I'm curious how many folks who were initially wowed by the TVC still feel the same way, or if people went back to something else.
Those amps do look very inviting!! I would love to hear those tube amps on the other hand!
Early Thanks for the comments and the suggestionI have started the process, hopely they would grant my requestWhitese will contact you offline to arrange transportation THanksnicholasPromitheusaudio
Hi,I am wondering if it would make sense to modify the TVC with Lundahl or Jensen transformers. Would that be possible? Did anyone think about it or even tried something like this?Forgive me if this should already have been discussed in this thread. It´s soo loooong.
Someone mentioned the "Rollo debacle." Why did he drop out of this discussion? One minute he was touting an all-Promitheus system and the next he's gone back to his active pre-amp. I'm curious only becasue I'm thinking of ordering some Promitheus gear.
Amps look nice Nic. Keep up the good work. Also saw your new powercord on the web page for the first time. Good choice of oyaide connectors. Could you tell us more about it. Is it shielded? What is the ground leg made of?
Quotehere are some pics of the Single Ended 300B amp we are also launching on wednesdayShown here with my AVVT 32BNicholas,What kind of tube inputs and rectifiers(5AR4, 5R4 or U52, 5Y3...?) are you using? Could the amps use with WE300B and how is the sound going to be? Have you tested? Thanks.

Nic --Please tell us more about those tube monoblocks. What's the wpc? When will they be available for purchase? Do you have a pic of the guts? Thanks.

Nice tube with gold pins. Its triode wired THe rectifer used is the 5ar4. I notice with 300bs one should use gz34/5ar4 and 5r4 for the sonic reasons The amps can be used with normal 300b too. But i have not used WE300B as i don't have them in my tube stage YET
Maybe the honeymoon is over for most people regarding the TVC, but I decided I wanted to hear it for myself...my Dual Box arrived yesterday.So far it's been an interesting listen. I'd say the Dual Box is very revealing (warts and all), but so far I wouldn't say it's fatiguing in that way--yet. The music emerges from total blackness, and the TVC brings my attention to things in the mix I had forgotten about, even at a low volume (although I can't reduce the volume nearly as much as my ARC line stage).Some of the source material I played seemed a little brighter than it should, but not in an icepick-gouging type of way, just a little tipped up...other recordings sounded excellent. I guess we'll see what happens.BTW, does anyone know what might take glue off an ebony knob? The knob was taped over during packaging, and now it has adhesive stuck on the top of it.

What is the ground leg made of?SayThe power cords are made out out Oyaide P-037 connectorsthe Live, Neutral and Earth are all the same materialThey are a monocrystal braid with a rectangular copper(instead of round). This are good for 20A circuits.And they have a nice outer shield tooHope this helps
