| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I also don’t think the power makes it flat or dull. It is more depending on the circuit. I have two 300B amp, one is 11W and one is 8W. Tested on my Spatial Audio X5, the 8W one sounds more dynamic. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Probably a long shot. Anyone has experience with Luxman mq-60? It is a vintage in 1970s. It is a push-pull in triode mode. It originally use 50CA10, but I am going to change it to 6L6. It outputs 30W. I know 30W is likely not enough, but jus... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I heard good things about atma-sphere. But ... it takes many tubes, it would add to the cost. I am not sure how expensive are the tubes ... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 @squeak_king_77Thanks for your feedback on Leben. Based on that, it seems the CS600x may not be suitable for me. For example, compared to the Almarro and my custom built 300B, I feel the Almarro is more “linear”. I don’t know if this is the rig... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 And my budget is $4000 for used equipments. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 @twoleftears i am thinking an integrated. It is the Z40. Budget is a concern, bought too many gears within this year already.@elevick yes, I considered hybrid and seriously look into McIntosh MA252. I always want a piece of McIntosh, but have b... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Yes, I read good reviews on Line Magnetic especially the 219ia. But I don’t feel comfortable with the super hot 845 tube. One of the reason I sold my Almarro 318b is because of the heat from the 6c33c. That is actually a question. Does any of ... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 @ryder Yes, I only listen to Jazz in low to medium volume averaging at 82dB. I think a tube amp with is good for me. My goal is to find something with more power so to improve the bass and sound, but won’t lose the 3D, holographic sound.@mapman ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @twoleftears I downloaded an app and finally got the number on how loud I listen to. My max volume is around 90dB. Average can get up to 85dB. There is also a weighted average which I don’t really know what’s the difference, but it is much lowe... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @jtcf thanks. Yes, I am not planning to buy it immediately, but be prepared when something comes up in the used market. Actually, the weakest link in my system now is the DAC, if I judge by the price. I am using a Audio-gd NFB-3 which is an en... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 I finally received the 40.1 yesterday and had a brief session. The first impression is that, compared to the Spatial Audio X5, it has much more bass, including mid bass, despite that the X5 has an active subwoofer! The X5 sounds a bit more live ... | |
| Otomon Labs. Soundgate Japan BTW, this is the 300B amp I ordered. http://soundgate.net/product/ODg2.highendMy other two amps are Triode Lab 2A3 integrated and Almarro 318B. Both of them are very good amps and won the awards by 6moons. I don’t want to draw conclusions too e... | |
| Otomon Labs. Soundgate Japan I just received a custom built 300B amp from Ken. Ken is very responsive and answer all my question within a day. His amp looks as beautiful as it sound. The wiring is super clean. I think it needs more time to be broken-in, but it sounds good... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Thank you every one. I missed that there is a page 2 so only see the comments now.as suggested, I decided to have an audition first, but then I found out the seller is quite far away from me. So, an audition is not preferred. Eventually, I gave... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Sorry, a typo. I mean the B&W is dull, not full. |
