| What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you? Lots of good recordings from all eras. In general, I really like material from 1950's into early 60's, still using tube equipment in recording studios. The way some of these recordings sound so real, palpable, with ease, sense of relaxation. The m... | |
| SET the best? To say 845 sounds similar to 300b or any other SET is nonsense. 845 plate voltage nearly 1000V vs 350v with 300B means everything. Power supply 845 massive, 300b baby in comparison. Certainly, transformers extremely important, but these two tubes ... | |
| Apologies to TMR Audio Twice I've seen posters assign blame to TMR, ironically, serving TMR well with so many coming to defense. I'd have much confidence dealing with them. Good to see public apology. | |
| Crossover help? Did you read that thread I mentioned, I find it hard to believe your tweeter not fried or board damaged. You have to make sure you haven't damaged voice coils, pretty fragile. Multimeter readings often of no use when everything in circuit. You hav... | |
| Crossover help? I searched and saw picture of upgrade, you have circuit board, per grannyring likely damaged pad or trace. Solder pads easily damaged in removal of original components, need proper desoldering equipment, don't force anything. Believe me I know fro... | |
| Crossover help? I don't see your system. Look at this thread,https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tweeter-blown-or-crossover-how-to-check | |
| SET the best? Compared to other SET and PP tubes, 845 always exciting, fast, immediate, impactful. Can also be refined or relentless, synergy important for last two. I prefer 845 driven by 300B, allows max refinement. Speakers for SET, usual suspects, Klips... | |
| Bully pulpits Not sure the bullies as critical to this what ever it is as the pulpit part of OP. Bullies are a dime a dozen. Bullies speaking from the pulpit is the menacing part. Recall historic churches with the high pulpits, preacher closer to God, high ... | |
| Crossover help? This is example of why one should take photos, more photos and more photos of any equipment one working on. You cannot have too many pictures. If OP took photos prior and wired up exactly the same, only fried components could account for failure. ... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq Melm mentioned pretty much what I was going to say. I believe we know virtually everyone having purchased 005. See if you can find Holo May vs Terminator review, extrapolate from there. Based on my observations Holo May has generally come... | |
| How to identify my weakest link? Integrated amp would also be my choice, many good ones out there. Keep in mind possible future speakers when purchasing integrated. I always think of amp and speakers as package deal. | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment @oddiofyl You should have fun with the 300B amp. I have custom built 300B monoblocks, 300B sweetheart tube. Speaking of recent purchases, latest Psvane Acme 300B and Linlai Elite 101D for Coincident Statement pre. Boutique 300B's worth the a... | |
