| Tube Rolling in Doge 7 DAC I forgot to metion that I named it the 'poor man's lampizator'. I also forgot to mention this is even more intriguing a product. Denafrips! https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9b495-denafrips-terminator-r2r-hottest-dac-right-now-da-convert... | |
| Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business Man, tough crowd. OP I have had good luck with Christopher too. I have placed to eBay orders with him. | |
| Bit the Bullet ... Don Sachs Model 2 Preamp I was really interested in that preamp. Can't wait to hear your review! | |
| Recommendation about speakers with limited space behind I ran KEF LS50s on a small media credenza. I used some Herbie's saucers to decouple them a bit without stands. This was not an ideal setup but it worked great for television, which was the sole purpose. I did, however, listen to music occasionall... | |
| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp @oldtech0, who is building those Parallel Single Ended amps for you? I'd love to check them out. | |
| Two small RELs or One Larger Sub @blackspider777, I bought an REL T9i and it's wonderful. To even things out, I brought in a Sumiko S5 for the other corner. All is great! | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later Exactly millercarbon ! That's exactly what I'm talking about. | |
| Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two? PS I wish Elekit would make 300B monoblocks. I'd buy and build them right away. | |
| Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two? +1 on the Line Magnetic reference above. I was looking at them last week and was very very tempted just to give it a try. I should also note that even though my speakers are upper 90s in efficiency, I have a big room (well, big for me and bigger... | |
| Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two? @lalitk, I built an Elekit TU8600 300B amp with substantial upgrades (Takman resistors, Mundorf caps, Lundhal power transformers). My source is either vinyl or Tidal streaming. In vinyl, I use a Technics 1200 GAE, Manley Chinook phono pre, and a... | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later I think the Hooker album didn't sound so great to me years later and it's because the loudness wars skewed my view a bit. The recording actually has great dynamics and it allows the listener to crank it up to get a ton of range. All of this asid... | |
| Ever tossed a record aside as poorly engineered and produced only to think otherwise later @lowrider57 , I meant weak or ineffectual by design or in effort. I've never known that term to mean anything other, but the Urban dictionary says it can mean something like that to some. Whoops. Please allow this to be amended on its face to st... | |

| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp @almarg Interesting Al! I may ping Mr. Waltersals! | |
| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp @cal3713 I'm going to hear several of the Line Magnetic products Monday morning. I have to hear them 250 miles from home so I can't bring my loudspeakers but I will put them through the paces and check back in. |
