    In the past I wrote extensively about my audio system that is centered around the - still fantastic sounding - Tidal La Assoluta loudspeakers.

    211 valves: please share your experiences

    A while back I played with Audio Note/Kondo Gakuon amps. The Gakuon uses two 211 valves in parallel. At the time I only listened to the Gakuons with General Electric 211 tubes. Although I liked the Gakuons very much in the end I preferred the Kondo (300B) Gakuoh amps. Lately I returned to my...

    Tripoint emperor : a breakthrough

    People that have read the Tripoint Troy thread that I started quite a while ago know that I loved and still love the Tripoint Troy signature. I owned two, one for each of my two systems.
