| Highly efficient speakers to pair with my SET amp Altec 604, 605, Valencia, model 19 - all are super efficient (~97-100dB/W) with good midrange, bass, dynamics and natural tone.Can be driven by any SET amplifier including flee power 45 and 2A3 tube SETs. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Thank you!It looks like I can squeeze 50uF ClarityCap TC600 under the hood of my integrated amplifier.Regards,Alex. | |
| Mundorf M-Tube in Tube Amplifier Power Supply Hi @grannyring ,Thank you for information.How can you describe a difference between Mtube and Clarity TC?Do Clarity TC have a better tone?Many ears ago I tried to use Solen capacitors in power supply and I don't like synthetic tone of Solens compa... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? To use or not to use preamp it depends from a system and amplifier topology.I use SET 300B amplifier. And in this topology the short signal path is important.My amp is integrated and it is a good solution for low power SET amplifiers.I also have a... | |
| Audio Show.... Hi @roberttcan ,I have been at Montreal Audio show during 4 years. Some of exhibitors always, year from year do a great job to get good sound in their rooms. Equipment is changing but sound is always good. (Examples are: Audio Note, Rega-Harbeth r... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Yes, vinyl is tricky to setup.There are too many variables - turntable, tonearm, cartridge, phonostage, step up transformers.It has noise, more distortions and other imperfections.But it give you a real filing of tone and dynamics of musical instr... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl I have Chord Qutest DAC. It sounds great.But it can't match vinyl in term of tone, live dynamics, and general musicality. But I understand why many people don't hear advantages of analog sound. The problems are: transistor amplifiers and dull, low... | |
| Audio Show.... I agreed with @roberttcan ,My experience on Montreal Audio Fest was similar to yours in Toronto. A big part of exhibitors or don’t care or simply don’t have any idea about how good audio should sound themselves.But if you go to audio store there i... | |
| Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Why do you use 2009 version for reference?All these late remastering made from digital using digital equipment.I compare some new remasters to 1984 British "Blue Box"."Blue Box" sounds 1000 times better.I heard latest audiophile remasterings of L... | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG I don't have experience with multistrand Neotech wire. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations I think that " fairly narrow radiation pattern over much of the spectrum" is a good thing.Actually, if speakers have a narrow radiation pattern you listen what is actually recorded.If speakers have a wide radiation pattern you hear more acoustic... | |
| Hook-up Wire: Duelund DCA16GA vs Neotech STDCT-16 vs Cardas 15.5 AWG Neotech Wire 22awg LEGENBURG Rectangular is not bad wire at all! It has very lush, musical sound with very good midrange. I just say, Duelunc Cu-Sn is much better. | |
| Flea Watt Amp: What Speakers Are. You Using With Yours? Recommendations IMHO High sensitivity speakers are win-win!Less compression, liver sound, better textura, work good with SET and SIT and other high quality low power amplifiers.The only two drawbacks are difficulty to get deep bass and bigger size.Low sensitive s... | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters The resonances of driver cone/dome itself can produce coloration.You can't correct it with crossover. |
