Upgrading my SET amplifiers?

Hi Don:

Currently I have the crossover at 35, but, over the years, and with different material, I've moved the frequency from 28 to 35. Regards, Pablo.

I listen to vinyl and Cds, half and a half. The vinyl sounds better, but there are a lot of material that is not longer released on vinyl. I mostly listen to jazz (hard bop). My vinyl rig is Linn Sondek/Linn Ekos/Goldring Elite. My Cd player is an Electrocompaniet ECM 1 24/192. If I agree with you in principle about the importance of the source, the most dramatic change in the sonic signature of my system occurred when I bought the Lowthers. I still maintain a conventional speaker (Silverline Sonatas) driven by a Bottlehead Parabee 300b, and I used it with some material (rock, for instance). Regards, Pablo.

Hi Don:

I am glad you are enjoying the Magnepan. Answering your question, yes, I use a REL Stadium II and, to me ears, the integration is great.

Faugusta:

I have to try the Korneff, for sure. Right now I got a very good opportunity to buy a highly modified Golden Tube 300b SE at a very appealing price. The monoblocks are coming in a couple of weeks. I'll keep everybody posted on how they compare to my beloved Wrights. Pablo.

Howard:

Thank you for your answer. I know (because I’ve read some of your threads) that you are a Wright Sound fan. I enjoy the amps immensely as well. My policy is not to sell my previous gear before, in my listening room and after a couple of months of careful listening, it is obvious that the new stuff sounds much better than the old one. I completely agree with you about the tonal purity of the Wrights. To me, that is their most important virtue. I have tried some tubes, but not many. Currently I am using the Sophia Mesh Plates, Sylvanias 6SN7s from the late 1940s and RCAs for the 5Y3 position.
I live in Philadelphia right now. I used to live in different Buenos Aires’ suburbs (Acassuso, Florida, San Martin). Do you know Argentina?

Tumbler:

Thank you for the advice. I love the Lamhorn/Lowthers!. I won’t change them. And I have a REL Stadium II as a sub.

It seems that my thread has become a kind of “Wright Sound 3.5 fan club.” Best regards, Pablo.
