| TRL Dude Dilemna I think any appraoch at some level has"sonic disadvantages" as nothing is ever the 'perfect' solution. My linestage uses an interstage transformer(rather than signal path coupling capacitors) same as Jwm`s VAC Signature MK II and I can attest to t... | |
| I've narrowed it down... I don`t want this to disintergrate into another tube vs SS (again, sigh)I freely admit amp'or' speaker first appraoch can work out well.When it comes specifically to SET amplifiers you 'most' often will begin with the amp you like and just find a ... | |
| Miles Davis Newbe Question CK,Some Miles Davis you`d probably enjoy, "Some Day My Prince Will Come","Sketches of Spain", "Miles Ahead" and "Seven Steps to Heaven".Sarah Vaughan`s "Embracable You" features simply excellent Clifford Brown trumpet at its best."Clifford Brown w... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Mikirob,Your example is my historical reality! My first high end systems for competely SS gear.Over time I was introduced to tube amps and preferred them by a consideable degree.Once exposued to the genre of SET amps if was all over,I found them m... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR With the exception of Maxmad people seem extremely impressed with the Royal Princess.Phaelon, you`ve had your RPs for a while, I`d really like to hear what your experience has been. have you any experience with EML,AVVT or the WE 300B? | |
| Living Voice for Shindo? Hi Phaelon,I`ve purchase tubes from Andy, he knows his stuff and has top quality product(you can also trust him). | |
| Living Voice for Shindo? Cortes,Amplifiers 'rated' at the same watts can in reality be so very different when it comes driving speakers.The Transformatic 300b is a true beast with huge premium transformers and an ultra over built power supply.I still have my Audio Prism D... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Gsm,Thanks for the information.At current conversion 100k yen=1300.00 USD. If the Takatsuki out performs the RP and that`s a big if, well for me if would get'major' consideration to purchase. Gsm I hope your tubes come soon. Boy, at 500.00 the Psv... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Gsm,I eagerly await your comparision of the Takaksuki and Royal Princess tubes. I f the RP exceeds the BT(my current standard) as you state then it`s truly a superb tube.Where did you purchase the Takatsuki? was it even more expensive than the RP?... | |
| Cary 805 C or 805 AE? Thanks Brf. | |
| I've narrowed it down... Speaker then amp or amp then speaker,'either' method works out . In the end they both have to match, chicken or the egg.I based my system on a move to a SET amplifier and it worked out fabulously, you just have to have a well thought out plan.Rega... | |
| Cary 805 C or 805 AE? Brf,Hello, do you happen to know the rationale as to why Cary went from single 6SL7 to dual 6SN7? | |
| I've narrowed it down... Mike makes a good point.I prefer tube amplifiers, BUT be certain your speakers will be 'compatible' or you`ll be disappointed and likely blame the tube amp. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Things are getting interesting in the upper tier of 300b tubes.This Psvane WE replica is 935.00 USD and is suppose to be a 'strict' copy,similar to whan the Japanese are doing with the Takaksuki-TA 300b. Psvane seems to have established a reputati... | |
