| The 300B World I am using a Raytheon Ceramic base 274b in my amp. I also have some Ken Rad circa 1945 5r4gy that are great . | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I actually don't care whether those amps sell. They are fantastic and I'm sure I will add them to the list of things I've regretted selling. Down the road I will set up a second system and wish I still had them. I have a guy that seems ser... | |
| odd question about stand-mount speakers One of my favorite speakers , PSB M2 Platinum had that array, woofer on top , tweeter below. If I could find a mint pair in Cherry, I would buy them again One of my biggest regrets, selling those. | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? I use HiFi Shark as a guide, USAM also. I try to price fairly with a little room for negotiation. I have had numerous people inquire about my QS mono amps but I don't want to ship. Local sales take a little time but if priced right it will se... | |
| mcintosh mc275 mk6 tube rolling ? Good point about having a tester. I found out the hard way that some of my “best” tubes were average at best. Since having a tester I sorted through about a dozen NOS e180f Mullards. They were from a large batch and I have no doubt they w... | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer LAB 12 is way better than decent ..... have you heard one Audioman? It's a sleeper, | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer Yes Aurenders are not cheap , but I got a great deal on a N200 and have zero regrets. Super high build quality, great App, sounds great, excellent support. All that all up and it is a good value. | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer Hi Silverfox. The only direct comparison I have made in my system is LAb 12 vs RME. I did listen to the SimAudio DAC and Merason DAC 1 during demo and thought the LAB 12 was the most natural sounding. Merason was really good but I prefer... | |
| Tube tester? While true that most testers don't test at real world voltages it is important to leave the tube in the tester for 5 min or so. If you put it in and test it cold your results will be poor. Ultimately your ears are the final say. That fact th... | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer I love my LAB 12 DAC..... great sounding DAC. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2023/03/12/lab12-dac1-review/ I bought it thinking i would take advantage of my dealers one year trade up on something 2 X the cost. It sounds so good I am keep... | |
| Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp Check out Aric Audio. Made here in Mass , I am pretty sure he has something in his product line that would appeal to you | |
| Recommendations for a vacum tube tester Yes it is a great tool. I’m not home tonight but I will check my manuals and let you know if there is a specific set of values. I am guessing the switches would be set the same , but not sure what the target is for KT77 | |
| DAC Transformer Hum - Affect Audio? Bring it to work or to a friend’s and see if it does the same thing | |
| Decware and “The List” +1 voodoo. Very brave to face that diagnosis head on with such dignity. I wish you well Chip. Hopefully you find the exact amp you are looking for . | |
| Decware and “The List” My issue with Decware is this … don’t tell me it’s 18 months with 2100 people on the List when your monthly production is less than 60 units. Math doesn’t lie, that’s over a three year wait. The list is growing faster than they can build and tha... |
