| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I tried tube dampers on the Linlai 6SN7 tubes in my Sachs preamp and they sucked the life out of the music. They weren't the fancy one like Herbie's, just silicon rings. I tossed them. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Charles, Thanks for you encouragement. You are the standard bearer on this forum for civility, audio knowledge, and good judgment... it has always been a pleasure to read your posts. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Gents, I have had the amp running for most of a week, now powering my Spatial M4 Triode Masters. I had a musician pal come by last weekend to listen to some music. He knows my system very well and noticed the difference right away with the new a... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Thanks for the encouragement, Charles. One potential limitation is the modest output of the amp. I can almost turn it WFO with my Gallo Stradas which are 87 db sensititive and I could possibly bear it a bit louder (briefly), but still pretty muc... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I was informed that the amp would arrive at the end of November, but it actually showed up today! I have it connected to my Gallo Strada's playing an FM jazz station. The amp is a heavy beast and the fit and finish seems first rate, particularly... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Don makes a good point, mirroring what others who are aware of how better caps, etc, improve the sound of electronics. The labor cost is no different if one puts in plebian caps vs better caps, the delta is just the cost difference in the caps. ... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 gregdude, I do use Don's preamp, being the 3rd purchaser of his initial version and now with the latest and greatest version. It is a fantastic match for the Kootenai. I bought a Wells Audio Innamorata SS amp earlier this year -- by far the gr... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I was an early purchaser of the LS50 and I struggled to make them sing with a 175 wpc Plinius SS integrated amp. I agree with Charles1dad that the R300 would not be a good match. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Good for you. I note that my expected delivery time period is between 11/10 and 11/29. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 Charles1dad, Don gave me quite a detailed summary of the internals of his 300b, which he is developing in association with Lynn Olson. As with his other gear, he believes it will far outperform much more expensive 300b amps on the market. I wil... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 carlsbad That is what Don Sachs suggested. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 evank Good for you. Shocking how inexpensively China can produce these amps. I don't see any shipping date for my unit yet. The other thing that swung my decision to buy the amp was that repairs are available domestically. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I bought it on Amazon for the oppty to return it if I don't fancy it. I think it can be sourced cheaper from China, but with more hassle, possibly. My tube guru Don Sachs has created a new 300b amp that he claims is significantly better than my Ko... | |
| DIY plans for audio diffusors SpatialKing, I have scoured the internet and found a plan for an easy-to-build diffusor from this site, but am unable to get the free download. I have 10 thumbs so I need something very simple to build. I did not check Pinterest, but will do so... | |
