| Merlin VSM and SETs? Time to call Bobby. | |
| Merlin VSM and SETs? I'm googling Wytech as soon as I finish typing this. The 300B has me a bit concerned regarding bandwidth, but I know the circuit design is important too. | |
| Merlin VSM and SETs? Canadiandog, are the Wytechs PP? Or dual output tubes? That is a lot of power for 300BSnx, did you prefer the Joules?Goergemg, that is the concern. You had pretty powerful SET, but ultimately seem to have preferred the 50 watt PP.This makes me thi... | |
| Merlin VSM and SETs? Now those Cary's are 50 Watt or so? I was hoping to get away with 16-22 watts if possible. SOunds like high power requires 845 tube or possible 6CC33 - 2A3 and 300B are out of the picture. | |
| Merlin VSM and SETs? So far I am not too encouraged. I was thinking of SETs in the 16-18 Watt range, but I suspect this may be pushing it with the Merlins (I'm not changing speakers). I was thinking something like the Art Audio Carissa (16 watts 845s) or Almarro 318B ... | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? You are right; I think that is what Misc Audio is for. | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? Atmasphere, your amps are among the best, but he claims to want "soft and WET", which he is unlikely to get with your stuff, or CAT for that matter; now if he wants fast,neutral, transparent and clear along with "ballsy" bass... Then again, I don'... | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? You did mention hybrid, I think Tenor has new hybrid amp on the market. | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? Esoteric and exotic? I don't about that, I'm not sure I even really know what you mean by that. If you want a great (one of the finest) tube amps with SS-type bass and control get the CAT. The monos are $30,000, that should be pretty esoteric and ... | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's I'm using Cardas Golden Reference as recommended by Bobby who makes my Merlins. That recommendation may be specific to my speakers and might not be universal. I've heard Ken say he does not favor silver in ICs and speaker cable for his amps. | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? What do you mean "more on the high end side"? Power? Price? Quality? | |
| Tube Amp recommendation In that price, I've been looking at the Almarro 318B (Japaneese made SET 18 watt integrated) - you see a good review at sixmoons. | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? I don't you'll get better bass from a tube amp the CAT JL2 and JL3s. "Soft and Wet" - I don't think so, tranparent and natural maybe. You could probably work on the pre side of the house mush up the sound a bit. | |
| Pre Amp or Amp Best Money Spent Tvad, the article you provided the link to is really a must read; I reread it at lesiure. I finally really understand why Bobby (designer) says the Merlins are made for tubes and why the little Ars Sonum can drive them so well. I've argued in the ... | |
| Pre Amp or Amp Best Money Spent Richard also likes Rotel with the 2Ces. See what he thinks. You get a lot of power for the money with Rotel, but Richard is the go to guy. |
