| Calling all Horn lovers I don't get around on the Agon site as much as I used to so I am very late to respond but I am an owner of the Edgarhorn Titan system with single bass horn. Yes the bass horn is the size of a refrigerator but I can use it for a casket someday so i... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad I agree with my NOS 45's you never know the history and only test how high the microbos/ma rating goes on your tester and if they are quiet with no shorts etc. I am only relating my experience with 45's (not 300b tubes) purchased on EB... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I have heard different stories that tubes can still test strong after many hours (5000 plus) but loose their life in sound. I think I have discovered this with a pair of 45 tubes that were driven "softly" by a Korneff amp. yet sounded dull (on hor... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad:Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention I have no real detection of running the tubes hard in the circuit as I think both of our amps. qualify as over built.My transformers do not even get warm to the touch after 12 hours but the bas... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Thanks to all of you for your participation in this valuable thread. I am enjoying all of the comments and posted some earlier and will only say the Takasuki's are still my favorite with my amp. thus this comment is a bit off course and adds nothi... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I agree with your findings also Charles1dad and thanks for all of the time you have put into this thread. Now that we have praised both of these tubes (and the truth be known) I wonder how the sales will drive the prices? | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I would also like to thank you for all your learning experiences and want to thank those who commented on my two cents. I will mention I like a lot of various female jazz such as Jennifer Warnes, Hollie Cole, Diana Krall, Melody Gardot, and Patric... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Now that there has finally been some comment and comparisons done on these two heavy weight tubes I would like to add my two cents since I own both of them now and have done a good deal of listening to both. The comparisons were done in a Border P... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR GSMThanks for the effort in trying. I am sure your tubes are sold but if not email gwalters@charterwest.com. I will own both Takasuki one of these days along with my RPs. I own the Border Patrol S10 EXD with fixed bias so tube biasing is not a pro... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR GSM, I will also anxiously await your comparison and I think all we can ask is your honest comparison in your system as you know it and how both tubes relate to the listening pleasures you admire. We will all have to relax and make sure you feel t... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Gsm:I am also very curious at your findings of the Takasuki 300B vs. the RP. I second the results of the Psvang vs. the RP....the Psvang is not near as complete or refined and I would consider it a big step down from the RP. The RP has a very refi... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? For hi-efficiency speakers (over 94 DB) and after listening to 45 amps. I would like to highly recommend the Border Patrol S10EXD 300B amp. with Gary Dews as the guru behind this awesome amplifier. | |
| Any experience with HRS Harmonic Resolution system I own the SXR rack with 3 M3X isolation bases...expensive yes but once you see how it is built, finished and isolates equipment I think it will be the end of your search forever if that is where you want to be. I went all the way and use the Nimbu... | |
| Pairing Yamamoto A-O8S amp with Supratek Cortese I am running an Edgarhorn Titan ll system with Seismic Sub. The system is rated at 107DB into 8ohm load throughout. I have both a Yamamoto A08S and Korneff 45 and the 2 WPC will idle into these speakers. These two 45 amp.s are both in the top cate... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade If you are asking gwalt this question because I responded about cryoed tubes the answer would be it is not a huge factor in the sound IMO since I have tried them both. The AA Capitole SE/Prestige models have Sonicraft Teflon .10uf caps. and you ar... |
