| Volti Vittora with Sub & Amp Crossover - Thoughts? @dagda, Any update on how they sound? I love the Volti speakers I've heard and I'd love to hear yours. I bet you'll love them. | |
| What is this thing? "Full Modulator Triode" @viridian , Thank you!!!! I find this subject very interesting. I appreciate your knowledge. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i The 805 version of the 800 is now out of stock-no longer available at China HiFi and the wait on Amazon ticked up to 4-5 weeks. I'm not surprised. | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? These tubes could be my new favorite and make me abandon NOS. Thank you everyone! | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Nice, big old thread! I love it. I just received a pair of the Linlai Elite 6sn7s. I'm one hour into them; they sound spectacular. I was pretty shocked so I landed here. If these never got better from break-in I'd still be happy. What a tube! | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? As a follow-up, I just received a pair of Linlai E-6SN7s. Right out of the box (oh, they come in a beautiful box) they sound really good. I'm very curious to see if they break in. They sound particularly smooth and warm with just a right amount ... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? Well Charles, thanks to you and Ralph Karsten I learned that information! By the way, what loudspeakers do you use with your 300B SET? | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @charles1dad , thank you for clarifying! That is very true from what I hear and I certainly defer to your knowledge. One other thing that I didn't disclose - My 300B amp is NOT a 300B set. It does have a small amount of negative feedback in the... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @audiovicker , I had a similar issue. My 300B wasn't cutting it and I have high efficiency speakers (about 100dB) in a good size room (16 wide, 24 long, 10' high). I tried push pull (Primaluna and Carver Crimson) to decent effect, yet I still mis... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @cymivka , I'm sorry to hear of your frustration. This must be especially annoying given the quality of your system. I agree with the folks who say try adding a pair of good subwoofers. I prefer REL. Keep us posted. It's always nice to see o... | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass In 1991, I had Cerwin Vegas. They could rip the roof off and keep going. So much fun. Funny thing is, they really weren't that bad of a hifi speaker. They weren't great either but they were all around serviceable. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Charles1dad, you are correct--it's a lot of amp for the money. Good to see you around these parts. You have a keen appreciation for our hobby and I always like hearing what you have to say. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Zerung, glad to hear you picked one of these up and like it. It does sound like you bought the 845 version, is that right? | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Thanks all. @jaymark Jaymark that is high praise! You also have very nice preamps! |
