What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi, to me that is ad copy hype. Mark me down as from Missouri, the show me state. I'd have to hear it to believe it! Not likely to happen. I' m all in on Charles' remarks. The DHT 300B is the "Cat's Meow." The EL34 can have a excellent midrange... | |
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Saki, I believe you stated you own the Primaluna Prologue integrated, which I know intimately. I also own the Primaluna One with excellent upgraded tubes from the stock tubes. I also know this integrated intimately. Both my wife and I like the Coi... | |
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I have friends with Art Audio amps, very good product, but given your budget restraint tubes will cost you, no matter what 300B you decide on. Almarg provided you with a great solution for more inputs for the Dynamo. As Tim Smith wrote, re-tubing ... | |
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Well, Rebbi, your head seems to be spinning in the typical audiophile conundrum, what to do? I say this in a well-meaning way. It is really difficult to know which way to go when you can't listen to audio prospects in your own room. Budget restrai... | |
Does JBL get a bad rap? Boy, you guys are plucking my Low E, on my Ampeg fret less bass guitar with all this JBL talk. Really nice thread. | |
Does JBL get a bad rap? I think I had Heil as well as my first Ohm back then. My brother had the JBL 100s. We loved them. I remember listening to War's, The World Is A Ghetto, and thinking the proverbial WOW!! Loved the sound. The JBL 4319 looks really interesting at tha... | |
Does JBL get a bad rap? Mapman,I bought a nice system at Tech Hifi back around 1973. Did you work there at that time? I believe John Rutan sold me my system (could be wrong, memory gets foggy with all the rigs either I, or my brother bought). For some reason I really lik... | |
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Rebbi,The build quality is high. A mini tank. You will be able to pass this amp on to your grandchildren.My BlackTreasure 6CA7 tubes finally arrived from Grant Fidelity on Monday. I've been burning them in since then. I can already hear that th... | |
GTA SE-40 Service Manual now available Thank you. You are providing a superlative service to audiophiles. | |
Tekton speakers Still love the Lore as well as the M-Lore, they could be easily priced much, much higher. Eric has done a superb job of giving the audiophile community wonderful speakers that work great with most SET, or other low-watt amps. | |
Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Also Vandy 1c, or 2ce. | |
Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old I third the Sound Dynamics 300ti. Regret selling them. I bought them for the close-out price of around $250 circa 1995-1996, if memory is correct. They sounded really good across the board and the bass went cleanly down to approximately 34hz. Prob... | |
Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I'm just laughing my ass off. I love the wtf b.s. Why don't you go get another tattoo wtf guy. Yeah, I go to your restaurant, get petty about too much salt, call my friends to Yelp you to negative death since nothing you do (comps), can please me.... | |
Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Wtf, Wtf, it has everything to do with this thread. Eric makes very fine speakers chef, the OP was offered replacements, he didn't take Eric up on his offer, instead he complained about the cost of shipping (FYI nearly all manufacturers regardless... | |
Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Additional consideration of Eric Alexander's product from EnjoyThe Music: "Newcomers should buy this speaker to get a taste of what the High End is all about, and then consider upgrading everything else in their system. Seasoned audiophiles who do... |
