are as good as mine were. He will do well. |
