Thank you David. I'll look into that. -Scott
Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe
I'm the original owner of a pair of K's which I've had for about 9 months. I really enjoy them and they're placed in a 30 x 12 room with a sofa bordering 10' of that 30. I listen about 10-12 feet away. Speakers toed in accordingly. Pushed by a Pass XA 30.8. Preamp is a Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme. I'm overall pretty pleased with this set up but am searching for greater punch and clarity in the midrange frequencies at lower volume levels. I'd like opinions on 2A3 or 300B SET's or EL 34 or 84 push pull as a means of addressing this. Thanks for input. -Scott

If a slight "tailoring" of your sound is all that is needed would a Schitt Lokius suffice at $299 with 15 day money back guarantee? Seems like a possibility before making a large dollar gamble. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in California |
@david_ten Does Scott/Found Music have a website? A search just turned up your post and Mike's over on WB thanks. |
I personally love NOS Vitamin Q 196P’s and use them in my own builds. However, I would not like to see other caps which sound fine, even outstanding to the majority of consumers precluded from consideration on the opinion of one person, hence my proffering an alternative viewpoint for consideration. Peter Qvortrup’s Audio Note amps are not voiced specifically for Audionote caps, as many were designed when Jensen were their supplier, and these capacitors sound markedly different to those of current Audionote manufacture. Some were even originally supplied with ERO polyester (yes polyester) caps. Good capacitors sound good in these amps. Period. |
