| New JJ KT77 I just put a pair of Genelex Golden Lion KT77's in my VAC Avatar integrated. It's been less that 20 hours but my initial impression is very positive. I agree with what Kiteflier said, better extension on both ends. They may have better clarity tha... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? I just read more of the thread and see you are not interested in tubes. Sorry, but you have a novel, if not, a long short story going on Agon at this point ;-)Get the Luxman, get the Verity's, report back. It's a big investment so on the other han... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? The m800a is a fine amp and would be real nice with the Verities. Have you thought about going the used tube route and getting something like an ARC ref 110 and ls26 pre? Close on $$$ and this is a very nice combination with the Parisfal. ARC is a... | |
| Amp for Totem Forest I had a pair of Forests when I was transitioning amplifiers, so I tried them with the MA6300, Cayin A88, and Plinius 8200.My favorite of the 3 was the McIntosh because it had more life with the Forest than the Plinius. The A88t was weak in the low... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Talked to a tube guy named Jim about it and he says they will be fine. I'm going to give them a try. Will post follow up. Thanks again for the support guys. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Seems like the GGL KT77 might be the tube of choice. Can the KT77 be used in an amp that runs in either ultralinear or triode, like the VAC Avatar or the Manley amps? I thought I saw somewhere that it is designed for ultralinear use. This confused... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Also, which has a deeper 3 dimensional soundstage, the Siemens or the Golden Lion?Thanks. | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Tommy, thanks for your description. I read your post and did some more reading on the KT77 and it sounds like a great tube.You mention the highs on the KT77 being between the SED and the Siemens. Does this mean the Siemens had more detailed highs?... | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Ajackson1, thanks, I am looking for something a little faster and cleaner than the SED for my current setup. Any comparison on the G. Lion vs the Siemens, or another tube recommendations? | |
| EL34 SED, Black Sable or Genelex Gold Lion? Anyone compared the Golden Lion to the Siemens EL34? Is the Siemens more detailed? Tried to post this 2 times already but the system seems weird. | |
| design criteria, W.A.F. etc Totem Forest is a great speaker in that range but are looking for a stand mount? I'm looking for clarification because you say monitor but then say less than 4ft. That would be a big a** stand mount. | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence Zu IMHO is like the $500 car with the 2k stereo system. Something doesn't balance out. I had the Essence for 6 months with 3 different good amps and it sounded like a sub 2k speaker in some regards but a 5k speaker in others. To my ears they are a... | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 No thoughts? I would call the VAC a winner if I had to guess but I hope to get more than my own idiotic however well informed interpretation. | |
| VAC Avatar Super and Mc 2275 Tpsonic, the current 803s series, not the 803d or the older N803. Nice speaker but 8 ohm min 3ohm. Sounded much better to me with ss.Anyway, I am hoping to learn more about the 2275 compared to the Super. | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? The Luxman L-590 is a beautiful sounding amp. Just beware that it runs hot, and is bigger than it looks in pictures. If those minor things don't matter, I think it would be a great match for the Rienzi. I agree with the above comments on Sim. I've... |
