| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... More from Tim Smith: These small speakers are a bass-headÂs dream. They are fast and rhythmic. Even with a single-ended tube amp putting out 5 watts, they have floor-rattling bass. They handle Steve SwallowÂs electric bass with aplomb; Brian Rit... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... From reviewer Tim Smith: So what do the M-Lores sound like? They donÂt really have a distinct signature. They are more or less neutral. Seamless and well balanced. They can sound relaxed. They can sound energetic. They can sound warm if the sourc... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... By-the-way, John also helped build a nice-sounding system for one of my bother-in-laws around Vandersteen speakers. Great shop, so few left. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles,The tonality and timbre, naturalness are there, again, read the various reviews. Both Tim Smith and Scott Hull are thorough reviewers and speak plain truths as I know it with the Tektons.Grannyring, I played bass guitar during the 60s Rock... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi,There is a reason why Enjoy the Music, Stereomojo, Tim Smith, 6 Moons and his Wall of Sound review have given the Tektons (various models) high praise and Awards. Scott Hull in Part-Time as well, amongst many others. Those synth bass tracks ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... If I had a vote I'd throw my hat in with Almarg and Charles' advice given the circumstances; plus I doubt SS can sound similar to DHT SET, I'll have to take Grannyring's word for that, but it must be ball-busting difficult to pull that off. I wond... | |
| Threshold 400a Amp vs. Forte 4a Amp I'm a tube guy, but loved my Forte4 all those years back. Really good for solid state. Class A nice. | |
| Which integrated tube amp to go with which speaker I'd go with Melbguy1s suggestions. My brother has Leben CS600 with Harbeth SHL5. Great synergy and sound. You can't go wrong with that combo. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Look forward to reports as the unit burns in. | |
| 6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp The 6P3S-E and 6N3C-E are the same tube. They are military spec, ruggerized and specifically made to withstand higher plate current. Go to the Cryoset tube website, look them up, they have a comprehensive write-up on this tube plus the ones Cyrose... | |
| Setting up an audio system Hi Saki70,Yeah, getting old, my eye sight and reading comprehension is waning. Trust you are well. Happy listening! | |
| 6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp P.S. Kevin Deal at Upscale can usually help with the SED Winged C, but they are more expensive. A couple of other good sources: Brent Jesse or Andy at Vintage Tube. | |
| 6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp Thegoodarcher,You should read Jeff Day's (writes for Positive Feedback, also 6 Moons) blog at Wordpress, concerning 6L6s, Jeff did a tube shoot-out in his Leben 600; the 6L6 that won out was the NOS Reflector 6n3ce. They can still be gotten. Jim M... | |
| Best Dac under $600... New or used Second Truman above, or Mapman. Can't go wrong. | |
| Setting up an audio system I'm surprised you haven't dusted off the old Luxman receiver to hear how it performs today. Also surprised no one else has mentioned to give it a try. Best of luck in all your audio endeavor. Enjoy retirement. Have fun. |
