I have been enjoying Takatsuki 300B’s in my SE Pacific DAC for well over a year and am curious to hear from others who use 300B’s in their Pacific. What are you using and why? These are the only 300B’s I have tried and they deliver a nice combination of lovely tone, body, transparency, dynamics...
I had a wonderful afternoon today! @Mike Lavigne was in my neck of the planet and was able to come by for a brief but thoroughly enjoyable hang. A warm, engaging, and enthusiastic lover of music and the gear that delivers it is he! @J.R. Boisclair, a friend from the neighborhood who has been...

I currently have a pair of Raidho D2.1's and am considering an amp upgrade. They are being driven by a Viola Labs Symphony stereo amp (200wpc) and a Shindo Vosne-Romanee pre. I was using the Viola Crescendo pre but find that the Shindo V-R
