Pindac 300B are addictive , my friend who own Aric amp love them too. I do have the viva 300B integrated.
Last night the Music took over….
I woke up this morning a little hungover, not from wine but from the lingering spell of last night’s listening session. Nicki Parrott’s voice was still in my head, smoky and rich, wrapped in the warmth of Black Coffee album on vinyl.
You may or may not be a fan of hers, and that’s okay because this post isn’t just about singing praises for her impeccable storytelling. It’s about those moments we all chase… the ones when your system disappears, and the music breathes with such life and intimacy, it feels like the artist is right there with you.
Last night, my system was at its absolute peak. Everything clicked. The performance was spellbinding, her tone so warm, her phrasing so present, it made me pause and ask myself:
Have I finally reached the point where I can stop tweaking… and just enjoy the music?
So I’m curious…have you had one of those nights where the gear disappears, and the music just becomes the room?
What was playing?
I’d love to hear about those moments that made you forget the tweaks, the specs, and the chase… and just feel!

Every one has different ears. It’s better to others. All "Jill’s Theme" YT videos are less than 1M views, except Steffi’s is 39M views. I think she and team did a great job. Please post a link for better "Jiils Theme". If you only heard MY VIDEO, watch the original Once Upon a Time in the West. Steffi Vertriest . Alex/Wavetouch audio |
When it comes to the 300b Amp', I have created 30 Years later in life a very keen interest is a design I have side lined in the Past. In the late 80's and into the 90's I was attending London Based Audio Shows and Audio Equipment Dealerships where I would suggest there were not many Models produced from a Commercial Aspect that I did not sit in front off for an Audition. At the time of my first Valve Power Amp commission build, I had the option of a 300b to be produced, but my experiences had not left anything that was to compel me to go down this route. My choices have always been for a PP Design using different Power Valve choices. Times do change, I was devout to the Trilogy that makes a Analogue Source throughout the 80's when digital Sources arrived and continued with a Analogue Source only until only a few years past. After a period with a Digital Source, the outcome is in today's System, the Digital and Analogue Source share Parity as a End Sound Producer, even the notion of having a Steamer as a Source is now on the Radar, but the Old Ways remain Strong. The disciplines developed for using Analogue still remains with a strong influence, where there is the need to give the Stylus the best interface within the Groove Possible and have at hand electronics with the sole purpose of processing the sent Signal created by the Stylus to be the very best I can comfortably afford to put in place. Now in the present, I am quite excited about the New Form of Sound being created as the most recent listening experiences, that are being produced through the use of a SET 300b and Speakers with a 96dB Woofer and 106dB Tweeter Designed to function as a Dual Concentric Assembly.
