Still, I would like in this thread to stay with subject of advantage/disadvantage of DSET approach vs. better/expensive SET: "A DSET is better then an expensive SET" instead of turn it into thread about David Berning. Bernings certainly might be...

I'm interested in bi-amping so you have my interest - if you say a SET has a 'topological limitation' what is the ridiculously simple change needed to make it good for LF operation ?I was previously thinking about using triodes in PP, like Sakuma-san...

Robin, this is The Dream, is it not? How Nice, and If Only. I remember when Romy was deciding on a phono cartridge, and I was getting very strongly that he did not really want a "hard tracing" cartridge, because he really did not want to have to re-s...

I admit that regarding many subjects in audio I love to sound, to act or just to be a compulsive. However, I feel that my compulsiveness does make sense to me and ironically it does make sense, quite frequency, for some others (unless they are Morons...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]What surprises me however is why you have expressed an interest in the high power tubes? You are with horns and even you LF sections have over 100dB sensitivity. What will you do with 120W SET?[/quote]The subwoofer still ne...

An interesting amp, thanks, decoud. http://www.sacthailand.com/AmpGlowMasterGM70.htmlI never have seen or hear it but it might be interesting. Chinese makes nowadays a lot of pretentious high-end products and they are mostly horrible crap. Here is Th...

I was listening toady Rossini’s “Sonata per Archi” and suddenly a strange feeling stroke me: I become suddenly queries about “more power”. It was not that something directly encouraged me in the Sound that I am getting in here. I never heard th...

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...

Add me to the list of people who think Gould's '55 Golberg sets the bar. I recently compared the '55 and '81, and now I appreciate the '55 more than ever. Sure, it's fast, but it's certainly not like it gets away from hm or anything.OTOH, I found/f...

I did not have a lot of time to ply with my new DEQ options. From what I have seen it turned out to much worst then I remember it. This think make soul-dead sound and I do not think that it shell be used for any purpose. I still have some thoug...

The weak bass of low-power SET amps is well known. I don't think anyone would disagree.Some reasons:Simple low power, especially with 93db speakers (try with 106db like Yorkville LS1208 horn subwoofer it might be different).SE output transformers hav...

Did you score the full 200 CD collection:

It is difficult to generalize but I will. As much as ribbons with each hertz down sound more and more unpleasant the low power SET amps with each hertz down in bass region more and more and more loosing ground. Ok, I am not taking about the real bass...

You may remember my first impression of ML2 was its "organizing". And you may also remember my saying that SET just "allows" the signal, including its dissipation.Not to "sell" Milquiades, but how (other than multi-channel and bandwidth limitin...

hi,just because it annoys me, i picked up a new celibidache 12-cd set of bruckner recordings on amazon.fr for 25€ delivered (in france), instead of 449$ on amazon.com for the 8-cd set? maybe I am missing something! if anyone wants the set and amazon...

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...

Romy, I often work with materials like this, for specialized restoration and reinforcement projects, and I have used it for my own speakers, as well. You mention ~ 1/2" thickness, and indeed thickness is an important consideration in selecting most o...

Looking again at the NAT Audio Magna amp, the amps around the 833A, GU81, 50TH, 1000TH, GM100 and many other SETs that try to use powers transmuting tubes I feel that the entire endeavor of powerful SETs shoot itself in a leg.
If a person has too de...

the my original back chamber from the manufacturer is a good "starting

chamber volume are very important and audible, in other words th...

IF you can "hear" SS amps, Romy, then your system must not be well set up, and be sensitive to the frequency shifts caused by tube amps. SS amps have NO sound that humans can hear. I use EQ'd high eff multi driver horn system, and I can tel...

I have the Zu Druid's which Romy has referred to. I purchased the speaker's based on the presumption that their high sensitivity and impedance would be perfect to run SET amps. After having read the great success Arthur Salvatore had running the Fra...
