One sees this question often posed, and I think rightly so. I've been introduced to some fine music and performance by my friends and associates. In fact, they're better than reviewers!
So I was dismayed when I started off a post with...

Hello Romy,
Your responce is valuable and I have some questions:
You say:
>>You load SET’s output a bit more and you have “richer” and “slower” sound and if you idle it more then you have “faster” and “punchier” sound...

I understand all disadvantages going digital.
I strongly believe that minimal influence to the signal is the most important aspect.
And influences in digital domain are usually terrible.
But I'm not sure what other options available....

[quote user="de charlus"]Romy, do you have first hand listening experience of these YL drivers? If so, in what sort of installation? [/quote]
Nope, I did hear neither YL drivers nor ALE driver, as least consciousnessly.

[quote user="Gregm"]It doesn't seem prudent to look at the speaker without considering the amplifier at all. We would be designing a speaker that would work with a theoretical amp -- but not one that's available.[/quote]

[quote user="drdna"] The altered topology of DSET has the potential to have disadvantages. There is increased overall system complexity and this often seems to be a negative. Beyond this, it is difficult to expound, for me, on the specifi...

[quote user="floobydust"]As Romy pointed out, having high gain is not the same as power. If you're only barely cracking the volume control on your amplifier or preamplifier then it should be obvious that you have more gain than you need. If you're p...

Myth, perhaps but let look what might actually the myth migh be. There is nothing “on a paper” that presumes a good sound. 109dB sensitivity is not automatically means anything and a 300B SET is not a definition of some kind of abstractive quality. I...

Well, what is interesting in the subject: if the Cessaro guy will ever go for the DSET configuration in his commercial products? I am not certain but it is possible that in DSET configuration it might be possible to overcome the accused shortcomings ...

Paul,
I do not have any reasons to say anything about bias regarding any other tubes beside the 6C33C.
The point that I was trying to make the most of the people out there do not have a proper load for this CE amplifiers. They feel that when thier...

Romy,
No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole system. When Cyrille dropped by, I was showing him the Field Coil open baffle speaker system which con...

I do not know why people go into low-sensitive loudspeaker and they go crazy in order push the last drop out of the class A2 operation. From a different perspective the Macondo’s woofer towers with 97.5dB sensitivity are low low-sensitive loudspeaker...

Thanks, Brad, interesting feedback about the Cessaro.
It hard to look at bass within the show’s hotel rooms but since Cessaro use “closed bottom” topology for their LF solution it always, at lest in my mind, will be a room for improvement in Cessaro...

Do not even try your tube amps with SL600!
The SL600 is very low sensitivity and if you drive it with more or less powerful SET amp then you will ruin SL600. I have destroyed 6 (six) of SL600. A 5 minutes of driving SL600 with 8W-10W SET as r...
