| 300B or 2a3 SET Class A for Heretic Model A? Another 2a3 fan here it has a clarity and a speed that 300B doesn't have, to my ears at least. | |
| Actual listening experience with Devore and wolf Von langa I would think the 096 would fill a room that size just fine it's a pretty large speaker and can play quite loudly. And if you had the 093 you have a great idea of what that sound will be. Not sure where you're located but WvL has been pretty activ... | |
| Actual listening experience with Devore and wolf Von langa One thing I left out the Devore was driven by Shindo gear and WvL by Tron tubed gear that might also account for a bit of the difference that part is hard to say. | |
| Actual listening experience with Devore and wolf Von langa I've heard both speakers and like both very much all things being equal I'd go with the WvL because I just love the sound of field coil drivers. That said the 096 is no slouch and I could very happily live with it. I'd say going on memory it's a ... | |
| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? Looks like I am in the 4-600 kilowatt range, small condo but I listen a ton not sure how much hifi contributes to that total. | |
| Tube amps under $7500 +1 on Synthesis really excellent sounding gear, excellent industrial design and fair prices. | |
| Accuphase e-280 Review Not sure what the rules are for dealers these days but this reads an awful lot like an ad to me. Nice looking amp though. | |
| must you play music to break in tubes If your amps are on just play music and on the subject of crackling it can sometimes subside but not always. The crackling will not hurt your speakers in any way. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I agree with some of above power amps in my experience display the least changes with power cords. Again this is my experience yours may be different. Also a $500 power cord should be no slouch. Lastly to me power cord differences fall on the subt... | |
| I have a blue book question The ESL 57's should be worth a fair amount depending on condition. I see a few pairs for sale in the $3-4K range. You can always check www.hifishark.com for used prices on current and past sales. Obviously condition of the items is very important ... | |
| Preamp or not. I'd say in your setup likely overkill I'm guessing the phono stage on your Cronus is pretty solid. That said if you can get a Jolida from someplace with a return policy it might be worth checking out. | |
| Hum mystery to me This is not clear did you ever run table 2 into the phono pre and then into your preamp? And if so did you get hum? If not you need to try this. | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? I only stream and I only stream complete albums. | |
| Same Dance but New Step Nice outcome stringreen and another data point for me to avoid vinyl. 🤣 | |
| Tube vs Solid state for Preamp Definitely stay with tubes if a Krell 350 watt amp can't do low end it's on the amp not your preamp. Are there better tube preamps than the AI? Sure do you have a budget in mind? |
