CALLING ALL YAMAMOTO A-O11 2A3 OWENERS /

Fortapache,
I imagine your system sounds very special and conveys the emotion of music very well.

Jetrexpro,I`ve admired your system for a while.How does this Yamamoto 2A3 amp based system contrast to the sound of your custom 300b SET amplifier?
Charles,

Charles,
An interesting question and since our systems (speakers especially) are very different. Fortapache's Abbys/2a3 Yammamoto simply make music with immediacy and excellent pace with no embellishment. I was struck by agility of the 2a3/abby's. A Jazz lover's system for sure with a purity that was compelling. My AN-e's with 300b's add a richness and texture to the music. A palpable reach out and touch richness but with clarity and pacing. I would love to hear my E's driven by the Yammamoto. Niether of us use preamps.
Both systems can play many types of music, but if I were playing Rock and Classical I would lean to the Audio Notes and if I were a mostly Jazz fan I might head towards the Abbys.

Charles1dad. First and foremost.I have appreciated your intelligent audio insight as well as your fine system for a while. Yes the system conveys the total gestalt of the musical moment. It conveys the soul of every musician involved. I feel music must stir ones emotion in a compelling gripping way that makes one feel as you know the musician personally! This is how the yamamoto amp makes me feel. I really would like to hear the yamamoto 45 amp.

Fortapache,
Thanks for your very kind comment.
I can relate completely to your priorities,communication,soul,emotion and involvement.If these are absent nothing else matters or can substitute for them.Your system must provide you with an abundance of musical pleasure and honesty. It`s funny you mention feeling as though you know the musician.I`ve come to notice that connection when listening.I really feel as if on some level I know Carmen McRae,Thelonious Monk,Miles and Chet Baker among others I hear often.
Charles,

Charles1dad. As a spiritual music brother I would like to ask you a question because your mention of the great Chet Baker.I was contemplating a forum for Chet, but I see it's already in place. I was surprised to see so many people who thought Chet wasn't a great trumpet player. wow!!! The Yamamoto amplifier tells me this is so untrue. What do you think? Be well brother;;;
