| Mark Levinson & Others I picked up an old ML CDP (no 39) with a built in pre-amp/volume control as a back-up for my Ancient Audio Lektor Prime that had to be sent back to the manufacturer to be repaired. Other than being a redbook only CDP, I am quite pleased with the n... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b I am currently using Takatsuki 300b. My other favorite version is the KR 300b globes. I would add Audio Note 4300e to your short list as well. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? Three-quarters of my house is one large open space: 45 x 22 x 16 tall. My Zu Def 4s sit at one end up against the 22' wall, are driven by a 300b SET, and fill the entire space with music. Not sure whether the Soul Supremes will do as well, but you... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I heard the Living Voice in my home with an 300b SET amplifier, and they sounded great. Border Patrol (BorderPatrol.net) is the US representative. The only issue is the size of the room. My overall listening space is large, and the LV did not fill... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver Speaker companies that sell direct - like Zu - have a return policy. Plus you would be able to audition them at home. | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? How the speakers sound in my space. I will never buy a pair of speakers that I cannot audition at home. | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison speakers? My go-to speakers for against the wall placement are either AudioNote or Von Schweikert VR-35 | |
| CD Player with Volume Control I recently purchased a Mark Levinson 39L as a "temporary" replacement for a CDP that was fried during Hurricane Ida. The 39L was not manufactured within the last 5 years; it cost 2500usd, pre-owned; and it only plays redbook CDs. It fronts a 300b ... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) My main space is 45x25x16 broken up into LR, kitchen, and DR. My Zu Def 4 speakers are on the short wall and effortlessly fill the space using only a 300b SET. In my experience a high efficiency speaker is desirable in a huge space. | |
| What do you think is the best integrated amplifier under 1000 Audio Refinement Complete Integrated Amp. I have one in my bedroom driving a pair of Celestion SL-700s, and I used one to build a system for a friend driving a pair of Spica TC-50s. They are typically available used for approximately 500usd. | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? My pair of Takatsuki is 8.5 years old. Granted, I don't play them every day and I rotate them with a pair of KR Balloons. . . | |
| Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs? There are a ridiculous number of 300b available. I have Takatsukis and KR Balloon 300b tubes that I swap occasionally. They sound very different. The Takatsuki are warmer, and the KR Balloons more dynamic. I have not heard the WE reissues. I bough... | |

| RMAF is no more I am part of a group that does large educational events on a size equivalent to RMAF. Even if the reason for cancelling is covid, venues and hotels hold the owners/organizers responsible for the contracts and cancelation fees. I suspect that the "... |
