| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I dont know about that Dan. You have taught us a thing or two while making us drool over your DIY Garrard 401 plinth and I will not forget your Class D amp I am storing that note away for future reference. Grannyring-Thanks for the Clarity Cap tip... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... A super cool thing about DIY that I have found most enjoyable is the subtle and not so subtle changes in sound when I change out one part for another. If one wants a bit more "old school" warmth in their system, dont go out and buy a new speaker c... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Grannyring, If you have the spare parts building one would be a challenge but it would probably sound great. Plus you have Jack's notes on the power supply and transformer choice. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Yep and that's one of the drawbacks of direct coupled amps...the B+ is usually very high. Especially for a 300b amp. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Lots of direct coupled 45 and 2A3 SET amps but not too many 300b amps. Harder to drive a 300b tube without a cap or an interstage transformer. Plus a direct coupled amp has to be done just right or all sorts of bad things can happen of there is a ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? somebody got these amps for $1375+160 shipping. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Gannyring, 1 hour left. You can go to the electra-print website and see the schematic. Very tempting but I have no idea how it sounds - Jet | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Have never heard a direct coupled 300b. There is an electra-print direct coupled 300b amp on ebay now. the auction ends today | |
| Harbeth speakers vs Audionote I listened to both and like both but like Larryi there is a way the AN-e's play music that made me prefer AN. The E's are more efficient and can be tucked away in the corners that also pushed me to AN-e. (NYC apartment friendly). Beware - I starte... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Just a reminder to all that when one builds their own gear - it is hugely important to measure each resistor, capacitor to make sure it is the correct value BEFORE installing it into the circuit. Two reasons for doing this are: Making sure the cor... | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck I've got Beck "Morning Phase" on vinyl and it a really good record and sounds big full and warm. Good songs. Not making any comment about whether or not it should have won album of the year. Just saying it is a very cool record and is meant to lis... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Grannyring,Your right - Knowing the thrill of building audio equipment my comments are based on how Rebbi must feel about building that amp. I dont have knowledge of all the amp topologies available but if one can build an a amp that can drive the... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Rebbi, When I was building my system I faced some of the same issues. I didnt want to spend a ton of money and I listened to a wide variety of music. Rock, pop, Jazz Classical. You have an amp that you built that is capable of playing all of the m... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Tripg, The Subplatter is an upgrade that doesnt change the character of the Rega's sound and I am still enjoying it. Recently I changed from the Rega Exact cart to an Audio Note IQ 3. The Exact has a natural synergy and the Audio Note does as well... | |
| Do you use a wool record mat? Do you upgrade? I have done the Groovetracer Sub platter upgrade and the white belt upgrade and both yields very good results. The Groovetracer subplatter dropped the low frequency noise floor to nothing. I also tried Herbie's Audio Lab Mat in place of the felt b... |
