| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @juanmanuelfangioii In all candor I don’t believe there is a backing up statement. Certainly due to personal taste preference one might prefer a 45 /2A3, nothing unusual there. By the same token other listeners may prefer the 300b. Normal varian... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure If you remember, Cube Audio didn’t like the pairing of the V1s with 300B based amps I was under the impression that Cube Audio specifically had lower power, high output impedance amplifiers in mind to pair with the Nenuphar characteristics. 300... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Moving from the V1 to the V2 eliminates (Or diminishes) the need for subwoofers? Quite an observation and outcome. I still believe that a lot of the V1-V2 differences are driven by specific system make-up and subsequent synergy results. It just se... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @sns Don't want to go too far off topic here, but Israel told me Psvane 101D tube quality and reliability has gone down greatly in last two years, he no longer sells any 101D tubes. He sold me pair of Linlai, used but tested well, I'm startin... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm The moral of this story is that to hear it at its best you cannot match the Musetec with components appropriate to only a $3000 DAC. In this I agree with @sns . In your place I might consider selling all your pre- stuff and getting someth... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @sns I was not questioning the reliability of the re-issue Western Electric 300b, I’v not read/heard of problems. I was just wondering how this specific 300b has more ability to drive Susvara headphones (per larsman) more successfully than anoth... | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Aesthetically, audio art. Charles | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I do not doubt for a moment that the W.E. is the much better sound quality tube. Curious as to how it has better ability to drive a load versus other 300bs. | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @smodtactical The elrogs are very neutral detailed, fast, expansive. Solid tubes but i do wonder what a more romantic bloomy tube would sound like in this amp. Considering the we300b clone (linlai). Are you still happy with your Elrogs? Did ... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . @oldrooney I must admit that I can’t really make sense out of Schiit’s technical explanation of the Loki Max circuit topology except for the description of their fancy inductors, although I am intrigued by the fact that it seems mostly passive ... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . @last_lemming Based on your outcome it seems both a wise and very cost effective solution. Congratulations. Charles | |
| Where to go from here? @ghdprentice I would rather have a tiny separate room for my audio system then be able to spend 5 times more and combine them. I have heard incredible systems in rooms the size of a closet and horrible combined HT / audio systems costing many t... | |
| Paper cone drivers/natural materials I agree with those who have cited the importance of implementation regardless of the driver material. I’ve heard many varieties of speakers throughout the years. In my opinion more often than not, high quality well implemented speakers utilizing ... | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? @wrm57 I’d add that I only put maybe 50 hours on the EML before I went back to the Taks, missing the openness and extension on top. Maybe they never burned in. I’ll swap ’em back in sometime when I get antsy again. :) Well, I will say that ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC 25pm Someone I know was home demoing the Weiss. From what he described it seemed like a better Benchmark DAC3B. The 005 is not like the DAC3B. I am looking forward to @jjss49 Weiss listening assessment . If it’s cut from that cloth of sonic p... |
