    YAMAHA B-3 on the way...to me!

    Yeah! - When I say "replaced" the B-3 that don't mean I sold or let those babies go. Just put them out for a spell, and brought in the Victor. Those B-3 will remain for sure, but you need to rotate the collection at intervals that suits you best..

    YAMAHA B-3 on the way...to me!

    I have B-2 & B-3. (and A-S1000 & A-S1200) I have teamed these v-fet amps with various pre-amps, run B-2 direct to source, run 1 B3, against 1 B-2 comparison. IME 2 x B3 run in BTL mode, driven by a quality pre-amplifier - in my case a 6SN7 circuit based tube pre --- will simply sound better than...

    SONY TA N7B COMPARED TO TA N90ES

    Anecdotally -- I think its a general misconception that some folks think that vfets, or amps with vfet power output devices, should not been driving loads under 8ohm. I have read this in comments by people on other forums over the years. I don't know where this notion arised, or from where it...

    So What is Still Able to Compete?

    Indeed - One of the standouts, that blew so many people away at a recent International HiFi Show in Melbourne was a Revox R2R tape player. Exceptional sound quality that by all accounts bested the most expensive sources and TT's.. Master tapes notwithstanding....But still "old skool" .. :cool:

    So What is Still Able to Compete?

    Its more than parts. Just putting in "new caps" aint going to make much difference to a vintage piece if the design itself is crap. It will still be crap. Same with new components and current hifi. Don't matter if it was built yesterday - if the circuit is not designed well it will not be good...

    Jvc a-x9

    I also have a lead on an A-X9, coming out of Europe. Looking forward to adding it to the collection. The design, let alone the sonics, is superb! Talking JVC - Here's another one, well Victor only - Japan only that seriously kicks some butt. The JM-S7 Fantastic amplifier...;):beerchug:

    B2 pushing top end of Kappa 9. Risky?

    To answer your question, risky?, yes -- What you really need to ask yourself is -- is it a risk I am willing to take? Only you can answer that. If you do decide to accept the risk, please report back your results!!

    PIcking up my A-s2100 this weekend (currently using A-s2000)

    certainly is pretty. I have seen, but not heard all the recent Yamaha amps. Very nice in the flesh. I am soo glad Yamaha in their wisdom decided to retro-design their amps. It was a very wise decision I reckon. Maybe they were thinking that they may even get a repeat client from 1978!-- Well...

    PIcking up my A-s2100 this weekend (currently using A-s2000)

    The A-S3000 is MOSFET same as 2100. Both amps use same devices Sanken MLE20 mosfets.
