Softone 300B SET AMPLIFIER
I had the now deleted Soft tone 2A3 SE Triode amp to play around with, and believe it or not it sounded great at big levels driving these. http://www.whatsbestforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30732&d=1485082531 Cheers George |
or you’re just being funny? No, just ask Al from DEQX, after he heard it with the Goldmund’s, he bought the Softone off me that day for $1.5k We played a trick on him when he first walked in we hid the minuscule Softone behind the equipment rack, behind a massive Threshold amp that looked to be the amp he was listening to. You must understand though, those original Goldmund Apologue speakers were passive and are a very easy impedance load and around 100db efficiency. Cheers George |
did you try the $800 softone 300b amp? I also am saving for a Don Sachs preamp $3.2k, having never tried tubes but Don's is a very expensive hit & will use all my savings for a year. My equipment chain is ead ovation 8 preamp, ATI 1505 (5 channel 150 watts/ channel) amp, Thiel 2.1 floorstander speakers, schiit gungnir dac, CXN streamer dac. Only see 2 of don sachs items sold on audiogon for last 3 years,but do not expect I could sell the $800 softone for much, given its low cost & lack of reputation. |
