| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles1dad, thanks. I think the Elrogs in GG DAC is run at 1/10th power compared to amp application. So it may matter. I'll report when I have about 50 hrs on them. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I have about 20 hours on my Elrogs now. How many hours does it take to break in these tubes? I don't want to comment until I'm satisfied I've fully broken them in. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps My experience with an OTL tube amp was not good. It is a very popular brand. I had 3 output tubes fail with loud pop within the first 6 months of ownership. It had excessive hum both mechanically and hiss through the speakers. While I have to admi... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Yes, I spoke to someone who was also there. His experience was very different than yours but he was up front near the center. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Got the Elrogs today. Will try them out over the weekend. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Mitch, thanks for the clarification. I tend to agree the dealer appears to be hawking those electrostatic tweeters. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs This speaker is a line source omnipolar up to about 3 kHz, so a anechoic freq response is pretty much useless. I do know those ribbon tweeters go up to 26 kHz, no problem. Publishing FR of speakers makes sense for forward firing point source speak... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Germanboxers, I think you'll be very happy with the GGs. My understanding is the circuitry for GG and Big 7 is exactly the same, just some more boutique/expensive parts in the GG. Mine is black faceplate without remote volume control, so it looks ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles1dad and Joe, risk for hum is always there for AC heated GG, especially using high power amplifiers. Even in my current setup, I do get a faint hum through the speakers with my current stock of output tubes, but you have to have your ears 1... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Thanks Joe and Charles1dad, I talked to George this afternoon. He seems like a stand up guy who's willing to go out of his way to support his customers. I ordered a set of the Elrogs for my GG DAC. Fingers crossed. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes And thanks for the link to George's website. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Common autocorrect mistake, LOL. I'm not a vampire. I swear! Dracule means "son of the dragon".Anyways, I'm glad George was able to accommodate your needs. I didn't know Elrog made higher voltage version. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Joe, how can one get hold of George Lenz?I'm surprised you're still sticking with the Elrogs. Metthias posted awhile back the Franks run the Elrogs near the edge if not above the recommended specs for 300Bs. I hope your second set lasts. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dear Matthias, given Elrog 300B failure in Wyan001's Lampizator DAC, I would not take the risk of buying a pair of your 300B tubes, unless I can be assured by you that your tubes will work fine with the Lampizator GG DAC and will be backed up by p... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dear Matthias, thank you for responding to my concern. I have never used your 300B tube so I have no practical experience with AC filament supply with your tube. I have the Lampizator Golden Gate DAC that can use 300B, 45, or 101D tubes at the out... |
