I do not think that it is a mater of the output tube. Yes, the 300B is crappy tube but it is too easy to blame the under-performing tube. I would say that in the situation that Scott is experiencing the problem is not with his amplifier but in the id...

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, interesting. The problem might be in ADC, I/O cared, Recorder or DAC. When you do the experiment do you record the file? If so then you might plug ADC directly into DAC. Might your problem be with cloaking? I do know wh...

I mean who recorded ALL of them at the SAME level of performing quality? A used set that I fished recently suggest that I might found a noble contestant.
It is box set of 3 CD (DG 435 744 -2) that has all 5 concertos performed by Wilhel...

So freaking true!Add to these the self-neutralizing Fear of Bad Recordings and you about have it covered, I think.Needless to say, I am convinced that catagories beyond #4 are just rumors of the order of El Dorado.Paul S...

[quote user="skushino"]So next week I will broaden my playback experience by adding my new 90wpc PP mastadon, and Romy's approved Lamm ML-2, in addition to my current DRD-300B amps. And as a personal favor to the readers at ...

Jessie,
A few hints. If you are moving from Parsifal/Encore and LammM1.1 world into the world of SETs and Horn then do not be in hurry to commit yourself and do not create to yourself artificial addictions.
When I talk about artificial addictions I...

Romy,
Thanks for the hints.
I was anticipating the limitations imposed by of a pair of SET amps such as the ML2s driving such a system (4 or 5 drivers per side, down to 40Hz), but was planning to accept those limitations for the moment... takin...

Hi,I keep for many years a set of speakers, JBL 2225h, JBL 2105h and JBL 2403h and I'd like to build a reflex compact speaker with a good low response (see the picture 1:10).

For those who are interested in the Golden Era of Analog (the background, the Recording, general information ..), there is a Box available with 51 CD's for about $180,--. Heard it is limited.It is Digital, but collecting all those titles in vinyl is ...

I saw this newly released boxset by Sony of all the recordings made by Gould over a period spanning about a quarter of a century and my first reaction was that Sony was unashamedly milking the proverbial cow...It does however look like the remasterin...

The rumors are that Warner has bought licenses of all Svetlanov's recordings and they are reissuing them now. So far the Myaskovsky set is available only in Europe

It seems like most audio "auditioning" is of the hopeful sort, where we can in the best cases "hear something" that attracts us, and we can perhaps use experience to try to "intuit" whether we might be able to "extract" and use the particular compone...

Ok, how to start. First of all we have to understand that out subject of attention will be a region between approximately 80Hz and 500Hz or something that shape the fundamentals of the “melody range” within your playback. Search my site I have writte...

I can see objections to using paralleled tubes to achieve higher power where the channel has a single driver, but surely where you have multiple drivers differences between the drivers themselves would render any disadvantage of using (say) one tube ...

Perhaps Romy has found a new kind of distortion that wonderfully cancels out some other distortion that has made its appearance under cover of the great electricity day. Of course when the great electricity day becomes the astonishing electricity day...

Hello,
I've never had an SET amplifier in my system. Having high efficiency horns (106 db on average down to 100Hz ) I have tried a number of solid state and tube amplifiers, and I am aware of their sound in my system. ...

Considering all "cautions" mentioned by Paul and rawuk regarding SET capriciousness to crossover and speakers I am confident that I will NOT have any problems related to the above cautions of crossovers or speaker loads.
I use an active...

[quote user="noviygera"] This is an interesting
concept but What does it mean to "load" and "idle" SET and
how is this accomplished without changing the speaker it's driving? [/quote]
The "loading" and "idling" in SET is

[quote user="rowuk"]I have experimented
with SS/SET and now DSEP for ceramic magnet horn drivers. I will agree that
ceramic drivers with SETs that I have heard being suboptimal, but after a year
of DSEP, at least for my use case, I am quite conten...

Well, as I understand there is no truly GM70 vs. 6C33C context yet (sound in the respectfully equitable load) from you and it will be very interesting to hear from you when you feel that you are ready to say something. As I understand they are the sa...

For whatever stupid reasons the DSETs (Dedicated Single Ended Amplifier) are not as popular among audio people as they SHOULD be and this imperfection I am trying to attack.
So, if you use SET for whoever propose then it fine but if you e...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not really believe in the ultimate ability of SET amplifiers to drive loudspeakers, at least any loudspeakers. [/quote]Well - I've heard a couple of such amplifiers, made by Mr.Juri Makarov. They did have more o...

Here is an interesting article by Dmitry Nizhegorodov about his experiences to use 6C33C. (I do not know who Dmitry is) I disagree with Dmitry’s amplifier. Also, I very much disagree with his vision that an amplifier is juts a machinery where voltage...
