| What's the best EL84 amp? Thank you. Very useful info! I’m thinking now of keeping the RM10 and assembling a ESL57 system with an LP12 and a Marantz 7 Pre. An all mid century looking system! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? All true so far. My guess is it's going to be a great amp to have, sitting next to my SET when I am on a non-bass kick. I sounds awesome and is a work of art. I was hoping to replace the SET but maybe I just need to keep two amps to use depending... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? It has lovely balls. It's winning me over. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? pdreher, you may want to try a SET amp with those Altecs. You'd be surprised at how much you can get from 9W with very good iron. So far, my new RM-10 is actually a bit bass shy compared to the 300B SET amp I have. I've ordered other EL84 tubes to... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Interesting! I had a SIT-3 with my current setup and it just didn’t surpass the Sun Audio 300B and its 9 WPC. I really wanted it to work. Maybe I gave up too soon? I miss Brooks more than anyone I’ve ever know in audio. What a gentle-man. I’ll ne... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I bet those Joules sound incredible. I also imagine you have very good air conditioning :) We live in a small loft and I had the Stargates which were just wonderful and I really wanted to upgrade but the summers were tough! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I had UA-1s with my ESL57s. They were awesome but not as good as the Rogue Atlas they made special for Quads. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? One day when we have some good A/C! | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I actually had both version of the RM-9 (and got a chance to spend a day with Roger while he fixed one of them) and I think it's really about what you are pairing it with and what your ears like. Pretty sure with my current vintage bass reflex stu... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Music Reference RM-10 Mk 1 acquired! Thanks everyone for all the great suggestions. I'll circle back after trying out the RM10 for awhile. It'll be interesting to hear it vs my 9W 300B SET. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Thanks for the info! This is incredibly helpful. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Is the RM-10 MK2 definitely better than the MK1? I've only heard the MK1. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? Ok! I'm on the lookout! I also have a wanted ad on USAudiomart in case that's an easy way to communicate. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I have been trying to find a RM-10 for a year. They don't seem to pop up anymore. | |
| Best turntable under $4000 You can get a really good condition Garrard 401 with an SME arm for that. It will sound better than anything else at twice that price. That said, most $4000 turntables are really good. I think a used Rega P8 with an Alpheta cartridge would be a go... |
