| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi George thanks for chiming in. So as far as Elrog 300B in Lampizator Golden Gate DAC is concerned, a rectifier that draws 2A/5V is fine (assuming GG DAC has a separate 3A winding for rectifier tube)? | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement Why these companies publish such incredulous spec is beyond me. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks Al. I got the distinct impression from George at TubesUSA to stay away from rectifier tubes that draws more than 2 amps. The list of rectifiers recommended by George for the Elrog 300Bs I think draw no more than around 2 amps (5R4, 5R4GY, G... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles1dad, for awhile I thought I had a bad set. I've gone direct to amp before with mixed results, but mostly positive. The Elrogs seem to be very sensitive tubes on many levels. But Elrogs in the GG DAC seem to have one of the most dramatic ch... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan, thanks for reminding me. I forgot it was you in the other forum. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks Wyan. BTW, what rectifier tube did you use in the Lampi with the Elrogs? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Wyan, sorry for the delay. I was listening to my music through the Elrogs. I connected the GG DAC directly to my amp, bypassing my LDR passive preamp. When I did this, there was dramatic improvement in sound. I start hearing all the accolades t... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Correction. Apparently George at TubeUSA misheard me when I asked him about the 5AR4. He thought I said 5AU4, which draws 4 amps. As Al has pointed out, the 5AR4 draws 2 amps. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks Al, for the detailed explanation. Can you point out where on the lampizator site it states the rectifier filament current needs to between 2.4 to 3.0 amps? I'm currently using the Psvane 274B replica tube. Does this tube have filament curre... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I'm so happy! I found the problem. | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement According to that review, 20 Hz response was down -10 dB relative to 1 kHz at 80 dB. First of all, that is not loud to begin with and due to our decreased auditory sensitivity to low freq, I doubt anyone would notice. I don't think he's anything n... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes My amp has input impedance of 100 kOms and has built in stepped attenuator. I'm going to try hooking my GG DAC directly into the amp bypassing my passive preamp. In some situations, this can dramatically improve the sound. I also spoke toe George ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes System synergy is a possibility. I use a Tortuga Audio passive LDR preamp. May there's an impedance mismatch? Tortuga has a new software upgrade so you can vary the impedance of the preamp, which I don't have. May its time to upgrade and see if th... | |
| Essence Electrostatic Speakers...A Bold Statement 20 Hz +-3dB...yea right. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I've about 34 hours on the Elrog on my Lampi. Sorry to say I'm quite disappointed with the sound. Initially, I had great hopes. When I first plugged them in, I heard buttery smooth sound with accurate timbre. However, it was not as transparent, dy... |
