| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I have the Raidho D2 and rebuilt QUAD ESL57. I'm really a sucker for correct timbre and sound staging/imaging. Now I'm really considering the Carver ALS that just came out. Very unique design. One can play these at ear bleeding levels (not that I ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan, that's some high praise for the Elrog. I really like what the Psvane 101Ds do on the Golden Gate. Let's hope Elrog makes a version that can handle AC filament supply. | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Going to direct sales and increasing the price compared to when Clayton Audio had dealer network sound pretty nuts. Should be just the opposite. Good luck to Clayton Audio. Just my humble opinion. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan, the Takatsukis are suppose to be true 300B through and through, unlike the Elrogs. I'm thinking of getting them for my Golden Gate DAC.BTW, how did the Elrogs sound with your Big 7? Were they the best sound you heard from your Big 7? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan001, I was told by TA the Elrog can only handle DC heating, despite what manufacturer claim. It is my understanding the Big 7 uses AC heating. So I would be very careful. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles1dad, did you end up paying import duty fee on the Takatsukis? If so, how much? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Got a little excited and didn't read your last sentence. I'm not getting my hopes up with the Amtrans guys. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I tried that email several days ago but no response. Do you know if they're still in business? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Well, here's a Japanese site that sells Takatsukis. It's about $1,400 USD for a pair. However, they're middlemen so the warrantee doesn't apply to sales outside Japan. If something goes wrong during manufacturer's warrantee, they claim they will t... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Trueaudiophile recommends the Takasuki's over the Elrogs now. I guess it has more to do with reliability than sound quality, but according to TA, the Takasuki's come closest to the vintage 300B sound. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I was interested in buying a pair of the Elrogs and contacted trueaudiophile recently. Unfortunately, they no longer carry them. The guy I talked to said it was a nightmare dealing with all the failures and warrantee issues. I hope someone will ca... | |
| OLIVE sucks... I wish more threads started like this...more entertaining. But details would be appreciated. | |
| Dan D 'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Jim Thiel, BTW, Bob's new speaker will work just fine in a room 15' x 20', not the 5000 sq ft you claim. Who really seems to lack credibility here? You or Bob? He is one of few legendary designers who will actually talk to you on the phone and shoot the bree... | |
| Dan D 'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Jim Thiel, Wolf_garcia...Bob Carver an annoying freak, a clown? The only thing that is annoying and clownish is your post. Have you owned his tube amps or speakers? Although his ads are often filled with hyperbole, his designs are sound, innovative, and reas... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Duelund recently released their copper/silver hybrid CAST cap. Anyone have used the caps for electronics? I've been a little wary about using their pure silver caps (besides the stratispheric price) due to a slight tonal thinning compared to pure ... |
