This by the way is not to take anything at all away from the great speakers here!

Ahh...does anyone realize that nothing like that is used at the recording end? They use bog standard digital cables from the likes of Mogami and Belden, with objectively good specs and performance. Digital transmission is not a Great Mystery, it i...

@  grannyring that was my taked on foil inductors too. I had to  zobel it to deal with its internal capacitance. Easiest, of course, to just buy a less expensive coil that does not do that. Live and learn.@ charles1dad It's been my personal experi...

@ grannyring Would you be considering the goertz foil type inductors? 
Tekton Double Impacts
@ grannyring...here, this is what you need to find the inductance values of the inductors. This is much less than the cost of ONE mundorf capacitor.  http://www.ebay.com/bhp/inductance-meter

I too have found that calling on the phone works better than email. I have  found that smoke signals and carrier pidgeons are also problematic.

I have had the pleasure of listening to some fine SET amps, Jcarcop's included. And have enjoyed them very much.  And when talking tubes, I am ONLY ever interested in SET designs; push pull tube amps do nothing at all for me.But, I favor good SS d...

Kdude66, what was your fav SS amp of the bunch? I take it that preamp is your go-too preamp? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes, the "missing transmission line " effect. Good thing we had those socks! And crown moulding!

And all razzing aside, I was one of the factors for Jcarcopo to buy the DI's. The design looked like a winner. And, yes, I fully expect them to sound just fine with good SS.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Which is your favorite with the DI's? 
Tekton Double Impacts
Darn, you gave it away too soon!Yes, I have listened to earlier iterations of J's amplifiers. They had a very lovely, melt into the couch, sound. But only when the speakers ports were stuffed with audophile grade socks!

Hi Mac48025, I read post where the guy was talking about up front shoutyness on his SS amps. Was that a desirable quality he was seeking?

J Carcopo does your SET sound PHAT? Does it have PRAT? Or do cymbals splat?I love the idea of using SET's as super expensive, low powered , resonant tone control and harmonics generators. Yay. Just how much did your SET cost? I hope, at least, tha... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I seem to have it; and to make matters worse, it is from a computer based system! I know that anything I would think would be suspect; after all who hates their own work?But I have quite a few listeners over from time to time, and they get to rema...
