a9050lx Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Still amazed a 2a3 amp makes enough power for the Chorus speakers.At low to moderate levels this combination sounds beautiful.Mostly listening to Ambient and Jazz as that is all I have patience for anymore.I liked the sound of this design so much (single ended direct coupled) I built 2 of them.Using New Sensor 90's vintage Chinese dual plate and Sovtek output tubes, although the Sovteks sound better to me.Anyone that has a desire to build a 2a3 amp at least consider the Shishido.

May not have the ballz of the VRD’s but you’ll be amazed at the clarity. My Wright’s ran the helll out of my LS but ran out of steam trying to get Jubes really cookin’.

Godataloss Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I second SET+KHORN+AMBIENT= BLISS! Ambient was all I listened to for much of the 90's then I went away from it when I got out of the HIFI hobby. Getting back into it I was pleased to stumble on the 2017 album by Bola called D.E.G. It's very much old-school with Aphex Twin, Orb, FSOL influences, but very, very well done. A true system workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
