| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? This is such a great thread and I now better understand, technical reasons, why I have been so frustrated in the past with some wonderful SET amps. The music was wonderful at lower volumes, and they did drive my speakers to go very " loud " I was... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts True that. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Evolist, agree that you must hear and experience it to know! I know the Lyngdorf room correction helped me obtain sound improvement that was beyond my past switching and upgrading of all manner of gear. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @vitop,Well said and I was thinking the very same thing. This is a big subject however and I am not an expert. | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? @blindjim The trying not exceed 20% of an amp's power was specifically mentioned by Ralph for SET tube amps due to their nature in how they distort. As I understand his point, I went back to read it carefully, one must be particularly careful with... | |

| CD players = dead? Your welcome! | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Agreed it takes time as you say. Just not years:) | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Yes indeed. A good room correction piece of gear would mate wonderfully with the DI. | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? +1I have put together various types of systems over the years to fully experience all they have to offer.- high sensitivity speakers with flea watt tube smps- low sensitivity speakers with monster SS amps- ESL speakers with both SS and tube ampsTh... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Whart is spot on. The sensitivity of the speaker is vitally important and that must be known before picking or considering any amp. For example, a speaker with 89db sensitivity at 8 ohms will require far more power than a speaker with 98db sensiti... |
