Can someone help me decide whether TU-8900 would be able to power B&W 705 S2? I'm very thrilled to try out this kit, but not sure if 8WPC would be enough. I'm powering them with Naim Atom at the moment and they sound a bit harsh to me.

i can chat with you

I already have an Elekit 300B TU-8600S and enjoy it very much. I've written it up with measurments, etc.

2A3: I'm sold, where do I get one?

What was your opinion of the Lundahl vs stock?

 

[vkung]

I will not offer stock version after I have LUNDAHL in stock
I think I answer your question

 

[Audio Zen]

Never heard 2a3 tube, how does it compare to 300B?

 

[vkung]

standard answer
2A3 is a bit trickier to use but if your speakers are high efficient then the 2A3 will sound a lot better than the 300b.. only 2~3W ...

 

[Audio Zen]

I do have high efficient speakers so only 1-2 watts is needed. So from what I read on the web so far there is more midrange with the 2A3 but less top end and less low end - is this true ? I know that it all depends a lot on amp and persons system too.

 

[vkung]

i will say... taste...

The elekit website says there is an option to switch to no feedback. Victor, have you tried that. How accessible is that plug.

Hey Viktor,
any sonic impressions available yet compared to 8600 when using 300B? Thanks.

 

[vkung]

yesterday, I invited some Audiophile to listen the amp with me.. There impression is good..
TU-8900 is not a HIFI amp...

 

[SonnyMarrow]

Not a hifi amp? Is that bad?

To me HIFI is a four letter word So, yes, it’s a good statement.

 

[vkung]

HiFI amp is a one way communiaction system
Emotion amp is a two way communication system. It will touch your inner heart
HiFi amp will give you very hi and low sound.

all 300b and 2A3 will not offer you the sound same as hi fi amp but they offer you emotion music... that is 2 way communication music..

 

[vkung]

People ask me how low and how high the amp cap go. To be honest with you.. I do not care about this matter. What I care about is the fine detail of the music.. it can touch my inner heart..
