    Joe,
    Do you get enough gain when you pair your SIT-3 with it?

    Al M., try a Triode Wire Labs Obsession pc or a Cerious Technologies Matrix pc these will enhance the tonal qualities and everything else.

    Re: Best DACs under $5K (2019 Version)

    I would say the Denafrips Terminator is a top contender in that price range.

    Re: Female Singers

    I’m surprised no one said Natalie Merchant. Her voice just does it for me.

    Re: Coincident Audio Feed backs ?

    I use Takatsuki TA-300b, EML 300b-XLS, and used Elrog’s but they didn’t last in the Franks.
    In the 5u4 position I like the Mullards CV378.

    Re: My Avantgarde Duo XD - simply incredible....

    That’s good because they are only making 250 units. Hopefully you get one! Nelson Pass said that they work best with 4 to 8 ohm speakers. I think your Duo are 18ohm. You might shoot Nelson a email to...

    Re: My Avantgarde Duo XD - simply incredible....

    Joe, see if you can get your hands on the new First Watt SIT-3 amp, if there are any left.
    Probably work better than your XA-25 on the AG.

    I use the Franks and SIT-3 on my Hornings and both are...

    Kingrex, the Trio15 downstairs had Mike Powell's (verastarr copper jumpers). I didn't really like the Tang Band driver very congested and bright. Once they switched to the Voxatic field coil driver...

    Congrats on your wonderful speakers, Joe. They look awesome! Get a nice SET amp and your set.
  18. Re: Suggestions on Best 45 or less watt SET type amps

    Randy did you hear a SIT-3? I had a FW J2 years ago which was much thinner sounding than the SIT-3.

  19. Re: Suggestions on Best 45 or less watt SET type amps

    Kingrex if you want an SET amp the trannies are important for good sound. I have Coincident Audio Frankenstein 300b monos which are very nice and in your price range. Surpisingly their bass is very...

    Re: Which 300B Tube?

    The Emission Labs Mesh plates are very nice but, you can't run them with amps running higher voltages then WE specs.
