| Ways to clean up the wall power for SET amp? I would suggest starting with a dedicated circuit on your fuse / circuit breaker box.Secondly, in speaking with an amp manufacturer he said that most amps aren't designed to have a transformer placed before it in the form of a line conditioner so ... | |
| 300b vs 845 Brm1, I would suggest that you contact a manufacturer that makes both 300B and 845 SET amp models and get his/her opinion on where the differences lay. One such person would be Joe Fratus in the USA and owner of Art Audio who makes several 845 mod... | |

Italy71,It occured to me that the link to the second and third SET articles at 6moons that I made reference to isn't within the first article so here they are:http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/set/set_2.htmlhttp://www.6moons.com/industryfeatu... | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... Italy71,I was in your shoes just very recently before deciding on a SET amp for my system. What I found helpful was the following 3-part article by 6moons:http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/set/set.htmlThe article lists lots of SET amp manufac... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Well, the PX25 arrived today . . .In a nut shell, it was worth the wait. Joe at Art Audio has been excellent to deal with - very customer focused and a man of his word.In short, here are my initial thoughts based only on one night of listening (th... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Hi all,After discussions with key Audiogon members above, and a few others, in addition to Joe at Art Audio and Gordon at Wavelength, I've made the decision to purchase an Art Audio PX25 amp! I expect that it may be shipped out late this week and ... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? After speaking with Gordon at Wavelength today it seems like its now down to his Cardinal amp (US$7.5K) vs Art Audio PX25 (US$6.5K) which is a 300B vs PX25 choice. Gordon's Saturn PX25 amp is good for 8-16 ohm speakers and mine are a nominal 6 ohm... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Boa2 - thanks again for sharing your experience. Certainly a case of buyer beware . . .Gliderguider - I wasn't aware of your extended waiting period (memories of the Blowtorch preamp, eed gad) followed by the dissapointing realization that it now ... | |
| Daisy chaining Line Conditioners I spoke with Joe the owner of Art Audio today about his amps and if plugging them into my Equi-Tech would be fine and he had something interesting to say besides 'yes, it'd be fine.' He said that the reason amps often don't sound any better and so... | |
| PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength??? Thanks all for your comments. I know of one Audiogon member that had terrible luck with an Audion product and worse luck trying to get the distributor and manufacturer to resolve it (but I guess every company has one skeletan in the closet) so I'm... | |
| FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they? Audiojoy4,I too own the FAB Audio Model 1 speakers like Gliderguider above and share his sentiments about its characteristics. I first heard them at the Montreal audio show back in early April 2005 and they and one other room (WLM speakers + Audio... | |
| Daisy chaining Line Conditioners Tbg - thanks for your insights into combining different technologies. Besides not liking the Equi=Tech plugged into the Sound Application, may I ask what you liked or didn't likeabout the Equi=Tech plugged directly into the wall? | |
| Daisy chaining Line Conditioners Sundance45, you have lots of line conditioning gear - do you daisy chain them?My theory is that filter-types lend themselves to daisy chaining benefits whereas power regeneration units (e.g. Equi=Tech, PS Audio) may not benefit from adding filter-... | |
| Best Speakers at Montreal Show this past weekend? Thanks Mike for the correct FAB Audio link to their website and also the correction about their source component. All corrections aside, the FAB room still sounded . . . er, fabulous. |
