SET Shootout China VS The USA


2A3 SET from china arrives any day now.

The tech who loaned me his UX250 (aka 50 Tube) amp, with a  12AU7 in front + a  6BH7 (??) , has incredible pure Cobalt out trans. ($1k+ each back in 2000, now no longer in production). . he will help me set up the  2A3. 

Has a  AX+AU my 2 fav front tubes anda   quad of 2A3's. 

My speakers are pure neutrality, no coloration, no distortion,. 

So whatever amp/ source you plug in, will register the nuances inherent in the circuit.

Will be very interesting. 

USA has pure cobalt out trans which gives the edge in power, but the china 2A3 has a 2 tubes per channel.

Gonna be interesting and will post a  YT upload with comments,

AFTER TESTING IS COMPLETEED.

Hand on to your horses at the OK Corral. 

Grab a  beer at the saloon, 

sundown shootout at the edge of town.

Then make a critique, or insulting comment. Not til you actually heard them live.

Hearing something live has never stopped you from critiquing other speakers such as Vandersteen, Wilson, Dali, Zu, Tekton, etal. In fact, you have made that pronouncement over and over and over. The same thing is good for you too. Besides, you continuously remind everyone that your videos capture the sound in your room. It is fair game. And as many have said, your system does not come close to sounding good in your videos.

 

seems rather bright. If you don’t mind answering, what’s on your back wall? Tracy Chapman - New Beginning, is a spectacular recorded & well written album btw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Was thinking this same thing last night late. Some sort of wall treatment would not hurt. back wall awkward has a closet door and door and 2 book cases along side wall rear. How about this I get attic insultaion, and ghang 2 strips from ceiling to fllor, just in front of 2 bookcases, this will prevent some waves from bouncing along back corners and such. Will do this treatment today,, I think it will dampen some echos and such. Thanks for the tip. And yes will order Tracy Chapman today. Thanks

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dont need to hear Teks, Zu’s. I can look at the design, cone materials. Not for me, There are resonances and spikes in both designs, I can easily spot it. The YT vids only confirm what I suspect. My DL’s are pure neutral like the Seas Excel. Zu’s have no xovers, a good tghing, but the cones are some sort of paper composite, I avoid anything paper.

has to be wood fibers, or banana/Kanuf leaf fibers in my FR cones.

Gee, I wonder why🙄

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because the DIY FR Committee has banned such a design. After I showed THE FR Club my design was a stunning success, ( I told them I really believe I have the best midrange sound in the world..,, they promptly booted me off the DIY forum,,no big deal, I did not learn even 1 thing over there about FR systems)) , Ever heard of Thinking OUTSIDE the box. Creativity is something that can make NEW things happen. I never ever follow the crowd in things audio. In 10 yrs you will see my idea take off. Just BECAUSE no one has tried a dual FR system, why equate this with *not doable*. I follow my own ideas.
