| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles,Yes. "Caucasian Blackplate"is another Bottlehead employee who often posts on SET Asylum. But I agree that there's a lot of personalized vitriol on that board that can make it difficult to wade through.Interesting thing about the Bottlehead... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob!I think she'd love building that Kit. It's kinesthetically very pleasing to watch the thing come together. I especially enjoyed populating the PCB's with the resistors... it's somehow very satisfying. I'll repeat what I said earlier. It's ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring:As to your question about a 100% hard-wired SET kit, the Bottlehead Paramount 300B mono blocks come pretty close. There are, I believe, two very small PCB's in each block, but for the most part it's hard wired all the way.Although the K... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Folks,Somebody further up the thread just asked about where the 10.1 ohm output impedance figure came from. I don't have the issue sitting here in front of me, but I'm pretty certain Dick Olsher took the measurement himself as opposed to getting i... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles,Thanks for the good wishes and for being such a gentleman. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan,Thanks for the reply. Yes, Tim Smith's review was much more thorough. Israel points out in his manufacturer's reply that Olsher never even mentions that the amp has a headphone section...And I agree that if the stock rectifier is a turke... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? So TAS has finally come out with Dick Olsher's review of the Coincident Dynamo 34 SE. I find it an odd read... one of those reviews where the conclusion doesn't quite seem to match the body of the review.He describes his dismay that his rectifier ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Map,At this point, with the 3 PCB's all built up, most of what's left is "inter-wiring," that is, doing the wiring between the various PCB's themselves and between the driver PCB and the 300 B hard-wired "tag strip." There's also a little wiring a... | |
| PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers? Dazzlingmd,Yes, do tell us how that combination sounds! That's supposed to be a fabulous amp. Enjoy it! | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review Tubegroover,I've aways wanted to get my hands on that CD. I've heard it's awesome, and I actually like the Eagles, so it would be a double treat. :-) | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Grannyring: Wow, that's interesting. I think I'll see how the amp sounds with a conventional build, first. I can always do your mod later if I want to try. That's the nice thing about this process - I know where everything is and how it's connecte... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Tvad used to comment here all the time but I haven't seen his posts in quite awhile.Roxy: I know that a lot of SET owners are drawn to Klipsch because of their high efficiency. | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review Oh: as for comparing the De Capo to the Dulcet, they are cut from a similar cloth. Both very coherent and they disappear and image beautifully. But the De Capo's will play louder without any signs of strain beyond what the Dulcets can do - they ju... | |
| Reference 3A De Capo BE Review Nyaudio98,I had been using a pair of Manley Mahi tube mono blocks, in triode mode, which put out about 20 wpc into 8 ohms. They easily drove the De Capo's to louder levels than I'd ever care to listen. I sold my Manley gear to try a SET amp with t... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Whart,The only upgrades I purchased, due to budget constraints, were better capacitors for the 300B driver board (Mundorf Supreme Gold/Silver/Oil) and a 3 position input selector switch. But I can do other upgrades down the road... that's one of t... |
