| New preamp experience Hello Charles1dad,I still have the VAC REN 30/30 and it is an excellent amp but once I heard the Franks/Statement linestage combo there was no going back. Totally stunning performance and I'm only at 43 hours. I also purchased the Ocellia I/C and ... | |

| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I had the 5's for a while and then went to the 40.1's. I thought they were excellent speakers but in my room you had to pull them out from the back wall a great deal to make them sound right. My room was just not suited for these speakers and even... | |
| Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP I used a Marchand external crossover when I biamped my Magnepan 20.1's. Great flexibility when adjusting frequency crossover points. Check out his website | |

| Where did you go after Harbeth? I went with the Coincident Pure Reference speakers and Frankenstien II, 300b Set monoblock amps after my 40.1 Harbeth/Cary 120S system. The high efficient Pure Reference speakers from Coincident are the best I have ever heard paired with the Frank... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad,I honestly have been so taken with the Takatsuki/Frank pairing that I have not yet followed through on the Vac 30/30 pairing as of yet. The second set of Black Treasure tubes I purchased here on audiogon, purportedly from Grant Fidelit... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR My Takatsuki's are at the 80 hour mark and continue to improve. This tube does not behave like other power tubes I have owned. Most have a period or a break in cycle at which point the sound is not optimum until a significant amout of hours are lo... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad,The new Takatsuki TA300B tubes are still breaking in. I've got 31 hours on them so far. They are truely a game changer in the Frankenstien amps. The highs are chrisp and well pronounced and the base seems much more controlled. It is un... | |

| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Swampwalker,I've got 4 used BT's that I'm going to try in my REN 30 this weekend. I've only had the stock Vac tubes in the amp since purchase. The Psvane 6sn7's were a great improvement in this amp so I'm curious how the BT's will sound with the P... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad,The one thing you didn't tell me about these tubes is that they come with couchlock!! You install the tubes, turn on the amp and the couch grabs you and you are locked in to the incredable sound these tubes make possible. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I received my Takatsuki's late yesterday and they are warming up in my Frankenstein amps now. Right out of the box, I,m hearing profound differences from the previous Black Bottles. I can tell that they take the Franks to a new level. I'll report ... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I've got a pair of the Tatatsuki's on the way now...hopefully. Paul, if you do pull the trigger, let us know how they sound in your amp. I'm thinking about getting a second pair before prices go up and the base changes. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Pdreher,That's an excellent idea with the 70/70. You essentially have 2 amps in one. |
