| Pros and Cons of using same brand IC- please Try either way and see what sounds better to you.When I said thicker gauge, I mean the strand wire ( not the whole cable itself.) If I have more choice, I would get rid of the Chorus and get something else for the CDP to preamp. | |
| Pros and Cons of using same brand IC- please It is really depends on if your system is neutral sounding or not. There is no definite answer to match each and every system. Assume your system is neutral, I use more refined IC (better grade fine silver and copper type) between the CD and pream... | |
| help buying capacitors definitely should consider film caps like Hovland, dynamicap, auricap. You can also go with beeswax caps like Jupiter or the Jenesen oil caps. | |
| which 300b tube sounds the best? Tomryan, I'm just a new 300B tube shopper like yourself. I got the Svetlana 300Bs for now. Looking for something different and better. | |
| which 300b tube sounds the best? Jond, how's the 98-C compared to other tubes you have heard? Some folks complain about 98-C being slightly on the hard sounding side over the TJ and the Western Electric. | |
| atc 150 asl pro The original passive SCM10 from the late 90sTried with half of dozen amp ranging from 55 Watt tube amp to 300 Watt SS amps. The amps are ranging from $1500 to $6000 in the used market. The preamps are also ranging from $1500 to $3000 in used marke... | |
| atc 150 asl pro I love my ATC speakers. The passive version is hard to match with right amp. However, when you find the right combination, it is the best modern speaker I have heard. | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? Yes. A shorted tube can cause all kinds of problem from blowing your output transformer, retifier tube, and other things in the chain. | |
| ultimate final word 3 on best passive preamp yes sorry I mean bpm. thinking too much about other things | |
| ultimate final word 3 on best passive preamp Still find the passive lack of attack. Indeed it is on par with top of line active. Very nice low level detail with good clean seperation. Since it is passive, it is never harsh and it is nice and sweet sound. Also found it slightly slower pace th... | |
| Floorstanders for small rooms? Budget $1200 used For a small room, I would suggest go with bookshelf monitor speakers. The near field speakers are usually more focus and detailed in a small room. Instead of jumping on swap any equipments, I would suggest you take your time to do some audition. | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? AES SE-1 vs Audio Note Kit 1While the AE SE-1 gives you a flexible of using either 2A3 or 300B, the Audio Note kit 1 has much better transformer and power supply.If you plan to use 300B and Audio Note Kit One is the way to go. If you plan to go wi... | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? 87db usually requires at least 20~30 Watts. What about Impedance drop? That's very important. If it constantly drops down to 4 ohms then the amp definitely cannot handle the load. You need to look at the curve supplied by the speaker manufacture.I... | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? The horn shoppe: Aside from bass cut off around 50 Hz, it should have a good tonal balance over all. However, placement and matching amps is tricky.Loth-X: Have not heard their high end models but entry level ones were quite a disappointment.Only ... | |
| Why 300Bs? Simplicity, purity, linear, euphonic and most importantly: class-A operation. Depends on how much power you need, it is probably the same reason why folks go after other SET output tube amps like KT88(in triode mode), 845, 211, px25, 2A3, and 45.T... |
