Most of the time this is not an issue, it’s when the starting levels are either a lot higher or lower than the average that I adjust the volume. I just use the pause button on my Bluesound node app if the volume needs adjustment in between tracks as I work through my play lists. I love Tidal Daily Discovery and I have been building lots of varied playlists. Everything had its compromises and it is for each of us to choose. No doubt I will find something’s it could do better and I would love a remote control and a headphone jack, Steve D has explained this, he choose sound quality over functionality. What will it sound like if I add back in my premap? What will it sound like with a better DAC/ Steamer? What will it sound like with some open baffle speakers (long term aspiration). What will it sound like with some Cyro tubes if a roll these at the front end? also on my wish list. ![]() There is still much to learn and explore how will the amp mature? How will it sound with vinyl? Is a sub woofer not needed? What will it sound like with some WE300b tubes. Again this needs more time and experimentation to confirm my initial thoughts. I know I am missing some of the very low notes but the Sarah has a surprising amount of base in my room. I also added some Decware DSR3 interconnects.Īfter trying the system with and without the Rel subwoofer my initial thought was it doesn’t need it. When I added the Sarah I swapped out the Reisong Q6 tube pre amp and Marantz NR 1200 being used as a power amp. ![]() My Sarah 300b has the standard tube set with the Chinese 300b tubes from Decware. It had a big sound stage and a good balanced sound. It took me circa 3 years to assemble this system starting my journey into good sound. U shaped room circa 45 square meters in total with and a high angled roof over the main listening space (circa 25 sqm). Rega T3 turntable, with a Rega Phono MM mk4 with a Rega exact cartridge. IsoAcoustic isolation pads for the speakers and amps Marantz NR1200 integrated amp (being used a power amp) My system before The Sarah 300b came along. So I need to validate this initial impression later along my journey. Note, I only swapped these for 10 or 15 minutes because I was having too much fun with T6’s. More than loud enough for me in my listening room. Seemingly without any trouble (83db sensitivity). ![]() It looks gorgeous and is magical in the late evening with the tubes glowing with a soft orange light. It has made my jaw drop on multiple occasions. It’s keeps me listening…one more song…oh go on then one more. I can say vocals, strings and horns really really stand out. I haven’t listened enough to understand fully how it lends itself to all types of music, it strengths, it’s weaknesses, it ‘s range. So far I have tried many types of music types and it seems to be good with all of them. It is giving me more detail than than I have had before. It’s almost as if it has more time, like great sportsmen and women, it seems relaxed unhurried and yet it has great rhythm and pace. Vocals have a locked in centre image and a specific location its easy to imagine the singer right there. If it’s not a good recording you will know it but somehow makes it sound better than it should. If it’s a good recording you can really hear it. It just sounds right, more natural to me. All Digital, I haven’t yet tried the amp with a turntable and vinyl.
