| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... A system moves one.....a complete system. No one piece of gear can move someone as it makes no sound on its own:) I know this is profound, but hey.It is quality not quantity that is most important. When you can have both you have massive quality o... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mapman, I rarely listen to music above 78-84 db on my 90db efficient 8 ohm speakers. I am driving them with two sets of Monoblock amps. I swap them out from time to time. The first set is a homemade tube PP set that sound marvelous. But, my main s... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Ok you Agon modifiers.....I have a comment and question. I just finished modifying my preamp so the filament heaters are powered by battery. Yeah, 6 volt rechargeable gel cell battery. I simply charge it with a separate filament tranny and turn of... | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... It's not about music being loud. Distortion always seems louder due to noise. The issue is the contraction and constriction of dynamics that come way before clipping. My 97db efficient, 12 ohm Coincident speakers played loud enough for me, but not... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mikirob, great post and it could be these Tektons would be perfect. They are certainly affordable. Perhaps they are worth a trial. | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi your last post says it all. The amp should be able to play all the kinds of music that YOU want to enjoy on a given day. Wether the speaker or amp changes, in the end, a better match is needed. I recall running my Coincident speakers with th... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi has commented on other threads that the amp clips and does not have enough power on certain kinds of music. Thus my comments.Charles, understand and thanks for the comments.My experience confirms that different tube circuits can indeed deliv... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Jetrexpro and Charles, while your comments are certainly true about shopping for another speaker, I am at a total loss as to why both of you would suggest this is the best path? Both of you are very knowledgeable and rightly respected here on the ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi, I concur with your comment that "I will never buy another piece of electronics". I will not except for a digital front end. I can build the rest for far less money and with much better sound. Plus I love building and learning.I am spending ... | |
