Lak's Second System 2014Lak, one of my dac opportunities has dried up. I am still modding one I have here, but I miss the Yammi! If you ever want to sell......think of me first:) posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonNow you guys know that no single amp is ever the best. I actually like this Electra Fidelity better than the 845 and 300b thus far. Just more full bodied and meaty along with everything we all like... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, the amp is broken in. I wish I could hear your speakers on this amp. I may end with a set like yours. I purchased a set of Cain & Cain Abby speakers and love they way they sound with the amp. ... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJust simple JJ tubes and I will get better soon. Do you have any suggestions Salectric? Two El34 and one 12au7. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, I like the nude WE ICs best with this Electra Fidelity amp. I like it better than the Belden. I use one shielded set of WE ICs and one unshielded set. posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI have the new amp playing Jet. Initial impressions are very good. I'm not sure if he makes the PT, but I will ask. This 11 watt amp seems 25-30 more powerful than the 300b's. Dead quiet amp. I mea... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI meant to say tube rectification Jet. Sorry. I prefer SS rectification as does Jack. Bass is more articulate and controlled to my ears. My favorite tube amps in the past have been EL34 amps done r... posted almost 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI meant to type the new Electra Fidelity amp may well unseat them. The amp is not yet shown on his website. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI emailed Jack at Electraprint and he talked me out of upgrading the transformers. He is a very opinionated guy to be sure. I perhaps need more power and am trying one of his amps! While we don't a... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, please tell where you purchased your new transformers and which ones you ordered. I am shopping for great output trannies for my 300b monoblock SET amps. 3K Primany 4/8 secondary.Looki... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

Lak's Second System 2014Yes, I found the upgrades to be significantly better than stock unit. I have a DIY dac am working on right now that comes somewhat close to the Yamamoto, but really not as good.... yet. Also, I wil... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, I purchased another set of Belden ICs and again find myself shaking my head after burn in. I wish I would have found this stuff years ago. I would have saved a few thousand! However, I most li... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI found with my 10 watt SET amp one run was fine, but with my 100 watt Hybrid 2 runs were a must. A friend has 89db speakers and a 300 watt hybrid amp and two runs were much better. High wattage am... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonNeed two runs on the WE wire per pole for great bass and fullness. I found this is the key in many systems!I have not tried 3 or 4, but? posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Lak's Music Room 2014The Yamamoto dac really does respond well to an upgraded fuse. I use Synergistic Research Red . Nice improvement all around. The cap upgrade was a bigger improvement and something you can enjoy in ... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |

Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemStrange stuff this audio business. I use the WE16ga wire now because I found it full bodied and smooth. It bested cables both copper and silver cables I have that cost thousands. Very interesting c... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemI noticed your input on a WE16ga thread. Did you like the wire? I see you are not using it in your system as your speaker cable. Great stuff at $1.39 per foot! Silly good for this price really. posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Jazz Lover's Vinyl SystemDid you ever put the TC caps in the power supply of your amp? Love to hear your findings. Also curious what you thought of the Western Electric WE16ga NOS wire as speaker cable? I think you tried s... posted about 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonAgreed Jet. I am not sure I can even fit those TC caps in my amp......very little room. I replaced Mundorf SIO which are really good, but not great. posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonJet, I could not help myself and upgraded the input IC wire in my 845 amp from Mogami to Neotech NEI 1001 pure silver IC cable. I also put some Jupiter copper foil coupling caps between the 46 and ... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonThanks for the update. I will try some once they get the values I need. I need 200 - 220uf and I read they will be coming out with more values soon. posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Audio Note, WE-91A, Rega, AyonI agree with you and I found that to be true in my preamp. Thanks for posting how they have changed. I will wait until you feel they have totally settled in. posted over 10 years ago | View comment |
