| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? jtgofish There are some very good Chinese copy Dartzeel NHB108 amplifiers for around 1000 USD.Mine sounds superb and I will not be going back to a SET again.Used in combination with my Supatek tube preamp it is the best sound I have ever... | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? Yeah, the Dartzeel is a dream of mine if I could ever find a reasonable one | |
| Best Receiver? I just got a great deal on the Magnum Dynalab MD208! Thanks to everyone for your input. It was a hard choice between it and the Fisher 800 but it's easier to avoid any restoration hassles, I guess. | |
| Best Receiver? jerry rice nah, randy moss Totally Moss | |
| Best Receiver? Fisher 500C! I forgot about that one. Heard it years ago. That's a great candidate. Thanks! | |
| Audio Research in Receivership. Eventually you run out of super rich folks to buy your stuff, especially with the large amount of boutique brands at their price point. This is just failing to keep up with the changing marketplace. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @Dover had it right. Keep the CB-L and go with a Kuzma Stabi R and get two headshell plates to mount different cartridges and swap them out. That's a rig that would be hard to beat. You could spend twice as much and you'd get something different b... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? I had the ASR and I liked it better than the steelhead. it was my favorite solid state, way better than the EAR 324. It takes up a LOT of space. I also don't think it's in the ballpark of the Lamm. There's just something special about their produc... | |
| What's A Good Upgrade From A Manley Steelhead? Find a Lamm LP2.1. I’ve heard a Steelhead and the Lamm would be a huge upgrade. They pop up used in your price range. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I should try one. Those are two tubes I have not listened to, not counting a Quad amp I borrowed for a day. | |
| Wood case source? These are really good questions! I was thinking I would just provide a photo of the stock wood case and dimensions. I think in general, the cases are oiled walnut. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? So the best that I've heard so far is the Scott 222C. Wow. Sounds like my SET but with more power. It's an integrated with Amperex EL84s, a Mullard 5AR4 and Tele 12AX7s, but it sounds great even bypassing my Lamm preamp. A tiny bit rough around th... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @bdp24 Beat me to it :) | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? His ESL sounded incredible by the way! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I heard those ESLs around that time. We probably passed each other on the 405. I went to see him a couple times to work on my RM-9. He discussed wanting to buy. ARC, which was rumored to be up for sale at that point, because he knew everything tha... |
