| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,Blogging the experience is a great idea. Most of us who followed this thread will likely read the blog with great interest. It might inspire some of us to follow your trail blazing path. Have solder iron, will travel.Charles, I get lucky wit... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles,The Eagles also have a good OL, although lots of injuries, plus a good running game. Also too bad the QB is injured, but I think the Eagles have the better Defense. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,That is great. Just bought my 6CA7-Z from Rachel at Grant Fidelity, plus past 300Bs and CV181s. Fabulous to work with them. You will likely like these tubes. Recommended by Israel Blume for his 300B amps amongst others. Again, best of luck w... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Happy Thanksgiving everyone,Charles, I'll take the Eagles over the Cowboys, agree on the others. My Giants are currently a Sad Sack team, how does that happen so fast?Rebbi, that is a nice Tube bundle from Parts Connection. I have experience with ... | |
| Opinions on Pioneer CS series speakers Saki,Do yourself a favor, take the advice of Loomisjohnso, Timlub and Hew. Go with something like the Tekton M-Lore used, perhaps their 4.5s. The 4.5s, if you can find them will be less than $300. I believe a used pair of M-Lores were up for sale ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Congrats Rebbi,You have more courage than me. For some reason I'm a bit snakebit when it comes to building amps from kit. Maybe it's my brothers fault. When we were teenagers I'd come from school and want to spin some tunes only to find the parts ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Rebbi,I delt with Galen Carol on a number of occasions, he has always been very helpful. In fact, my last purchase from him was a Jolida FX10 for a desk-top system paired with 93db 8ohm Tekton 4.5 monitors. Very good sound. The FX10 put out abo... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Oh, forgot the NOS Mullard 60s rectifier, $90. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles1Dad,Agreed. For giggles down the road, as a wild experiment, since I really will purchase the Franks, perhaps I'll get the Mullard 378 and plop it in the Dynamo to hear what it does in the Dynamo prior to installing it in the Franks...it w... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,I don't take your question as snarky. I would take the 300 DHT every time in a well designed and implemented amp such as the Coincident Franks. I don't know anything about the Bottlehead, except what I have read.Charles has really outlined w... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I really do love tube rolling and hearing for myself what happens; so much fun. I think this current combo of tubes is going to be hard to beat. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? In the meantime the Black Treasure 6CA7-Z's are breaking in nicely on the Dynamo. I must reiterate that I can't believe I am listening to a $1,300 amp with no need for preamp. Pavarotti just completed a piece, I'm stunned really; Brownsfan is so r... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles,Yes. I was being tongue-in-cheeky. Excellent site most often times; but you must admit some of those responses were hilarious. Had my head spinning. More like the Straw Man talking to the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz. Does the hypotenuse cr... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Saki70,Those comments were LOL. Likely, most of those folks are in an Asylum. Straight-jacket Extreme Tubegoobers (SET Asylum). | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Tubegroover,Sorry you lost out. If I saw it (Golden Tube 300B) I'd try to buy. I believe stock it would be fantastic with th DeCapo. It has great iron. Now, if you were to spend about $1,000-1,500 to upgrade capacitors, resistors, etc., plus ge... |
