| Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2 Yeung,For the cost of these speakers you`re considering I would fly to Boston and hear them at Goodwin Audio. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Jwm,Thanks. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Hi,Agear now it seem as though you`re missing the 'point', In my quote above I was quite clear to say 'most' and not 'all'. You have spent 3 months evaluating amps in your system and have drawn certain conclusions. I`ve spent many years listening ... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Hi Agear,I don`t believe any point is being missed at all. The fact of the matter is ultimately each person will choose what thy think is best(within their means).Glory,you and many others find complete satisfaction with SS amplifiers, perfectly u... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna As usual it all comes down to what works best for you. People go from tubes to SS amps and viceversa. Taste and systems change and evolve and sometimes can become circular.What ever type componemt makes you happy, go for it. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Tellefsen,That "purity" and "thereness" you mention is very hard for most other types(non SET) of amplifiers to achieve, at lease when compared to the better built SETs.The trade off is relatively lower power output, but is overcome with the right... | |
| SET sound without a lot of money Erfranke,One reason you may not have gotten the "hype" about 300b SET amps is they`re so many of them around. Probably 40-50 commercially available,at all different levels of price,quality and sound.Due to their very simple circuits and fewer part... | |
| Best new tube amp under $1500? Agree with Rrog`s impressions. | |
| Ugh, what to do, what to do... DAC I`d suggest looking into the Metrum Octave DAC,ultra competitive in this price range. | |
| SET sound without a lot of money Ekwisnek,I agree with you, if these speakers have that impedance characteristic(dips down to 1 ohm load!) this is`nt a good match at all(and I love a good SET amp).This will only result in much disappointment. | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna I`m glad you`re keeping the Viva and hope that it and the Dude can become compatible audio mates.Good Luck, | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Hi Agear,I understand Jwm`s point, that Viva amp can sound very clear,open and transparent without overt coloration. No amplifier type can lay claim to more accuracy than another. Transistors, tubes(PP or SET) Class D etc.all have various degrees ... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna One thing I know,the Viva SET amps are`nt 'polite',tame or dead sounding(with the correct speakers). They are vivid,very dynamic and full of energy and presence.Put any amplifier with the wrong speaker and the results won`t be satisfactory.The TRL... | |
| Need more headroom Is there any consideration for sound quality(what type of music?)or is sheer high volume level the main objective? | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Bill, would the TRL tube amps drive your Sound Labs?If you`re ever visiting near Detroit please let me know.I live about 25 minutes outside the city limits. |
