| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? @corelli I did look at them and the Crystal 10 driver they use. They seem like an excellent value when compared to other full range offerings. I liked the Cube Audio speakers I heard at CAF, but the price...wow...way too rich for me. I can't b... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? I have a Dennis Had KT150 SEP and his LP-3a preamp, but I don't use them much any more. I built the P134B designed by Jack Elliano of Electra-Print with all top grade parts. Parts like Jupiter coupling caps, Audio Note Silver Tantalum resistors,... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? I have some experience with 3 different sets of affordable efficient speakers, some mentioned above. The amps I've run are a 3.5 wpc 2a3 SET and an 11 wpc EL34 SEP1) Tekton Perfect SET - Clean, clear, and powerful. Nice deep bass, powerful dynam... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror @teajay is very excited about this DAC and rightfully so. He invited me over to heard it and it was sounding excellent! I agree that it sounds better in his setup than than the stock MHDT Orchid and it wasn't even fully broken in yet!@grannyring... | |
| The new NSMT Model 100 Speakers I also had the pleasure of hearing these at Teajay's and was extremely impressed! Excellent tonal balance, an incredible 3D holographic sound stage, and massive bottom end power that blends perfectly. It's hard to believe that this little tower ... | |

| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? @on2hifi Just got to hear a couple classic Threshold amps, I totally agree! Great sound paired with a nice tube pre and quality source. | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Improving my amp did reduce distortion at high levels, but the room is still the main issue. Simple music sound amazing, but complex and loud overloads smaller untreated rooms in my experience. In an open space the complex music sounds much clea... | |
| The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up This review was the final straw to finally get me to pull the trigger on the Orchid. I'm really glad I did and I'm enjoying digital more now as an alternative to spinning vinyl. Lots of great CDs to be had for cheap! A little easier than huntin... | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING Unfortunately I missed out on that deal. They were low on them and I had to buy it separately. I got one of the last couple. Certainly worth the cost of admission! Seems a bit richer sounding and less digital. | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING How did you get the WE396a with your DAC? I just purchased one and it only came with what looks to be a GE tube. I'm hoping to try the WE396a out soon. |
