SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Thanks, Charles.Yes, I had to search out your system to post my question. So, they made this quite inconvenient IMO.I am a great fan of Tron, so that hasn't changed. The price of th... posted over 8 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemHi Dev,My speakers are dead silent. More so, than any other speaker I've owned. However, I do have mild transformer hum, but this has no effect on the speakers or sound. The hum will be rem... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemCharles,I am really enjoying the system. And, I hope I did not play down the bass, because it is generous and authentic. Last night, I was amazed just how amazing Stevie Ray Vaughan's Tin Pan A... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemThanks, Arthur. I had made the Mac Tuner such a long-term project, that I forgot about my Sansui. I'm the original owner of the tuner, but that old system that included an AU-717 Amp that powered m... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Audio DestinationArthur, yes let us know how the Sansui sounds if you upgrade it. Especially, in your system would be very revealing.And, the plus that it may be the best looking tuner I've encountered. Now... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Audio DestinationWow, it's been a long time for the TU-717, but it's going to be added shortly. Sounds like fun.Kenny posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Audio DestinationAn absolutely beautiful system, so congratulations. The Jazz must be to die for. I just jumped in, so have not read your 7 pages of posts, but I do have to ask. How does your Sansui Tuner hold up?<... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemI've have resolved my noise problem that was two-fold, sogrounding issue, and a bad D3A tube. I have never had a pair of speakers that were this dead silent, so void of that electrical breezy s... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemDev,Big is good. So, a large expansive soundstage. I'll try a shot at the performance height question you asked, but this is just what I think. The height of the performance is not fixed by the... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemDev,The sound is big for my smallish room. But, after my Sophias break-in, I will do a short post about them compared to the Electro Harmonix regarding the soundstage. There seems to be interes... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemDev,Charles is right, this heat thing is not just about my 300 B. The transformers don't get hot, but the tubes do give off some heat, so you would notice that. The 845s that I've been around a... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemDev,I did crank up the volume, and the answer to your question is that it simply gets louder, so no lose or distortion that I can hear. I can't maintain that too long, or my old ears will b... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

Kenny's SystemThanks, DanSpeaking of 300 B tubes, I now have to break in the Sophias. It's going to be tough, because the loaner Electro Harmonix tubes are well broken in and sound better. I have snuck them ... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemDan,Cool, yet another recommendation for the EMLs. I will remember to strongly consider these tubes the next go-around. posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemThanks Charles, that is important to me about the durability. I'm using military 5U4G rectifiers, and the D3A is supposed to last forever. Well, 10,000 hours I'm told. posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
