| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I was able to find a quad of gently used KR 300B's to try in my VAC REN amp... so I'm out of the running for the mysterious megabuck Takatsuki's. A part of me is sad that I won't get to try them, but the money saved by going with the KR's makes it... | |

| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I've been beating the bushes for the last few weeks trying to find either new stock EAT 300B's or KR300B's with no luck. Thought I had found a pair of EAT's at Elusive Disc, only to be told at the last minute that there is zero availability from t... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I may pull the trigger today on a quad of Tatatsuki's. I cringe at the price, but figure it to be a once in a lifetime purchase. Hope they live up to the hype! | |
| Tube preamp recommendation ... I've used Plinius SA-102 with Aesthetix Calypso to good effect in the past. The two can be had for approx. $2,500 each. | |
| 300 B Shuguang Black Bottle tubes Melville - how many hours do you have on the BT's? I may be interested in them if you decide to unload them. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Al - I have the Signature version of the 70/70 with the enclosed chasis, so I'm not sure the non-signature version would be the same. I say this because I shared this tweak with Audiogoner "Waltersalas"... and he was unable to get his 70/70 mk III... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Markus - Now that I've put my Daedalus thru a formal break-in process, they are sounding great.BTW, in talking to Brent @ VAC, I've found a way to get the sound of my old 30/30 out of my 70/70 Sig. by simply taking out a row (quad) of 300B's. In d... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles - I agree, both of the VAC REN amps are great... but the 30/30 would be a heck of a lot cheaper to retube with Takatsuki's @ $1,450/pair! | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Markus - continuing my rambling thoughts... then I'll sell my VAC 70/70 Sig. to fund a quad of Takatsuki's for my old 30/30 that you are going to sell me back, right? ;)... and we can go in together on a big order of Takatsuki's and get a discount! | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Markus - I think you should sell me back my VAC 30/30 so you can fund the purchase of the Takatsuki's for your Frankensteins. What do u say! | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Honest1 - As a Daedalus Ulysses owner, I'd bet that the Daedalus speakers you auditioned where not properly broken in. I've had my Ulysses for about 4 months now, and initially, I was ready to give up on them... but armed with good advise from fel... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Ditto HArbeth M-40.1's. Retail @ $13K. Great speaker IME. | |
| Good Speaker For Vintage McIntosh C22/MC275 Any of the smaller Harbeth's or Spendor's would be great. | |
