Listening tonight and the music is so rich and inviting. I really like the sound of the L4 with the Jensen copper caps. Seems to be that perfect balance of resolution and musicality. Detail and body. Extended highs with rich mids and great mid bass.
My entire system is now tubes. My TRL Dude tubed preamp, the tubed Lampy, Thor TPA 30 monoblock tube amps w/many wonderful mods. I have a tubed CD transport/player on the way also. The more tubes the better! No kidding. Just magical.
Seems the Lampy takes a long time to finally settle in and complete the burn in process. |
Hi Bill,
That system must sound so natural and heavenly. I thought you were driving your Coincidents with a First Watt amp?

Yes, that M2 is a great amp. I have always had a soft spot or Thor amps as they are very special. I owned a set about 12 years ago and loved them.
World class sound that is more SET like than the M2, but also 30 watts of dynamic punch. I will soon post my virtual system as I have a couple of final touches left including silver speaker cables and a killer CDP/transport.
My speakers need more than 8 tube watts in my larger room and the Thor's are a gem. |

He builds his own speakers like the one we heard with the Lampizator which goes flat to 14 Hz, capable of 115 dB @16 Hz, true measurement. The speakers drivers have their own amps, outboard crossovers, etc. Wires are by Kimber and K-Works I think I get the picture - thanks for your response. I have no doubt that a system such as that can outperform one that is less synergistic but assembled with higher priced components. Regards, |
Wired with CAT7 cable. Wired is the way to go. Several months ago I replaced my generic ethernet cable with AQ CAT7 and it was HUGE improvement in every parameter. If you plan to keep PWD for a second system, it's worth a try. I also find replacing the 2 fuses with HiFi-Tuning Supreme (direction back to front) was another improvement. |
