| Lyngdorf 2170 + 2400 Bi-wired As Lyngdorf 2170 owner I recommend this.Use speaker output of 2170 for high frequency.2170 has high pass function to adjust crossover point if you go through the manual.You do not need to get 2400 but I recommend Crown XLS 2502 which can be fed th... | |
| Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ? Freya+ sound decent with stock JJ tubes.It does not sound etched before break but slightly veiled compared with Nos tubes.You can get nice Nos 6sn7 tubes made in 1950's at 50% for pair.I like the remote of Freya+ with click noise while some people... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes Since I use pair of 6sn7 in LM508 and quad 6sn7 in Freya, i consider ordering more 1578 tubes.Just out of curiosity, i also had ordered cheap 6n8s tubes for comparison.https://www.ebay.com/itm/QUAD-FOUR-Matched-Balanced-Russian-6N8S-6SN7-double-... | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes If I had 1578 in the shootout 3 weeks ago, then i would not have bought more Kenrad vt231( Now I have three pairs they are pretty good for the money).But I could not get 1578 at the time. I heard that there are difference between 1578 made in 1970... | |

| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I received Melz 1578 tube 2 hours ago.It blew my mind with nice decay and body, deep bass, wide and deep soundstage.I had not been blown by TS bgrp just impressed with its transparency.To me this one is one tier better than TS bgrp.I am listening ... | |
| Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ? I heartily recommend Freaya +. it is much better than its price and also lot of room for tube rolling.The only problem is it is back ordered to June 17th.But if you order now, they will ship on the date.Thomas | |

| Line Magnetic 518 + Piano, special? I had not done direct comparison of Lm 508 and 518.But I am happy with LM 508 with 48 watts twice of LM 518.It is also a dream amp for tube rolling using pair of 805, 300B, 6sn7 and single 6sl7. | |
| In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment This one appears to be luxury version of Lyngdorf 3400. Both are made in Denmark but not by same company.They may share some technology.Someone will spend money without caring about pandemic.Actually some people make more money due to pandemic. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes i bought 1578 tube on the condition that I can return it if it give too much noise.Also I do not need to pay tax here unlike Ebay.I expect to get it coming this Friday. | |
| Missing tube integrated for Klipsch Forte III? Considering the big listening space of OP, I also recommend adding subwooffer.If he want to use tube amp, then I recommend used Rogue Cronus Magnum II with kt120 tube which has lot of power and good extension to the top.Thomas | |
