| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions The Jadis looks like a good choice and one thing to keep in mind when looking at a pushpull 300B amp is the massive retubing costs! | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Erik I understand vertical integration very well but you missed my main point if it made so much sense and so much more profit why do so few speaker makers make their own drivers? Because it's difficult and expensive to do, vertical integration m... | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 @hilde45 I am still a bit baffled by this he says not to use EL34s but you can use KT66 and 6L6 but also KT88s and KT150s? | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @erik_squires I still don't get it why would it be cheaper to make your own drivers vs buying them?

| Fisher MC-4022 Receiver Take it to a tech who specializes in vintage gear, what part of the world are you in? | |
| How serious are you? I listen to my system pretty much every day and evening so in terms of use/music listening a 10. My interest in gear seems to come in spurts but after my latest upgrades has dropped to say a 4. | |

| Help with Pricing of a Rebuilt Working Harman Kardon A50K Tube Amplifier Nice looking amp Emily good luck with your sale! | |
| Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets? @woodsage Small world and coincidence indeed and thank you for the kind words. I figure when folks have Synthesis gear it's likely from Deja Vu. And glad Luigi helped you troubleshoot he souneds like a great guy from all I've heard. | |
| KT-77 vs. KT-66 KT66 and KT77 are both great tubes as @jjss49 states above the 66 will sound more classically tubey and a bit warmer but they sound great to my ears. Worth exploring since it's an option for you @hilde45 | |
