| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dracule1, Elrog is the best tubes that I heard on Lampizator. I don't even need to A/B with Psvane 101D 1:1 replica to know it is way better. Psvane has been a great performance tube and was my reference before. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes According to what I read on tube asylum, Elrog is expected to fix the failure issue by now. Any news on that? Charles, I keep J2 only because I occasionally build loudspeakers and I need J2 to tweek and burn in some components. It is a very good S... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, I still keep J2 but I do feel that Frankenstein is a better amp driving Voxativ. It is significantly more responsive to source component change than J2. Dracule1, thanks. I suppose that might be the cause then. I am also aware of Elorg/La... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I bought my Takatsuki pair from pricejapan. Their price after fees is actually the same as the price + fees quoted from amtrans. However, amtrans won't accept paypal payment and I really don't want to wait in the banks to wire transfer and thus I ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Alexzzz, thanks. :) | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Some post back, there was suggestion of modding the Frankenstein monos by adding about 200ohm of resistance somewhere. Instead of modding the amp, is it possible to simply make a tube converter/adapter that wire a resistor to the pin of anode (or ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes One of my Elrog 300B's also died on Lampizator Big 7 recently. Fortunately, they were still within warranty and I returned them for a refund. I surely hope that Elrog could sort out the issue. They were sounding fantastic. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I wonder if a tube radiator (like o ring, or Kryna) helps the matter... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes By the way, in the review by Dick Olsher, it states that Franks are easy on 300B and the anode dissipation is only 25W. Strange... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I've just ordered a pair of Franks and am also worried about tube issues. Not sure if Takatsuki will last long enough. :) | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes My recently acquired Elrog 300B replaces Psvane WE101D replica on Lampizator Big7 as output tube (Big7 has a switch to take either lower current or higher current tubes).Initial impressions are very positive. Right now it is not as refined as 101D... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles and Joe,Thanks a lot. I just read the short comment about J2 vs Frank. I like my J2 and Voxativ combo a lot. Nothing beats a single ended class A amp and a high efficient driver/speaker combo in terms of naturalness, ease, dynamics and mus... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles,Thanks. I am using a First Watt J2 to drive Voxative/Lowther full range drivers. The source is Lampizator Big 7 with volumn control. I do have quite some 5U4 type rectifier to roll and will roll some output tubes on Big 7 as well. I have o... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles, thanks for sharing. For Coincident Frank MK II, do you roll 6EM7 tubes as well? What is your pick? Thanks. |
