Description

I am an audio enthusiast and put this system together last year

I really like the sound of the tube amp with my pendragon.

Please let me know what you think of my modest system and if you have any recommendation to improve my system. I mainly listen to jazz and classical music.

You have an amazing system yourself. I am sure the coincident combo sound fantastic. How do you like the sound of 300b?Dan

Charles1dad,
Thanks for your comment. I absolutely love the combination of vinyl and tubes. There is something special and magical about the warm velvety texture sound produced by this combo. Some may think tubes colour the sound too much but to my ear it sounds very neutral. Also the fact that the Pendragon are very dynamic speakers it definetly complement the laid back sound of the tube amp. Dan

Thank you for your comment.
I really like the tube sound with high efficiency speakers specialy when i listen to vinyl. You are absolutely right when you mentioned that the bass is not very deep and this is the reason i moved from small high efficiency speakers to the Tekton Pendragon. I am getting a very satisfying deep and quality bass with the Pendragon that i am not even interested to try a solid sate amp because it will be an overkill. But i was thinking to try the Red Dragon Monoblock pretty soon and i will post an update.
