| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? How about the Baby Sophia? I like that its made in Virgina, not far from me. | |
| looking for opinions I like it! | |
| recommend a mini monitor over 93db $1,000 value Triangle Titus might do well in a smaller room and won't set you back much, especially used. Only 90db or so sensitivity though. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I see This One comes in at just over $200 for parts. I'd be interested to know if anyone has built it and compared. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mik, good answer!I would have high hopes for the stock tube by design but rolling is always a nice option to have. Often it just comes down to personal preferences with tube rolling I have found to-date. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Czar,Not a bad idea. I've seen some SET amp kits advertised. Haven't tried anything like that since building electronic kits as a kid, but if I could do it back then I probably could now. Did you have any particular kit/design in mind? | |

| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks for that but I am wondering what the specific noticeable effect to the sound is for this amp specifically by changing the rectifier tube as suggested. | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers My take is its a unique product targeting Vandersteen speaker owners seeking no holds barred ultimate performance from Vandersteen rather than mixing or matching.It might well work great with other speakers as well, but it seems the group most lik... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? What is it exactly that changing the rectifier tube improves?Thanks. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Kijanki, I am also interested if you hear differences using the same source with different cables and your jitter resistant Benchmark DAC. | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Jim, can you provide more details? What kind of digital cables? How were they different? Construction? Length? Brand? How did the one sound different? Better? Worse? Did all seem in good condition? I'm still trying to find out what does matter mos... | |
| HH Scott 350 fm tuner There are some modern ICs that are minimalist design and not overbuilt and will work fine with vintage gear, FWIW.DNM Reson is my preferred IC and will fit most anything if desired. Would work nicely with vintage gear FWIW. |
