| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Bill,You should without question remain in your current "happy place". My only point in bringing up this issue was to illustrate how you can sometimes disagree with people whose ears you most often agree with. Subjectivity being what it is, at ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Cal,For Israel I'm pretty certain it would be the Pavane Black glass version. I Often agree with Israel in most cases regarding the sound of different items and components, but not in this case. The truth is that some will share his view that the ... | |
| Review: Lahave Audio Khara Speaker Bill,When I read the general description of these speakers(simple crossover and easy load) I thought a high quality tube amp should mate well. Especially a SET with adequate power. I'm glad this worked out so sucessfully.Charles, | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Bill(Brownsfan),I received an interesting email today from audiogon member Mark who recently got a pair of the Elrog ER 300b tubes. He loaned these tubes to Israel Blume to try in his system. They both feel that these tubes were just a subtle impr... | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... John, On a friendly open forum such as audiogon we attempt to help each other with recommendations based on our experience/outcomes. You never know if what worked for you will turn out the same for someone else. So when I read about your deeper in... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Well, that makes sense to me. I for one certainly don't need to be sold on the advantages and benefits of high-quality SET amplification. I'm hooked for life.Thanks,Charles, | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Roxy54 and Rebbi, It is so pleasing to read how much joy you guys are getting from your 300b SETs. Pure natural musical delight!Very simple circuit,fewer parts and good implementation= superb sound. I glad you all decided to venture down this path... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Ddriverman,The issue of compatibility of the Elrog with various 300b amplifiers has been raised on this thread. Given that you have two different 300b Amps it will be very interesting to see how these tubes perform in two different amplifier circu... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? If the impedance curve is relatively flat that certainly is an asset. Generally speaking S ET amplifiers like to see a higher speaker ohm impedance. Driven very successfully with 3 watt amplifiers does attest to its easy to drive capabilities. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes A few people who have compared the Vintage W.E. 300b and Takatsuki say they're very close. The Takatsuki more extended bass and the W.E. a tad more midrange magic. The cost of the W.E. is so astronomical that I had no interest in trying to get a p... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hello Ddriveman,I haven't had the opportunity to hear the"vintage" Western Electric 300b, Only the later era reissue version. I didn't like the W.E. reissue 300b in my amplifier. The EML XLS and Takatsuki were much better sounding in my system. Th... | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia Pani,I agree with you. IMHO The TAD CR-1 resides in a higher tier compared to the speakers considered by the OP(the YG and Magico). I haven't heard that particular Sonus Faber so I can't comment on it. | |
| Why does my tube amp Casey621,You're doing it the right way, relying on and trusting your ears, just simply listen. The only person you have to satisfy is yourself. You enjoy listening to music in your home. Which ever components enrich and improve this experience is ... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Dev,That's interesting because the Horning speakers are a 4 ohm load. Seemingly more towards push pull friendly than most SETs.Charles, |
