| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem There is a Golden Tube Audio SE40 amp available now on eBay for $1000. It uses three 6L6GC beam tetrodes in parallel per channel It is single-ended, no phase splitter. I own one. Tube replacement is far less costly than 300B's, 211's, 845's ... Yo... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem So you want an SET amp? These typically have output impedances over 1 ohm and higher. Due to interaction with speaker impedance the result is a non-flat frequency response (Ohm's Law). The typical SET amp acts as a tone control as it tracks the sp... | |
| 40+ watts SET, cost is not a problem "...silver takes away something from the flow and harmonics." LOL! Another opinion not supported by Material Science. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? @thecarpathian : $149 with the 48 volt power supply. Yes, it is built with good parts. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? A well-engineered product using the TI TPA 3255 power chip! | |

| how to fix a CD player The transport mechanism rides on rails. These require lubrication - lithium grease. My old Pioneer has the same problem - it gets stuck a few minutes into all CD's. I will have to buy some lithium grease and lube the rails so the transport can tra... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Altec Stonehenge I or II will easily fill that space using the NAD 375 amp. I have the Stonehenge I's. | |
| What are the absolute legendary Snell model no.s? Type A is IMO the best model. I have an original owner pair, along with E's and K's. I don't think the very expensive Audio Note version of the E is worth that much! The stock E sounds very fine indeed! | |
| Should I update a vintage 16" broadcast transcription turntable? Not worth the restoration cost. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Back in the late 70’s Audioquest made such an A/B box available for its dealers to evaluate interconnects. I tried it out! As the French chef said about his margarine compared to butter "No diffawrance!" Wonder why Audioquest soon withdrew its A/B... |
