Takayuki 300B vs Western Electric NEW Production 300B
I concur with jsch9876 excactly. The WE are sweeter in the midrange and the bass is fuller in the lower mids and upper bass. the treble isn't as extended. The Taks are faster, with a more punchy bass and open treble both are great depends what yo... 
Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with?
The new kid on the block First Watt SIT-5 mono's! They are fantastic! Beautiful tone and texture like my SIT-3, but more dynamic, open, and detailed. They sound so natural and alive. Much more power, so can be used with less efficient speakers. ...

Lalitk, thank you. You have a wonderful system and room too! On my Phono stage I use a TWL Obsession PC. My Takumi are on the Dac, Preamp, and Amp. I really enjoy listening to music on this system and that's what it's all about!

Hey chudysound, I have a Takumi pc on my Mola Mola Tambaqui and the synergy is great! The dac sounds smoother, more open, and more musical. If you can’t swing for theTakumi get The SML it sounds pretty close. I have three Takumi’s and love them...

CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
Hi no_regrets,  I have a Jay’s CDT2 Mk.3  transport.  It is a great sounding unit and is built like a tank!  Never compared it to a CEC. I don’t use it anymore went to a Grimm MU1 streamer at 5 to 6x the price. The Grimm is better but it doesn’t ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hey nymarty I’m pretty sure you can only use one or the other. Why don’t you use your amp outputs to your sub. I think it blends better and you get some of your amps character. Just by some copper speaker wire from Amazon not expensive. That’s h...

Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
First Watt SIT-3 if you can find one or the new FW SIT-4 should make you happy. I alternate between my SIT-3 amp and 300b Franks on my Horning Eufrodite Elipse. They both sound wonderful with the rest of my equipment!  
Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8
norust, I read  you are from the Southeast. If you are going to visit Greg at Volti Audio. You should definitely check out Colin at Gestalt Audio in Nashville. He has Horning speakers and Wolf Von Langa speakers. The WVL Son speakers would be a go... 
Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8
Hornings would make a great combo. I pair my Hornings with a FW SIT-3 and Frankenstein 300b mono blocks. The sound is so lifelike and natural especially with Jazz and female vocals.  The F8 would drive them with ease.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Hi Thyname, The Grimm MU1 was at the CAF in the GTT Audio room. Bill was running it with Mola Mola gear and Vivid speakers. I wasn’t crazy about the sound it was a little bright. Maybe it was the Class D amps? I have the Grimm MU1 and Mola Mola T...
