| Where to now.? @prehig 👍 Let us know how the KR Audio siblings sound paired together. Charles | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @davehg I think the transformers made a big difference for the bass but initially the bass felt like it was soft. We swapped in larger Mundorf caps and wham! It was like adding half an octave of bass, and brought the performance within spitting... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @fsonicsmith  I tried my O/93's with a very good SET no feedback amp, an Ampsandsound Nautilus with 8 watts and the sound is sweet but the firmness of the low end and the extension of the treble disappeared. I can understand that outcome depen... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @davehg That's a serious looking300b SET amplifier. Thanks for the pictures. Charles | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @davehg You've had first hands experience with quite a number of good amplifiers driving the Orangutan 96 speakers. I lean more toward SET amplifiers generally if applicable by circumstances. In this scenario given the OP's large and open listen... | |
| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @flipturn You are welcome. Don’t worry, as you continue to read and explore your knowledge base will steadily expand and deepen. Curiosity and motivation will take you far. Vacuum tubes are actually pretty basic devices but there are so many var... | |
| Where to now.? @prehig It is wise to be patient and methodical in this scenario. Listen and evaluate how the KR amplifiers and preamplifier work together as a pairing. Your P135 preamplifier is very highly thought of and considered to be very good sounding. Us... | |

| Tube Amp for Devore O/96 @flipturn You have some very compelling choices and have received some strong suggestions. There is no dog in this group of amplifiers. The Conrad Johnson is an example of the traditional/popular class AB ultra linear push pull circuit using ind... | |

| Dedicated circuits @bigtwin +1 Very good comments. I have been an advocate of high quality AC power for audio components for a long time. I have also recognized that the need for ultra high current capability is grossly exaggerated when discussed on audiophile fo... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Yes, the Spatial audio speakers should be a better match and exploit what your Willsenton R300 is capable of providing sonically. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi David, Thanks for posting the link. Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @whitestix Congratulations!!! You have been introduced to the unique and beautiful natural sound of the iconic 300b tube as well as SET simple and pure sounding circuits.The more efficient the speakers, the better the results. Charles | |
| Dedicated circuits @lak +1 erik_squires Thats what I was thinking also, the 30A breaker won't kick off and that could possibly damage something and/or be a fire hazard. I honestly do not see any meaningful advantage with utilizing a 30 amp breaker. I can und... |
