| Upgrade Speaker Cables or Interconnects Power cable for digital, then I/Cs. Am not a fan of conditioners but I have excellent power and live in a rural area. | |
| JBL 250ti's or something new.... druunderwood,I suggest you read between the lines on this review. Pretty obvious this reviewer did not like these speakers. Vintage speakers dont compare to newer offerings IMO. | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 I should add that for a much lower cost you could try Amperex 6DJ8s. Not as long lived but similar in terms of sound. Could call Keith to see what he thinks about 6DJ8s. | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Call Keith to find out which tube pairs are the most critical and then roll these. My favorite have always been the Amperex U.S. or Dutch made 6922s. | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers You should pay attention to what atma-sphere has posted. Several friends and I conducted an experiment in which we compared a pair of parallel 300B SETs (18 watts/channel) to a VAC push-pull Phi 200, a Mastersound 32B amplifier and a pair of Atma-... | |

| Audio Note Kit 1 So the "sloth" comment was made specifically about the Audio Note or is this comment directed at all the 300B SET amps you have heard? Serious question with no malice! | |
| The order of getting more/better bass My first tip for beginning enthusiasts would be to totally ignore your original post! | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 I dont care what quality of parts you put in this crossover it is an abomination in terms of complexity and total number of parts. Seems to be a very complex way to approach whatever problem Mr Thiel was attempting to solve. When I look at a cross... | |
| Should I buy used Thiel CS5 If you like the Thiel house sound perhaps but you need to familiarize yourself with this sound before buying. One look at the crossover on this speaker could scare the hell out of any prospective buyer. The tweeter on these older Thiels some find ... | |
| A used pair can be had for $80.00 I remember these as well. Not very good even by "back in the day" standards. | |
| What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail? Well I have never heard good digital sound like good analog regardless of the transport used, but mofi makes a good point. To me the CEC was the equal in all PRAT related areas, but presented these aspects in a significantly a more organic fashion... | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET I would tend to agree that for a more linear presentation, the 6C33 has serious advantages. The best solution if power is a concern, is to move towards a ultralinear or push-pull KT-88 6550 amp. You do sacrifice some midrange intimacy but most els... | |
| What CD Transports Provide the Most Detail? CEC is the best I have heard | |
| Help in minimizing hiss Let us know how the tubes help, but my fear is that these old stock GEs will increase the noise and you may find new noises which didnt exist before. Hope I am wrong. |
