| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Common autocorrect mistake, LOL. I'm not a vampire. I swear! Dracule means "son of the dragon".Anyways, I'm glad George was able to accommodate your needs. I didn't know Elrog made higher voltage version. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Hi Joe, how can one get hold of George Lenz?I'm surprised you're still sticking with the Elrogs. Metthias posted awhile back the Franks run the Elrogs near the edge if not above the recommended specs for 300Bs. I hope your second set lasts. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dear Matthias, given Elrog 300B failure in Wyan001's Lampizator DAC, I would not take the risk of buying a pair of your 300B tubes, unless I can be assured by you that your tubes will work fine with the Lampizator GG DAC and will be backed up by p... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Dear Matthias, thank you for responding to my concern. I have never used your 300B tube so I have no practical experience with AC filament supply with your tube. I have the Lampizator Golden Gate DAC that can use 300B, 45, or 101D tubes at the out... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you I have the Raidho D2 and rebuilt QUAD ESL57. I'm really a sucker for correct timbre and sound staging/imaging. Now I'm really considering the Carver ALS that just came out. Very unique design. One can play these at ear bleeding levels (not that I ... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan, that's some high praise for the Elrog. I really like what the Psvane 101Ds do on the Golden Gate. Let's hope Elrog makes a version that can handle AC filament supply. | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Going to direct sales and increasing the price compared to when Clayton Audio had dealer network sound pretty nuts. Should be just the opposite. Good luck to Clayton Audio. Just my humble opinion. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan, the Takatsukis are suppose to be true 300B through and through, unlike the Elrogs. I'm thinking of getting them for my Golden Gate DAC.BTW, how did the Elrogs sound with your Big 7? Were they the best sound you heard from your Big 7? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Wyan001, I was told by TA the Elrog can only handle DC heating, despite what manufacturer claim. It is my understanding the Big 7 uses AC heating. So I would be very careful. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Charles1dad, did you end up paying import duty fee on the Takatsukis? If so, how much? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Got a little excited and didn't read your last sentence. I'm not getting my hopes up with the Amtrans guys. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I tried that email several days ago but no response. Do you know if they're still in business? | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Well, here's a Japanese site that sells Takatsukis. It's about $1,400 USD for a pair. However, they're middlemen so the warrantee doesn't apply to sales outside Japan. If something goes wrong during manufacturer's warrantee, they claim they will t... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Trueaudiophile recommends the Takasuki's over the Elrogs now. I guess it has more to do with reliability than sound quality, but according to TA, the Takasuki's come closest to the vintage 300B sound. | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes I was interested in buying a pair of the Elrogs and contacted trueaudiophile recently. Unfortunately, they no longer carry them. The guy I talked to said it was a nightmare dealing with all the failures and warrantee issues. I hope someone will ca... |
