| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers Renmeister,It seems we have similar equitment and musical taste. Is your 300b amp SET,parallel SET or push-pull?Do you have a price range?Very good choices mentioned so far, I use Coincident speakers and they`re superb They provide beautiful tone,... | |
| What is Musicality? Tubegroover,Good points, I use live jazz venues as my template. The closer the components approach that sound the more I like them. It`s become very simple for me now to choose or reject equitment. | |
| What is Musicality? Frogman, That`s a beautiful definition of musicality. Natural being the all important term. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Hi Darkmoebius,I hear you loud and clesr LOL. Sometimes when reading another person`s reply the intended humor is`nt apparent. Based on your system, you certainly appreciate low power /high quality amps also. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Darkmoebius,If there`s one thing thats been demostrated often in high end audio, higher cost does`nt mean better sound.With the very efficient Zu speakers the additional power is`nt an advantage, it`s sound quality. Often times a lower power amp w... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Glory,It`s funny you cite the duke. I use the CD Duke Ellington "Dance Concerts California 1958" for system/component evaluations. This sound is so natural, dynamic and just a wonderful live recording. It`s as though I`m right there with them in t... | |
| Ocellia 3 versus ANE SPE HE's Thanks much Pentatonia for your impressions. I`ve yet to hear any negative or cautious comments regarding Tonian Lab speakers from those who`ve owned them. But man, are they hard to find and audition! | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias I suspect that excellent sound can be achieved with either auto or manual bias, given the superb tube amps available in both categories.Certainly auto bias has`nt been detrimental as implemented in my 300b SET amplifier. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Hi Glory,How does the tone and timbre of the Tenor OTL differ(if at all) from your Atma-sphere S30 with vocals and acoustic instruments? Is one more life like or organic? I`m curious, as they`re both well proven designs. | |
| Ocellia 3 versus ANE SPE HE's Pentatonia,What are tthe differences/ They both use the PHY-12 driver correct? is one more natural/realistic than the other/ | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias Marakanetz,Thanks for bringing up that point. The builder of my Coincident amp as I recall did mention soft startup for the tubes in this design, and said tube life is very long. | |
| Tekton Design Lore Hello Paul,That was a nice and very interesting review. The Lores based on you impressions seems likes the poor man`s version of the Tonian Classic 12.1(12 x the cost!).I have a strong attraction to simple designs(SET amplifiers, 2 way speakers/wi... | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias Anjowin,I have a push-pull 100 watt amp(6550/KT88 tubes) that requires manual biasing(very simple to preform) that sounds very good. I also own an auto biasing 300b SET amp that`s the best sounding amp(without question) i`ve ever owned thus far.If... | |
| What is my next step to a better sound ? I agree with 4est, the transport quality is absolutely crucial if you want good /improved digital sound. The belief that" any old transport will do" as long as the DAC is good is`nt supported by reality. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL Glory,Congratulations! I know some folks who say the Tenor is the best OTL they`ve ever heard. I hope things workout for you. |
