    Thank you, that's very interesting.

    SET amp owners thread

    Could you give me any thoughts on how the sound of the hybrids compares with a SET? How do you think the, probably unobtainable, Silbatone one compares with those from Silvercore?

    SET amp owners thread

    If I've read right they can do them with various valves. Have you read any of the J C Morrison blogs that outlined the design of these hybrids?

    SET amp owners thread

    Is this one of their hybrids or a 2A3 SET? Sorry posted before I saw the pictures above, clearly a SET. I would be interested in hearing one of their J C Morrison inspired hybrids.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Sounds like I need to arrange another demo of either the GG or Pacific though I'm not sure whether Greg has any available at the moment. Will find out shortly.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on how the GG2 compares with the TRP? When I first bought my original Atlantic I was able to compare that with the GG at home and couldn't decide between them so decided to save my pennies and concentrate on optimising regulators instead. However as...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    I wonder if anyone here has compared the different inputs on their TRP? Mine has one of the first JL Sounds USB cards in it and I have only ever used that input partly because my Fidelizer Nimitra only has USB output. Previously with my Atlantic (non TRP) fed by a Mac mini I used a USB to SPDIF...

    Abbas dac 2.1 se

    I would be very interested to hear the views of the owner of the Lampi Big 7 and how it compares with the Abbas 3.2se. I have a Lampi Golden Atlantic TRP but am thinking about upgrading/changing it and the Abbas 3.2se sounds like it could be an affordable alternative to the models further up the...

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Hi Phonatix, I'm sure you are right that the SR Purple is better than the Orange and that is likely where I will end up, however it will be interesting to try the Orange first and thanks to Highstream's generosity it won't be an expensive detour so all is good! David Whistance.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Many thanks, sadly I'm in the UK so postage, etc would be prohibitive, particularly at the moment with the pound doing so well against the dollar!

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Brilliant, thank you. I now need to dig out all my other rectifiers to see which, if any, have good synergy with the Philips EL50's.

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    As a PS I am also thinking of replacing the fuse with an SR Orange, can anyone tell me which one to go for as I have read they don't meet their supposed specifications so a higher current one is recommended?

    LampizatOr Golden Atlantic + TRP

    Probably a silly question, however can anyone tell me whether a GZ37 will work in the TRP? Having settled on the GEC KT66's with the Psvane ACME A274B several years ago I'm about to try some different output valves again - Philips EL50's in the first instance - so will be looking for a...

    Natural Sound

    The mk4 is supposed to be very good as well though I haven't heard one. The mk2 is a good cartridge as well but not at the same level. This series of cartridges were developed during a time when phono replay was improving rapidly and big corporations, like Technics, were investing serious...

    Natural Sound

    I loved the sound of my Technics EPC-205Mk3 though sadly the suspension is now starting to go, a relatively common problem with these cartridges. I'm hoping I can get it rebuilt but so far none of the usual suspects have been keen. I also agree with Shakti on the Shure V15's. I have a III which...
