300B PSET
Missed a word above......"less power should NOT mean less bass". 
300B PSET
I have designed both SET and PSET and still make both. My experince, as mentioned above is that a well designed SET should not compromize dynamic authority. Less power should mean less bass.PSET amps done right can provide the best of both worlds.... 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
I don't think its a lack of interest in high end audio but more a lack of appreciation of music by the younger generation. If you listen to todays music, it becomes obvious that no matter how good the system, it will still sound like crap. High en... 
Need advice on a tube line stage
Hi JA, It will be interesting to see your findings with a passive unit(s). Curious as to which ones you will be trying. I have found that passives and solid state amps don't provide the most potential the amp has to offer. There seems to be a lack... 
HT input anomaly on Grounded Grid Preamp
It sounds to me that there is certainly something not correct in the wiring. I have been designing and building tube preamps for years and many with HT bypass. It is a very simple configuration and the volume control should have absolutely no effe... 
Recommend a recording that shows of soundstage
Glad you liked Simao?History is a great recording. One of those albums you want to crank to 11. In fact, a lot of Michael Jackson's recording are nicely done. 
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm
Hi Zanth.my comments were directed to nobody in particular. They were simply a general statement. I am not one to debate or make any attacks on anyone's personal observations. I apologize if they came across as such.

Believe it or not...Vogue by Madonna. I believe it is on the Immaculate Collection album. This is recorder in Q-Sound and there are parts when she goes into vocals where her voice comes from all corners of the room if the system is capable. 
I'm gettin weak bass and dynamics in one speaker
Start first by swapping speaker cables left to right. First thing to do is make sure its not the speakers. Then if its not the speakers, you can isolate the problem by ways mentioned above. 
Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Your are correct Charles1. It was not written correctly. Thanks for clearing that up. 
Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Any decent tube preamp or buffer stave would go nicely with Class D amps. As mentioned, tubes are the key to a well balanced system using Class D amplification. We have been designing around Class D for several years.The Bel Canto's have a high in... 
Whats the ultimate 300b or 211 set amp 36watts rm
There are far too many high end models out there to say one is the best. We (Purity Audio Design) have an upper end pair of PSE 300B mono blocs that utilize never before seen output transformer technology among a few other things. Im not saying th... 
Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp
This model of the Vincent does not have soldered tubes. If I recall correctly, it is the tube in the window that is soldered but is only for show and not in the audio circuitry. If you look at the internal pictures, you will clearly see the tube s... 
Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro
Saki...I would be interested in your findings once you install the preamp back into your system. I know the 105 is a nice unit as well as very versatile but have yet to find anyone (at least not any of my customers or potential customers I have sp... 
Repair mingdac mc3008c mono amp?
Have you tried replacing the tubes first? Always first suspect in tube pieces when there is a problem. Just swap the tubes from one amp to the other. If the problem follows the tubes, you just need new tubes.If it stays in the same amp, then you c...
