What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Brownsfan,Your experience mirrors my own. My father, mother, uncle and other relations were musicians. My uncle had a large pre WWII collection of 78s, he lived in the house next door and I too spent hours upon hours listening to them. Between my ...

What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Charles,Yes, our musical tastes are very similar. In fact I started following your threads because you made statements about the quality/type of sound that you like and I stood up and took notice, thinking gee, this Charles person is someone to pa... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Brownsfan, Charles,After the new house is finished (late spring) the first purchase I'm going to make is the franks. Between now and then l'll be having fun with the Dynamo. The Mullard is superb as it stands, but I likely will try some other rect... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Charles, I'm fairly certain Brent Jesse has the Mullard CV378. A couple of other thoughts I didn't mention in my comments: The stage was enormous, all instruments were easy to identify, truly coming from black backgrounds. Voices were centered and...

What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Brownsfan, I'm looking at Brent Jesse tubes as I write this, listening intently to the little Dynamo, the music just flows, neither too Yin or Yang, just right to my ears. The stage is wall-to-wall (14 feet) and deep as the recording allows. Timbr... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Hello Charles1Dad,First, thank you for all the helpful comments. I believe I will likely go Coincident speakers, or one of the following: Dadaedlus, Devore Orangutan O96/93, Line Magnetic 755 Field Coil or something else like these. I currently ow... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Hi Charles,Thanks! When I move into my new home (late spring) I will likely purchase the Coincident 300B/preamp combo. You, as well as Brownsfan and some others, have provided me with the information I needed to make a well-thought out decision. I... 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?

Best tube amp choice for Focal Electra 1038 Be
Vad58Another thumbs up for John at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ, one of the All-Star dealers in all of high-end audio. I moved to Boca Raton, FL and also spend a lot of time in Ga. I really miss John and traveling to his shop, and I can tell you...

What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Brownsfan, Charles, thanks for all your wonderful conversations on the A'gon about Coincident SET 300B as well as this Dynamo newcomer. The rectifier tube is already upgraded with a Upscale NOS Phillips. I checked my tube stash and found a matched...
