RE: 300b set versus 300b parallel set

Posted by RGA on May 24, 2017 at 16:46:35:
I don't have the Empress - That is well down the line. I have to do a preamp first. I will attend the California Audio Show and try to hear some different preamps. The M6 is my front runner but Jack Roberts on our staff prefers Emia over AN and Shindo. Given how affordable the Emia is I want to hear it and see how it is. Passive preamps generally do nothing for me even if they're more "neutral."
I've sold my 219IA and will soon buy my current review sample: The $825 (incl shipping) KingKo KA-101. A 12 watt EL84 Push Pull (I know but...) integrated/headphone amp that can also serve as a power amp.
