300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas
@ghdprentice    Actually OSHA specifies a 4 hour limit for 95 db SPL. I would rather trust them than the lying CDC.    
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
If the bar for ethics is measured using the performance of journalists in todays mainstream media, then that indeed is pretty low. I certainly hope we would hold reviewers to a higher standard than that.  
how to fix a CD player
Ditch the seedee player. Rip your discs and stream them. Improved convenience and sound quality. Win, win….

@audioaholic1  I’m not saying it won’t work. But with speakers under 90 db efficiency, you will be limited on sheer volume and dynamics. If you have a small to medium sized room and listen at moderate levels, it could “work”. But ideal? No.

The volume control being at the same position means nothing really. It only means that the two amps have similar gain and input sensitivity. If you had increased the listening level, the shortcoming of the SET amp would have been easily noticed.  
Autoformer volume control in an active tube preamp?
I had a Flora in house a few years ago. I had great expectations because I really like TVCs. It was pretty good, but nothing special. I didn’t keep it long. These days I think the Khozmo attenuator beats a TVC, all other things being equal.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Do one thing and do it well! Like build speakers, for example? A better Tekton endorsement we haven't had, ladies and gentlemen.      
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
@ricevs  Is this just a speaker for personal use, or are you going to market to the public?

@dbb  This was my chief complaint of the Spatial Audio X3. Using a 12” driver to reproduce the crucial midrange seemed to be its shortcoming. The texture and “realness” of the human voice was not conveyed IMHO. It was an amazing speaker in many r...

Why spam the forum with this?  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
What is the efficiency of these speakers? I ask because my Spatial Audio X3s were supposedly 96 db and had a built in sub amp. At the time I had in house a Decware Torii II (around 20 wpc) and it could not drive the X3s sufficiently. On paper it w...

It is absolutely stupid that you can't post pictures directly from your device on this site. I know that doesn't help you, but I got to vent.  
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
@christianb5s4  I hear ya brother. Keep fighting the good fight out there in the land of fruits and nuts….  
Had anyone listened to Ken Fritz's system in person?
Taken it over, eh? As in, hostile takeover? Or you would have purchased all of it? You really need to clarify these things.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Hey, I get it, you don't like him. You are probably a good guy and I am not here to get in a pi**ing match with you. I have some strong opinions about covid and the way that whole fiasco was handled, but no, I don't think the democrats "invented"...
