| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Thank you for all the info. My wife is a fabulous cook and loves the process of elaborate meals (she does it to relax) so I expect she'll enjoy building the kit after our move and we're settled in.Brownsfan, glad you get in some hiking as we... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles, yes, she is something else. Always handy around the house and she doesn't look like Annie the Riveter. SET gal, who has always loved the 300B. I am lucky Jet.I wonder if Brownsfan has gotten any listening in on the Dynamo. I would love to... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Now you've done it! My wife very much wants to build the AN Kit. She desires to do it by herself. Then, in our new home (late spring), she wants her own private room also. Thank God we'll have the space. I thought I was downsizing somewhat. ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I would guess just about any 8ohm spesker with above 92-3db would be optimal. Not hard for a reviewer to do. Lot's of fine choices in this category. Even Dick himself, has mentioned this type of compatibility in many other reviews if my memory ser... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I believe it is Dick Olsher's responsibility to utilize different speakers that have a chance to mate well with a given amplifier. Most reviewers would not mate a low-watt SET with grossly incompatible speakers except to note, for example, that on... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? P.S. I used Tekton 4.5s, mostly M-Lore, Lore. No problems. Also used my Infinity Prelude Compositions, 6ohm, 96db. No problem. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Ok, I'm sick in bed today, reading, listening to my Dynamo right now, playing Capitol's Great Gentelmen of Song, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Dick Haymes, Sinatra, Martin, Bennett, well you get the idea.I usually enjoy Dick Osher; but he is way... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Really enjoy following the blog, even my wife has joined with great interest. She is now thinking, hey, maybe I can build one also. Michal, my wife has been smitten by AN ever since an audio meeting around 2000 in New Jersey, most of the big... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hello Rebbi,Happy Chanukah! The Audio Note packing looks super. I' glad you noted how well thought out the various bags and sub-bags of parts were labeled according to build order. I' looking forward to the build (by you) and reading your thoughts... | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Dazzlingmd,In the Primaluna Dialogue 1, like you, I thought it was splitting hairs. Ultimately I believed the RFT Siemens ever so slightly had a fatter tone and was smoother on top. The Black Treasures had better bass, more extended on top, very s... | |
| PRIMA LUNA owners, what power tube are you using? Dazzlingmd,I recently did the same shootouts between the RFT Siemens and Black Treasure 6CA7s. In the Dialogue I like the RFTs best so far. In my Coincident Dynamo 34se I prefer the Black Treasure 6CA7 even though they are still breaking in. I hav... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE I can't compare it to the Decware 34.1ss, but I did purchase the Dynamo 34se, which is phenomenal. So far I've tube rolled the rectifier tube to Mullard late 60s 5AR4, plus Sylvania JAN 6SL7 WGT, EL34s from stock Shuguang (sounded good) to RFT Sie... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Rebbi,As much as I like the Tekton Lore, M-Lore and 4.5s that I own, I'd take Mapman's advice above. Keep the DeCapo, get them and your system working together, likely will sound terrific. If you do run into any problems with efficiency (doubt it)... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Rebbi,Tekton 4.5s, good to about 50hrz, not bright, not shouty, great coherent stage, lovely mids, I really like them. Quality all around for about $300 new. I now use the 4.5s in 12x14 bedroom. Break-in time to sound their absolute best about 200... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Check out Amazon for the Shuguang Black Treasure Tubes. Outstanding pricing. |
