kevinmi Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I've drooled on the pics of their amps. Does that count for anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx I have heard them, stunning, however, it was a totally subjective experience the 3 or 4 times I have heard them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted February 3, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 3, 2022 @ToolShedAmps Matt pops in from time to time. There or 3 or 4 on here who have them, or are waiting for them to be built. I'm gathering there is a 6 month waiting list but don't quote me on that.

captainbeefheart Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Wow those have some serious eye appeal to them. I have never heard of them and I have been researching small boutique amp companies that specifically make single ended amplifiers. There are just so many small amp builders out there today it's amazing really. I am excited to hear the engineer is a member? I'll try the search function for some threads he has made.

MC39693 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm not sure where it is, but they posted a full build thread. It was great. If I had the money... a trip to cheese head state and a GB game along with an amp would be a mighty fine road trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 If I’m not mistaken a Toolshed tube amp with volume control and a Primare solid state integrated were used at a Klipsch Pilgrimage three or four year ago ? Each was A - B’d in the demo room by a Klipsch employee. I doubt this would happen today as Klipsch has teamed with Cary for the Cary Heritage line to match with Klipsch Heritage. Yes, they are lookers with great build quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToolShedAmps Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Howdy all, tipped to this thread by a Klipsch customer in Des Moines................. Been busy. A new review dropped either late Saturday or early Sunday over at Part-time Audiophile............ here is the link in case you have interest in reading. https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2022/01/28/toolshed-amps-transcendence-300b-amplifier-review/ Although the reviewer used a single, wide-band speaker, you all know I'm more of a Klipsch/Altec guy. Different strokes for different folks. It's all good. No hard feelings with Klipsch management about the Cary thing either........... Billy is a great guy and Cary has some decent product. Business is business. Cheers! Matt. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find any specifications or performance information for your amps, mainly just your basic FFT plots at say 1 watt and full output, distortion% vs frequency, and output power vs distortion. Cross talk, signal to noise, square wave response, and output impedance would also be nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbeefheart Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Don't mind me I didn't see the 'more info' link to the amplifier. I see it says: 17Hz-35KHz +/-3db@ Less Than 1.0%THD (Exclusively 2nd Order) to 8 or 16 Ohms (Selectable) I assume since there is no mention of power this is measured at 8 watts output, the rated output of the amplifier? That's actually much lower distortion compared to typical 300b amplifiers, nice work. I imagine you are using the E180F in pentode mode to get enough gain for global feedback to get the distortion that low at full output? I like seeing people doing things different, people think it sacrilege to use negative feedback with an power triode output stage. Typical open loop performance from a 300b amp is 5% THD or more at 6-7 watts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
