| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? You could always try a nice tube integrated. That will allow you to see if you like the tube sound.I am currently using a will vincent modded dynaco st70 and classe dr6 preamp (said to be somewhat tubelike) and love the combo.I also have a bryston... | |
| Are You a Sansui Lover? I use a tu417 tuner in my rig and it has cd like sound quality.I also have the au517 integrated amp, but while it works perfectly, the sound quality is not good compared to my modded dynaco st70 or my bryston 3b st.Maybe I should sell the au517...... | |
| Bryston or Outlaw I have a bryston 3b st that I ran in my system for about a month. It is detailed and has very well controlled bass. If you are into earsplitting volume levels, it can deliver all you want.But in my system I went back to my gold lion kt66 tubed dyn... | |
| Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget Sorry about the second system mention in my first post.... I was thinking about another thread. My listening room is also my ht area and I watch a lot of shows on my 46" h.d.t.v. through my system.Also speaker placement can have a big affect on ho... | |
| Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget I own a pair of quad 11L speakers paired with a classe dr6 pre and modded dynaco st70. This setup sounds fantastic in my 10 x 10 listening room.I have owned various ss seperates and klipsch heresys, kg4's, snell type jIII, paradigmn v20 and severa... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Heat is my only complaint.( My listening room is only 10x10)I have a Will Vincent rebuilt dynaco st70 currently in my system. My system consists of quad 11L mini monitors, classe dr6 preamp, sansui tu516 tuner, and denon cd/sacd player.After buyin... | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L Yes the quads are bi-wire capable. I have thought of trying just what you suggested but space for the equipment will not allow for 2 amps...... | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L I have read that most totem, dynaudio, proac, etc. like a lot of power. I was afraid that the st70 might not be up to the task for any of those speakers.I love the way the kt66 tubed st70 sounds with my quad 11L's except for the total lack of bass... | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps I almost forgot.... the kt66 tubes are the "coke bottle" shape and they make this already cool looking modded st70 really "off the hook"!!! | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps I found some threads dedicated to st70 upgrades and one of the mods was using the kt66 gold lion re issue tubes.Before I ordered a matched quad, I called Will to make sure they would work properly with the amp and he said yes.In Will's reworked st... | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps I have one of Will's st 70 amps and it is a piece of art.The amp sounded nice with the el34 tubes in it, but I also wanted to try some tube rolling..... and after a matched quad of gold lion kt66 re issues, this amp has unreal depth, imaging, and ... |
