| Best 3 options for SET amps Thanks for the extra info Gliderguider,I've only listened to the Abbeys once for ~4 hours at a dealer's home, so being unfamiliar with his system and room only allowed me to get a general gist of the Abbeys potential. But, I didn't readily hear wh... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Rwd,VTV stands for Vacume Tube Valley, a website/magazine dedicated to tube electronics. Look here for the offical VTV Show webpageGreat show, I attended the last one in Los Angeles not too long ago. Small crowds, so it is easy to get into manufac... | |
| Best 3 options for SET amps Gliderguider,You bring up and interesting observation that I noticed but never really gave much thought. I loaned my PX-25 amp and I-Bens to Paul Lim of Imagine HiFi for the VTV Show in LA 4 months ago or so.I was surprised when he told that prefe... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution Hassel,I've heard the Tacco/Schroeder comparison several times from a few German Scheu owners, I assume the tables are fairly popular over there. Did you have a chance to compare the Tacco to a Schroeder, and if so, which one?There aren't too many... | |
| What would you say is the better sounding SET amp? "the 300B tendency to be overly lush and wooly sounding"I think this is typical 300B experience for a lot of people, including myself, but I now attribute that primarily to circuit desing and implemetation instead of the tube.My first 300B amp exp... | |
| Best 3 options for SET amps Well, there are quite a few excellent choices these days. Your three listed choices are vastly different in their approach to high(ish) efficiency, so it is hard to offer suggestions. The Conicidents are 97dB 3-way, the Royals are small 92dB 2-way... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution RWD,I haven't owned any of the Teres, Galibier, or Redpoint TT's simply because there is a substantial price difference between they and the Scheu. So, I really can't offer any informed opinion on the motors. The lowest priced Teres is still $1k m... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution Hi Sirspeedy,Scheu got a real visual winner on their hands with the new table. I cannot wait to hear the sonic benefits of this design (if any). It is interesting that they are moving away from the one of the primary design criterion of the late T... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution I can understand your frustration, Ad010685. But, don't give up so quickly, the performance of the table is incredible. Really on par with the other tables you are considering at a far lower price. I have two Premier mkII's (one w/ 50mm & 80mm... | |
| SCHEU Premier substitution Hi Ad010685,As you've noticed, Scheu has introduced a new website not too long ago and not everything works properly on it, so emails may not be getting to them.From your post on Audio Asylum and Inmate ID, I see you are in Italy. As Restock menti... | |
| Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars? Rundgren is a great experimenter, no doubt. And he definetly deserves credit for never getting stuck in a groove for too long.But, I just don't see how The Cars monotonic music(which I like) is going to survive his guitar pyrotechnics. There's not... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences I remeber reading in a thread that DougDeacon and his partner did some serious comparing between the two before settling on a Triplanar for it's ease of repeatable, cablibrated, adjustments. Hopefully he'll jump in with some insights.And I'm prett... | |
| Opinions on Todd Rundgren fronting the New Cars? Egads, Two parts The CarsTwo parts UtopiaOne part The TubesHopefully, the upside will be that The Cars won't be as deathly boring live as they were in their heyday.Any chance for "White Punks On Dope", "Number 1 Lowest Common Denominator", and "La... | |
| PX-25 Tubes. Too exotic?? Pawlowski6132,Are you asking about vintage NOS PX-25's? Osram, Marconi, etc. PX-25 are available from tube collector/dealers, but they start at ~$1,000 a pair and go up up to $2,000 or more(?). But, as I said in my first post, there are 3 current ... | |
| Transformer based passives vs passive stepladder Gliderguider,Do you know which version of the S&B Transformers your Bent has in it? The mkI & mkIII versions are supposed to be noticably superior to the mkII. I really haven't noticed any of the problems you mention going from my phono pr... |
