In Reply to: LD MkII Dual Mono Vs. LUX SET posted by JoseL on August 25, 2011 at 19:32:33:
Hi,
In most areas the Lux 91 and Lady Day 91 are more similar than different.
The Lux 91 does run the 300B a little harder than the Lady Day 91 and this gives a slightly different tone, possibly very slightly less elegant and refined sounding than a Lady Day 91. On the plus side the greater power output and cleaner overload behaviour which means the Lux 91 goes subjectively a lot louder, more so than the doubled power suggests.
The Lady Day with 6SL7 & CCS Driver and Gridchoke is somewhere between Lady Day 91 and Lux 91 in terms of overload behaviour, but it does not sound quite as detailed and "open window" as the WE 91 based Amplifiers do. In some ways this Lady Day sounds a little more like a stereotypical SE Tube Amp, though going all Film Cap's still makes it sound much cleaner than traditional Amp's. Swapping the 6SL7 for a D3a (needs a different Tube Socket and circuit changes, it is NOT "plug and Play") run at 10mA/170V can significantly improve this Amplifier.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
