    How Good a CD Transport is Required to Sound Better than Streaming?

    Intriguing Comparisons and a Digital Dilemma As I was reading the beginning of this thread, my project on building a digital system resonated deeply with Ron's initial question. While I haven't delved into every conversation, the topic holds immense interest for me. My audiophile pursuits...

    Ongaku - Is it worth the money!!

    Well. PQ offered me Gaku-On, but considering my main speaker Tannoy Autograph with Silver Monitor 15", I preferred Shinguru 211SE. Gaku on would have been too powerful for the Tannoys also my idea was to use NOS valves. I have many United Electron 38111, WE-242A, 242C, Ampered brass base...

    Ongaku - Is it worth the money!!

    I read your posts and maybe my experience cal help you. I was and I´m 300B lover. During loooong time I have collected different WE-300B and currently, I have ANUK Kegon with WE-300A. But, when I experienced ANUK 211 SE amp, I understood that 211 valves are fair superior than 300B. Now I have...

    Anyone using Airtight ATM 211 to recommend?

    Finally sold my ATM-211, have changed by Audio Note UK Ongaku Shinguru. If some one love 211, please consider ANUK… I love Amperex 211D, but not possible to use with my Ongaku’ auto bias. I’m using with original WE-242C, incredible sound.

    What’s the world’s best 2 watt amplifier?

    This is shocking for me. In ALL amplifiers, I experienced improved performance changing rectifiers. During my life, I spend time and money to find WE-274B, Mullard GZ-34 metal base, GEC 5U4, good 5R4, etc...

    What’s the world’s best 2 watt amplifier?

    I read with big interest this thread. I have 2 high efficient speakers systems, first one is Tannoy Autograph with Silver Monitors and the second is Vitavox CN-191. I had the interest to use Vitatox with low-powered amplifiers. I have used Air Tight ATM-211, Nagra VPA, Allnic A-8000 (T-1610 SE...

    Anyone using Airtight ATM 211 to recommend?

    Have used ATM-211 for years with my Tannoy Autograph (Silver Monitors) and Vitavox CN-191 and recently sold it. I used ATM-211 with United Electron 211 but Amperex 211D brass base was the best possible valve for them. Also used a Philips brass base. In my experience, the best choice was: Amperex...

    Dears. I have one question. I never paid attention to AC filters because never had a good result. Only have used a Hydra for my digital gears (full dcs). Just this weekend I have tried a Transparent Opusisolator on my system. First tested Phono Amp D'Agstino Momentum with Opusisolator, the...

    Newest Amplifier Design by Kang Su Park - The Allnic M-2500 Monoblock

    Mr.Park designe A-8000 with 3 differents valves of 1st stage. Choosing differents valves you can adjust the output power to 12W or 25W or 50W x Ch.

    Dear Nascimiento. I read this thread with attention because recently I listed ATM-211 with NOS United valves and the experience was just fabulous. And now I can read that you prefer Audio Note kits instead of ATM-300?? Can you tell me more detail?? Tks.

    Pass XA25 or any XA.8 with Tannoy

    Is this the original GRF? Congratulation. My friend who has kindly lent me his XA-25 has one pair of original GFR cases with Gold 15". He made a new Xover -based on Tannoy original circuit diagram- using Duelund and Mundorf. The sound is simply amazing.
