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.
Dan, Thanks for the kind comment. I am really very pleased with the 300b tube. The premium quality versions can get rather expensive but they sound wonderful and these tubes last for many years.I`ve had my SET amplifier nearly 4 years and plan to keep it for many more. Charles,
Dan, I happen to share your viewpoint about the bass performance of tube amplifiers. First the bass quality will depend on the speakers in use and the particular tube amp driving them. 2nd point, I find the texture, pitch, tone and balance of SS amplifiers inferior and honesty less natural. What some refer to as "bass slam" is artificial and embellished, especially when listening to acoustic lower register instruments. So I definitely see where you're coming from. Some speaker designs do need to be matched with SS amplifiers and some are designed for optimal use with tube amplifiers, it all depends on the speaker builder's intention. Regards,
I like the make up of this system.Given your music preferences I imagine the sound is natural and keeps you emotionally involved.The tonality and timbre of acoustic instruments must sound very realistic. Regards,
