Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I have them now for about four months. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
The reliability problem seems to be fixed about a year now. I own them and have no problems at all. 
Krell FPB600 can it be bridge to mono
So George do you think that Dagostino's new amps are better being a class AB design? If you are right how does Gryphon maintain Class A in their designs? I don't believe them and think they are just AB designs. 
Krell FPB600 can it be bridge to mono
Al what's your explanation to how the Krell amps maintain class a all the time? How would it know a transient is coming to switch it to a higher mode? The guy from Gryphon says dagostino is full of it. Maybe he's jealous I don't know. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
That is just Israel he can be goofy at some times. He can be stubborn and when something is as expensive as the Elrog's it may not fit his style of recommending good value for the money. To say that these tubes are only slightly better is really a...

Treeshot, I went to Marquette Univ. in Milwaukee for four years. I loved the city. Make sure you go to Kopps for the best custard. Cousins subs if still around are way better than subway. Enjoy your new home. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
Rebbi, I don't know why I thought you lived in NY? It must be pretty hot in TX by now.

Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus
I tried Amperex ECC83 Holland tubes from the 50's (Haarleen plant) and did not like them in the Aesthetix. I don't see how phillips would be better. 
Basis Vector cartridge recommendations
Yes pops the Synchro wave power supply is a must have. It gives you a much smoother platter rotation and gives a much quieter background. I have observed without the synchro the motor vibrates and can send some of this to the platter. I noticed wh... 
Basis Vector cartridge recommendations
I had the Vector arm and now I have the Super Arm 9. I am using the ZYX Ultimate 2 and the sound is fantastic. I tried lots of cartridges with Basis and I like this the best. Ones I have tried are Koetsu, Clearaudio, Benz, Vandenhall, Myabi, etc. 
Do Pangea PC's really outperform standard PC's
I wonder what happened to Elizabeth? Hope she is ok 
Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus
The engineer who says tube rolling is rubbish does not have the best ears. Don't feel bad lots of engineers that design don't always have the best ears. Tube rolling is fun and can easily be heard. Try it you will like it. Brent Jesse, Andy at Vin... 
Tube for aesthetix pandora / romulus
Aesthetix uses the same tubes whether its a standard, signature, or eclipse model. In my Pandora dac I love the Mullard 10M gold pin 12AX7 and 6922. The 10M are rated for 10.000 hours and are more open sounding than the standard Mullard UK tubes. ...
