| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Thanks a bunch for the nice words. The IEC power section is built, as is the hardwired part of the 300 B section. I am just now, at this very moment, sitting here about to embark on populating the PCB for the driver section -- currently sc... | |
| PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers? FWIW, I took a long, hard look at that AA PX-25 amp the last time it was up for sale when I was working on my amp changes (ended up deciding to build an Audio Note Kit 1 300 B amp). The seller seems to have dropped his asking price $100 this time ... | |
| Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000. +1 the suggestion to get out and listen to as many speakers as you can. I know it's hard these days with the scarcity of brick and mortar dealers, but it's the best advice. Alternatively, try some of the directly marketed brands that give you an i... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Map,:-) | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jetrexpro,Exactly. Right now I will have the better capacitors (Mundorf Gold/Silver/Oil rather than the stock Mundorf Supreme) and the addition of the three-input switch. That tapped out my budget this time around, but I do envision more upgrades ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jetexpro:Yes, a TON of fun! :-) | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Jwm,You have outed me, yes. :-)I am a (Reform) Rabbi, it's true. I've been into music forever and fascinated with audio gear since my college days. And building (and taking apart) things is my play therapy. :-) | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Started the build last night. Transformer unpack photos posted and initial chassis build pics to follow soon. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,Thank you! Transformers come today! :-D | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks, Charles. The transformers should be fun to unpack; the box itself weighs close to 40 pounds! They are scheduled to arrive today. | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Shakey,I'm not really in the market for a single driver speaker; too many limitations and negatives. But I think that the wide-range + tweeter approach is a good one. That's essentially what my De Capo's and the various Tekton models seem to so. Y... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? New Kit 1 blog posts are up for those who are interested... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Then there's this thread on AudioAsylum on the very same topic... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Jetrexpro,Okay THANK YOU! :-)Got the first box from Brian a couple of days ago and will post blog photos and pics soon. Packed like a labor of love, I'll say that!Two more boxes to go. One heavy one with transformers due in a couple of days and a ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Well, first package arrived on Friday. This 15 pound package contains everything except the transformers. Transformer box due on Tuesday. Then a third box shortly thereafter because Brian ran short on a few tubes. He encouraged me to take inventor... |
