| Settings for New Vivaldi Apex Dac @palmbeachflorida I encourage you to post this question on what's best forum audio. You'll find owners of this and other upper tier priced components. There Will be help and suggestions without snarky or judgemental overtones. @willgolf and ... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @donsachs Well said. Two 300b amplifiers with different objectives in mind and yet each can be successfully executed and reach their targeted goal respectively. Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport Hi @robshaw Congratulations on getting the LTA linear power supply. It has earned a wonderful reputation and I had no doubt you’d be quite pleased with this unit or the Fidelizer Nikola II. I do believe that you will benefit from using a good qu... | |
| Focal Stella @winoguy17 Good advice. Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @voodoolounge 👍 Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @whitestix Thoughtful comments! I’ll admit that I have not heard or even seen the Willsenton R 300 amplifier. The company has been around long enough to have established a track record of both sonic performance and reliability. From what I gath... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @donsachs Agree with every point that you made. However only so much can be accomplished for a given price target. I have no doubt that your 300b is superior in numerous ways, but no way could it sell for only1500.00 USD either. You unavoidably... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @donsachs Honestly, they could build the same amp at a $100 higher price point and improve it considerably just looking at the photo I absolutely understand that observation. When you price an audio component to meet a strict price point, co... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 If the Willsenton R300 has at least decent quality output transformers and power supply it should be okay. If good rather than merely decent quality then should be quite good sounding pairing. Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Ibought a Wells Audio Innamorata SS amp earlier this year -- by far the greatest SS I have ever had, and by memory I thought it might be more revealing than the Kootenai. I swapped them recently and it took just a few moments to realize the Koote... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I don’t know a lot about the JM Reynaud Audio speakers but I am aware that they are generally said to be amplifier friendly speaker loads and match well with many tube amplifiers. So the likelihood of success with this 300b SET is reasonably good ... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables The question becomes whether the most expensive and thickest grade of Lavri cables gets you close enough to the AQ solid silvers. There was an earlier thread on this question that has since been deleted unfortunately. The OP had AQ silver cable... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @voodoolounge I wouldn’t recommend it. 85 db sensitivity and behaves as a 4 ohm speaker impedance load per Stereophile. You will not get near the true capability of what the 300b SET has to offer. This pairing favors neither the amplifier or th... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Btw, when did you start this thread? Hmm, still no tubed pre? Yeah, just stick with an HT pre/pro with a good remote and you’re done Initial post June 2021. Agree with your suggestion. The VAC preamplifier isn’t for him it clearly seems by now... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw You have been as quiet as a church mouse lately. 😊 I take this to mean that all is well. Charles |
