| Ocellia speakers and power Mechans,I understand your waxing poetic, the PHY-HP 12 inch driver really seems like a quite special unit. I hope to hear some version of it (Tonian Lab perhaps) at the RMAF this year. I also read that 6 Moons PHY article, fascinating story. It wa... | |
| Digital Cable Question Craig,In theory they shound be different but the reality maybe some thing else. Some brands, ASI Liveline and Kondo-Japan for example use the same analog cable for digital with great results. I happened to use the Liveline and it`s just a remarkab... | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Alberto,You come across as someone who is mature,happy and self assured. Your reponse to David displays patience and wisdom.The whole point of this pastime/hobby is to enjoy the gift of music and indulge as much as one reasonably can. The Shindo C... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hello Paul,To my understanding the Wyetech Topaz(211 tube) is considered one of the true great SET amplifiers. I`ve never heard it but have no reason to question it`s highly regarded status. The Frankenstein I know well(owned almost 2 years) and i... | |
| Some impression on Zu Omen Definition Gte357s,Are the Zu speakers broken in?Either you just need to experiment and fine tune speaker setup or you may simply prefer the sound of your B&W with your present components.3 way speakers can be very coherent with proper implementation.My ... | |
| Amps Using the 211 Tube Transnova,I think you meant your amps can switch between ultralinear and triode push-pull, not switchable to SET circuit, correct? | |
| Amps Using the 211 Tube I love DHT tubes!But I agree with onemug, just about any answer concerning audio components/sound could begin with "It all depends" | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier Donc55,I generally agree that often the simpler and less complex component (given equal built quality) sounds superior. However I think you`re off base with your reply to Stephen. Look, he compared both amps in his system and clearly preferred the... | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Plinko,Given Alberto`s comparision comments above, I think the Cortese is here to stay. There won`t likely be a return to the Montille. | |
| Shindo Cortese - First Impressions Hi Alberto,Very enjoyable and interesting initial review. How does the tonality and timbre differ between the Cortese and the Montille? I can appreciate you joy, I love a good quality SET amplifier. | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion Colrane1,That`s a very good suggestion, I`ve read and have heard nothing but excellent comments on that amplifier. I use the Black Treasure Series 300b in my amp and it`s superb! That amp would coast driving the Zu 98db speaker. | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion Viridian,Your point is understood, but in the context of an initial step into the DHT-SET world They`re many choices available with the much more commonly used(easy to find)tubes that still offer excellent sound. | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? The top of my list includes, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery(early) Barney Kessell and Mark Whitfield. They`re all wonderful and I play them quite often. | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion I also feel that a DHT based amp is the ultimate in sound.The 45,2a3 and 300b(I`ve heard them all)can sound superb or merely average. Depends on implemetation and parts quality. The 300b(there`s many to choose from)can provide 8-10 watts in a SET ... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion Very good thread and advice for some one new to SET amplifiers. Darkmoebius, you are so correct with your advice concerning preamps, choose carefully! A good SET amp is capable of extraodinary nuance,inner detail and purity of tone. The preamp mus... |
