| Ordered a Willsenton R300 AC versus DC filament heating has been debated forever it seems. Some do argue that AC heating is more purist in approach (Require hum pots). However many/most of the highest regarded 300b amplifiers do choose to utilize DC heating (Do not require... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @zazouswing My gut is not to trust a directly hearted triode without him puts What do you mean? Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @donsachs Thanks for the additional clarification. Push-pull topology, that explains the 27 watt power output from the 300b (4 of them). Zero negative feedback is a purist approach and I mean this in a very positive manner. Sounds like you and t... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @donsachs but it is basically 4 single ended 300b amps in one box. So is this a PSET rather than a push pull circuit? My 300b SET uses the 6EM7 as the driver rather than the 6SN7 (For the reasons you mentioned). Also it utilizes an interstage... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Hi, I just mentioned this because I believe that @whitestix is specifically interested in the 300b. Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 To my knowledge, Quicksilver does not build a 300b amplifier. @whitestix that is quite an endorsement from Don Sachs. Did he explain why he believes that his 300b amplifier is superior to his Kootenai KT 88 amplifier? Charles | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? With some upsampling software you also get the chance to use various filters to "shape" the sound... Anything from Linear phase sharp to Minimum phase slow... Choices are good as everyones kit, room, ears and bra... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? I like upsampling music playback, NOS sounded a bit rough to my ears, but some people swear by it as some holy grail DAC mode. Definitely subjective opinion here. Agreed, unquestionably subjective. Some listeners do not like up/over sampling du... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables When it comes to buying legit and quality build, you ALWAYS only get what you pay for Let’s not toss out the babies. The Vogue Audio cable I have is very well constructed and also sounds very good. It’s quite reasonably priced for its performan... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? Chains of digital devices, each with their own clock/jitter signatures are a bad idea, as each has to attempt to de-jitter and lock the clock according to its own peculiarities. IMHO, those who keep chasing a new upsampler are chasing different, ... | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @roxy54 I throughly understand your point. With DACs those are distinctly two different types of products for distinctly different types listeners.Very different presentations. Not much cross shopping there. Charles | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? @brandonhifi The physical transport is in everyway more detailed, tonally more rich and fuller and deeper sounding. I can't say instrument separation is better because the W20SE is masterful at that also. But after correcting the loose cable is... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @twoleftears Thanks for the additional information. I purchased one of their power cables to use between my wall outlet and isolation balanced AC transformer. My 1 meter cable was 50% off costing me 345.00 USD. I can confidently say that in this... | |
| Tubes, cheese, wine and cognac @jond There are certain things associated with tube production that aren’t available now mostly due to environmental regulations This is true. However there are some current production tubes that are very high quality with commensurate cost. ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lula Okay I see. I’d think that this can be done, granted not 100% certain. Charles |
