| Best 300B Brownsfan: What you say makes sense. Especially a lending library. It would be great to be able to try a tube before buying a pair or a quad. Especially at today's prices for top-notch 300b. | |
| Best 300B Charles and I have totally different equipment, but similar experiences with 300b tubes. I prefer the Takatsukis over the Royal Princes and think that both totally outclass the Shuguang BTs. I have not heard the Psvane Treasures that by all report... | |
| Zu audio speakers for chamber music and jazz? I listen to lots of different types of music - chamber music included. I have the Zu Def 4s driven by a 300b SET, and they sound great on chamber music and almost anything else that I play. I do not have any experience with any of the others, howe... | |
| Best 845 SET mono amps? Phil (213Cobra) loves his Audion. | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation If you can use stand-mounts, consider either Celestion SL700 or Spica TC-50. Both can be found from time to time listed on A'gon. | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? KR Audio produces a 50 watt SET, but not using a 300b (of course) | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I have wooden floors and use the stock rounded "spikes" resting on Yamamoto ebony footers - as much to protect the maple floors as anything. The Yamamoto footers have wafer thin smooth ceramic discs that make it easy to slide the speakers while pr... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm My experience with the Def 4s (I have none with the Omens) is that they magnify differences among amplifiers - both good and bad. I have not adjusted the gap at the bottom although the rounded "spikes" rest on Yamamoto ebony footers. However, Sean... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles and I have had similar experiences. SET amps are not created equal. IMHO there is more variation among them than among SS amps, for example. It is as if the simple circuit and low power of the SET design makes it more susceptable to the co... | |
| Neutral and open sounding 300B tubes Sophia RP or Psvane WE replicas | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? I am a Zu Def4 owner, so I am obviously biased. However, I agree with Larrybou that the Def4s that Sean was exhibiting sounded great driven by the First Watt SIT monoblocks. (He also an an interesting pro-audio pre-amp.) They were well-positioned,... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I agree with John and Charles. In this hobby the word "dated" is irrelevant. Just listen to some great vintage gear | |
| High efficiency speakers In that price range? Zu and Audio Note. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store More Brick and Mortar stores should offer in-home audition. I would happily pay for the service - especially if the money (all or in part) were applied to a purchase. It would be money well spent to avoid a mistake. Twenty years ago, Golden Ear Au... | |
| Are all craiglist used ads scam? I have bought from ads on Craig's List. But not for a while. |
