I find the sound especially the timbre of the insturments to be very lifelike. I guess in current audio-speak I would describe the combination as musical and revealing.

jottow2	I own Don's 300B monoblocks and love them. I prefer EML 300B's with them which make them outstanding. TJ 300B's are also a good match, but use the 6bk7 in place of the 6bq7. In his amps they are interchangeable. Don can give you more info on the different driver tubes that will work. It all becomes a matter of choice. The driver tubes are cheap.

I think he means in an electrical sense, or am I wrong? Where's Todd?, posted on November 2, 2009 at 10:08:10

While your at it, can you ask him a question?, posted on November 5, 2009 at 00:28:27
Frihed89 Audiophile Posts: 8435 Location: Copenhagen Joined: March 21, 2005	One mfr claims that there is distortion that you can't negate through NFB. It occurs at very low output levels (before the NFB can work) and is the highly audible. Is this true? "What did the Romans ever do for us?"

That's great to hear...a proud dad.

I was with a start up team in MA 1955 as a 7th grader, then helped start a college lacrosse team in the 60s in CO and now Denmark. I am nowhere near as good as some of the Grand Masters i have met in the UK who are still playing their 70s! Those that can't run that fast can shoot the wings off a dragon fly at 20M, pretty incredible.

I am having one of those Mondays and may have misunderstood the question...Don uses tube rectification in the 300b in lieu of solid state. He may offer SS but my unit as well as the one mentioned here use tube. With that in mind, I am happy with the sound. I also have an AN Oto SE and like it as well. 300b SET vs EL 84 SE ???? I am extremely pleased with the sound and quality of both. It will be hard to go wrong with anything designed and built by Don. I own Don Allen equipment as well as Audio Note equipment and I highly recommend both. Will
