Mastersound Compact 845 with Pvsane 845T
I also have a buzz from center transformer Both speakers buzz loud enough to hear clearly from listening position when volume at zero. I'm running Chinese 845C tubes (bought it used with those tubes)What is your recommendation for 845 tubes? Did y... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
Did you end up getting the CL-38? How is it? What are you using for the source? I assume you've got the Luxman Dac. Are you able to audition Luxman Tube amp? Do you have a power conditioner? What speaker cable do you have?  
Mastersound Tube amp
I got it to work. Seems the standard 845 tube comes out by turning counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Replacing it is opposite, 1/4 clockwise turn. People who suggested wiggling it side to side and back for froth have clearly never handled 845 tube. I thi... 
Mastersound Tube amp
It doesn’t turn counterclockwise, at all. I’ve been getting many responses and they all contradict each other. Please respond if you own the amp.

kot, is it sideways or counter clockwise ? I’m confused. Look inside where and which stripes ? Do you mean look inside a tube ? There is nowhere else you can look inside. Please elaborate  
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
 “What do guys think about cl 38uc and combine it with m700u with triangle speakers ? Vs c700u” I think CL-38 should sound better with 700u and triangle. What makes the SS preamp c700u 50% more expensive than CL-38? Has anyone compared the aforeme... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
I think OP will replace oppo with luxman Dac. Seems most agree all tube set up will be ideal. Agree with mastersound recommendation, best tubes I’ve ever heard as well. They are very hard to find on a used market though. I’d stay away from integra...

Get a CL-38 vacuum pre to pair with solid state amp. This is commonly done to sweeten the sound of a cold SS amp. This may also tone down those horn tweeters on triangles. Alternatively, Sell the m700 and get a full tube set up, MQ-88 and CL-38. P... 
Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp
I'm pretty sure my Mastersound will drive them just fine. My question is would 10W Luxman be adequate or would Mcintosh be better suited based on power alone. These questions are for those who actually own the speakers and have experimented with t... 
Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp
Would Mcintosh MC275 be a better match for aforementioned speakers ? Or would it be overkill to spend nearly equal amount on an amp?  I also have a mastersound compact 845 30W SET which I could try as well. Did anyone have a chance to hear both sp... 
Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp
What about the horn tweeter on Triangle? Is it known to be bright ? Would a luxman tube amp tame that brightness ? I guess my question is which is a better stand mount option? BW 805d3 or triangle theta or duetto ? I haven’t excluded other tube am... 
Triangle Theta vs. B&W 805D3 with Luxman tube amp
Do you think the Diamond speaker class is comparable to theta or higher end Magellan from triangle ?  
SET amplifier recommendation
+1 mountainsong's suggestion on Mastersound. I'm driving a very difficult load Sonus Faber Elipsa 4ohm (88 db effective) with 30W 845 SET to satisfying levels in my large room without a subwoofer. I'm talking about concert hall levels with no dist... 
Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND
What about Diapason adamantes ? These two brands have been seen in many shows.  
Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND
mmoldda1 what does the impedence curve look like for those? Not particularly sensitive at 87db and 6ohm.
