300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? I had the same questions when looking and because of all the recommendations on here I called Aric @aricaudio. This turned into many calls and emails to figure out what would work best for me. His customer service and equipment is top notch. Aric... | |
A switch for 3 amps @aricaudio Aric at Aric Audio built me one for just this reason. Luxman Amp and his 300 b amp. He put a dummy load just in case I decided to switch bit for forgot to turn the tube amp off when switching. Tube amps needs load! He built it kee... | |

REL S510 or S812 What speakers? | |
From B&W 804 D3 to Focal Sopra 2? I’m running sopra 3’s with a 300B 18 watt and the top of the line Luxman M10X. the secret is a good power supply. Both sound awesome just different presentations. | |
Shopping for a DAC at AXPONA The DAC’S in the Esoteric XD series are real good too. If case you see some at the show. | |
Component contributions to “sound stage” For me personally 1 Speakers (speaker placement) 1a acoustic treatment 2 amp and preamp had about the same influence 3 upgraded to discreet DAC Everthing else was minor compared to these. | |

Cable Break In for the Naysayers Nevermind I see in the previous thread where it shorted from your cable to the Rel. I can see that happening easily. I moved my Sub cabling to the speaker end for less congestion. | |
Cable Break In for the Naysayers Are these the same cables where one just shorted out for no reason? | |
Luxman leaves me wanting I went from a Luxman 550 to a Luxman M10X and now have both the M10X and an @aricaudio 300B pset. I’m chose it the 300b almost every time for just that better midrange vocals. I could not believe the M10X could be approved on but I’m leaning on ev... | |
Tube Integrated Amp Recommendation +plus one @aricaudio https://aricaudio.com/tube_gear.php | |
Cary vs Raven If your choice is leaning forward tube amps do yourself a favor and a take a few seconds to look at @aricaudio. I could not be more satisfied with the sound, look and customer service. Take a look at my profile pic. | |
Help With New Preamp Decision @jc4659 Thank you for the kind remarks! Aric gets an A+ for customer service as well. I have over 50 emails to him and he returned everyone of them. I had so many questions because I was brand new to tubes and he took the time to make sure I kne... | |
Help With New Preamp Decision I am extremely pleased with my @aricaudio Motherload XL! Take a look at my system pics. It is replacing a $15k Luxman c900 preamp. The 300B Pset amp is a winner as well! |
