SET Shootout China VS The USA

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

Hearing something live has never stopped you from critiquing other speakers such as Vandersteen, Wilson, Dali, Zu, Tekton

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.

Like Frankie sings, 

**and I did IT my wayyyyy**

@mozartfan Man, you're all over the place, too many bold pronouncements about this or that being best. I love SET, and have two actual SET amps and one pp. Own or have owned two 845, one 300B, one 2a3 for SET. For pp, EL34, 6550, KT88, KT120, 6CA7. To say any of these tubes or amp topology is best simply untrue. I've enjoyed both pp and SET and all these tubes at one time or another.

 

I'm Verstappen  and Red Bull fan, not into Hamilton or MB, but I'd have to say Hamilton and MB got ripped. Hamilton increasing his lead with worn out hard compound tires, he was cream of crop that day. What officials did was NASCAR shenanigans, fake competition.

If this is Yaqin MS-2A3, makes no claim of being SET. states its PP, I see claims of 10-14wpc.

 

Whatever Yaqin model it is, likely combo of decent parts and others needing upgrading. That's been my experience with chifi relatively lower price equipment. Hopefully, they have decent design, in looking at Chinese 845 amps a few years ago, some were grenades just waiting to explode.
