The Takatsuki 274b is a real bad sounding rectifier. VERY expensive and not worth the price at all
PS: If anyone wants to get rid of that POS Taka recti, please contact me

My question for galvonic was not on the digital side but the analog
Empirical audio makes one as well it is galvanic I'll bet his is.
In doing so a few good things happen
As we isolate we increase dynamics both micro and macro
Also speed
Next or maintains a perfect imp match as a LAMPI dac is a OTL as such it' varies with load and sound level output
Any passive or active fixies this
Lastly it can help in vol matching if an active preamp after is used.

I have a MBL Preamp as well. However - for me the Emia is more transparent and revealing. Also very natural and musical. I’ve also tried a Thomas Mayer line stage in my system and it did sound very nice, but a little more coloured than the Emia.
For kedar and others who think like him And don't take this the wrong way
The tak recti is the close cousin of the original we 274b. As I have both it's close and far better then ps vane and other new clone versions
The nos Version is considered the holy grail of recti tubes as is there 300 b set tube
Owning all it's very apparent they are worthy of this given title.
In a direct compare of nos and new the tak only has a bit more Low end weight.
This leads to a bit more air.
Now why some may feel it's boring is beyond my comprehension over all. But as this is audio and we all do have our own perception it's given this can be true.
So I now have one question for all nay sayers
Please explain how it and other faves compare
And this is an honest ask.
Thanks in advance

I'll be comparing it against the RK 5U4G and the USAF 569. I'll look to keep the two rectifiers that sound the best across my musical tastes in my system. I'm not much of a collector of expensive audio, so I'll probably look to offload the rectifier that places third, in my system, of course.

You are now commenting on the NOS. The reason the TAK is boring is because what it does to its mids is a color, and that color keeps repeating across tracks and sounds very artificial

Correction. I found it boring in 3 systems, to my ears.. and both the recti and the 300b had the color of trying to artificially make the mids rich and plump. I did not say it wasn't rich compared to the KR
Boring is a very powerful word to use on Someone's exp high system
Did you tell the 3 poor inviters it was boring lol.
Maybe both of you need a vibrating seat cushion with the shock option to sit on to excite you guys to get through it.
This is soo absurdly over the top in views
Hahaha

For anyone who might be influenced by the above proclamation that the Tak 274 and 300b are "boring" with artificially blooming mids on the Pacific, I would just say take a listen if you can, as this couldn't be further from the truth in my case.
And, obviously, also room, system, ear/brain dependent...
