Which cables and ics allow the biggest soundstage?
I'm running a 300 SET amp and cables required are typical 1m interconnects with 6 foot speaker cables.

Rodmann you seem to be very familiar with the Cary design and how it accomplishes what it does. Speaking of transformers I was told that after the first generation they used off shore trannies that were of lesser quality than the originals. Howeve... 
300b amps bettering the midrange of the Cary 300b
Also wondering if from those that responded if they have compared it to the Cary's.I find the Cary's to be one of those love/hate products that if one searches will find many despise them saying rolled off highs and poor bass and some say that the...

Suggestions appreciated and will look into them.

Also Mapletree audio. Never heard it but priced right. My Dehavilland Ultraverve is the best so far. I don't see too many Ultraverves come up for sale compared to others. 
Cary 300 SE vs Cary 300SEI
I guess it would also depend on which generation of 300 se monos one is talking about.There are four if you look at the Cary manual downloads (original 300se, Sig1,2,and 3).Each one seems to use a different driver configuration. I use to have the ... 
is the Montille a real Shindo?
I think I made it clear that it was something I read that others had written in the past (also was trying to remember to the best of my ability) and from that one should accept it as such. Do we have to have owned the equipment to write anything a... 
is the Montille a real Shindo?

dehavilland ultraverve preamp with ss amp
I have a hot-rodded Ultraverve and in my opinion the dynamics are unsurpassed (have yet to try a First Sound Presence but would not be surprised if it is in the same league).I find it great that one can change the sound up without spending much as... 
300b vs. NOS mullard el34- both amps in push pull
Right now I am using NOS Tesla black base (supposedly not as good as earlier brown base) and like the sound much better than the EH KT88 I can run in them. It does not have that upper midrange hardness, has enough air, treble and soundstage for me... 
300b vs. NOS mullard el34- both amps in push pull
100db efficiency in a large room that is usually playing very loud complex music. I will eventually also try out a lower powered amp but for now 20 - 50 watt amps is what I'm going with. I'm just wondering if the Mullard (xf2 not xf1 due to cost) ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Congrats. Eddie any comparisons to other preamps you have owned. Does anyone know if one can use two different pairs of tubes without problems or do you have to go with an identical quad.
