| Horning owners what amps have you used? Trelja,I disagree with that based on my own experiences and I`ll just leave it alone from this point on. As long as we are both happy with our choices/results what else matters? | |
| Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound Razmika,All anyone can offer are subjective observations.I don`t know what there`s to "get", you like a product or you don`t, Magico is no different in that regard. | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? JohnK, My point exactly, you could audtion 5 different 300b amps in the same system and they would sound nothing alike. I`ve heard 2A3 amps sound great and others crappy.Onemug, I would`nt advise a 300b SET to drive Maggies, but the Horning is an ... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Trelja,I must respectfully disagree with your 2A3/300b comparison, it just restatting the usual stereotypes(bass performance varies widely among 300b tubes and individual amps) Both are fine DHT tubes, one is`nt inherently better, Far too many cho... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Ahendler,Said it well. I get the impression from reading many threads that a number of people don`t have confidence in their own ears. The components that elicit favorable - emotional responds and cause a strong connection with your music, that`s ... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Correction,The Horning amp is`nt 300b based but my point remains the same.The overall quality of the amp matters more than the specific output tube and stated power ratings don`t tell the entire story. | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Trelja,Dpe has already stated twice that he gets excellent results with his Thoress 300b, When it comes to 300b amplifiers there`s quite a range in terms of ultimate performance. Some have 'much' better transformers, stiffer power supplies and par... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Dpe,A 45 or 2A3 SET amp might be a bit of a stretch with your speakers, depends on room size, music volume etc.I believe a good quality 845 amp would work very well with your Hornigs, just not sure if necessarily "better" than what you currently h... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? You already love the speaker with your Thoress 300b, this match may prove hard to beat. Your comment on the ZH270 is unique given it`s universal praise and top reviews. | |
| Does your system take you there or...? PMB, I have to honestly say that in my current system it really depends on the recording. Some recordings absolutely put me in the venue to the point where I feel I can describe the exact dimensions and characteristics. With others There`s a subli... | |
| 300B tubes Hatari,One thing to keep in mind is that some 300b tubes mate better with certain amps than others. In general I can state that the Shuguang Treasure 300b has been a wonderful tube with my amps. Superb sound(very natural-organic) and ultra reliabl... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Dev,Excellent points, it is difficult to eliminate the many variables when attempting to fairly compare components in an A/B format. | |
| Spendor and Tubes Jdmeyers77,Your results don`t surprise me, Given a speaker of reasonable load and efficiency. The low -moderate power but high quality tube amplifier would absolutely be my choice if the objective is pure and natural music reproduction. throwing m... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Excellent point Bryon, there`s no place to hide flaws as you increase the quality of accompanying components, it`s all laid bare and exposed.It is indeed a tribute when a modest priced component can shine with far more expensive audio gear. | |
| Balanced vs standard power I have a BPT 20 amp balanced AC transformer the past 3 years. My entire system is plugged into it, everything improved with it`s use,dynamics,sense of scale,much lower noise floor, nuance, inner detail etc.I have`nt experienced any negative trade ... |
