SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Brett,I suspect you'd really like Delfeayo Marsalis, "Minions Dominion" features his brother Bradford as well as Elvin Jones and Mulgrew Miller. First rate playing by top tier jazz men. Cha... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).You're observant Brett, Miles and Shirley were dear friends for many years. I don't blame Miles, you can't help but notice the presence of an attractive woman. Charles, posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Firat,I looked at your system and realized you also have Coincident speakers, so of course no ground post. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Hi Firat,Good to hear from you. I don't utilize the Ocellia ground wire on their speaker cable as there's no place to connect them to my speakers. Ocellia's speakers and Tannoy for example prov... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Tannoy - Manley 300B - Manley EL34Musicophile,What you wrote is perfectly logical and borne out with practical experience. My SET amplifier is a zero feedback design and I absolutely love it with my speakers. However th... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

Tannoy - Manley 300B - Manley EL34Musicophile,It's interesting to read that you, Dan and reviewer Jeff Day (PFO) report such sucess with a 300b SET driving the Tannoy speakers. All three of you used good push pull amps(Manley, ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Strapper211s all out effort at NirvanaDev,You beat me to that question. Such a discrepancy in output power between the two amplifiers , any tradeoffs driving your speakers as a result? The Lamm seems to be a fabulous design.Cha... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Agear, I've given it some casual thought but I'm so pleased with everything I just haven't followed through on doing so. I'll eventually get to it. The Troy is marvelously natural. Charles posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
System 954Hi Exlibris,I hope you are able to hear Mayer's preamps, I've read about his DHT 10y linestage and I'd bet it sounds stunning. That would certainly be a very interesting comparison to the AN M6... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
System 954Hi Exlibris,I have to tell you that I am really impressed by your amplifier's builder Thomas Mayer. I've been reading his blog (Vinyl Savor) recently and find his projects and perspectives very... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Brf,Your take on the Duelund CAST is insightful. I immediately heard their beneficial effects upon placement in my speakers. However the sound just kept steadily improving for week after week. ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Brf,Thanks, I knew the EML XLS 320 isn't a drop in replacement as the 300b XLS is. I believe the Alexis Vaic "VV" tubes were his earlier line and was followed by the AVVT tubes.Brf what's y... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Brett,I don't know if they're the same tube or not. Vaic did make several 300b variants, the 32b is a large tube with thick glass and is a drop in replacement electrically speaking. posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Flat Broke and Busted - Part Deux (System Retired)Hi 1markr,You have assembled a very nice system and it must sound completely delightful. You'll enjoy this for many years I'm sure.Charles, posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).I'd like to recommend to anyone who uses a 300b amplifier to seriously consider the AVVT 32B SL tube if you happen to come across a pair(out of production). It's a direct replacement and is sonical... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Hi Jeff,That's plausible, however the fact that the sound improved 'significantly' (in one week) would suggest either direction yields good sound, IOW the sound didn't remain bright. On the oth... posted over 12 years ago | View comment |
