You will notice a fuller sound, deeper bass, superior clarity, and dynamics you have never heard before. Out goes thin, bright sound when you have a good, solid, high-end amplifier that delivers high current and high power. It has nothing to do with loudness; it has to do with superior control and power reserve, like cruising at 80 miles on a highway with a V12 engine versus a 4-cylinder car. -
Just in case you thought Cassettes were dead... Fiio puts that rumor to bed. Fiio has been killing it lately.

If I got them, here's what I'd do: -Remove all drivers and the networks -Blow out/wipe out as much dust as possible. -Give the top, front, sides a very light sanding -Repaint with whatever gloss or matte level black paint you choose -Contact JEM Performance Audio or forum member DeanG for network rebuilding options -Reinstall everything -Enjoy -

The real problem I see is the difficulty designing for both modes since finer tuning is different for triode and ultralinear, it takes more than just a simple switch between the tube and OPTs. FWIW I had a Line Magnetic LM216IA that I preferred in triode. At my listening levels in my system there was no difference between 22 watts and 38. -
Seriously? I can honestly tell the difference. Did a lil bit of an A/B test yesterday and there's a vast difference just like I knew there would be. The compression game sucks for sure. It does fill a void though with one's level of worthlessness. 😂 -
Not yet. However, I've been watching online sales for a while so I have an idea when they are going for... I'm comfortable with the deal we have tentatively struck, I just wanted to be aware of any known issues... provided they are just good, solid, old La Scalas I should be in good shape. I'll update the post once I have a chance to see / listen to them in person. -
Has anyone given you an idea of price once a buy is in the offing? Have a relaxed time and trade... -
The seller is going to have them set up so I can listen to them before we complete the deal.

I would want to hear them before buying. Look for pealing/delaminating of plywood, dinged corners, water damage, etc.
