Sounds much softer in the second configuration. Very detailed. The artist was in the room. Nice.

I've got the R8 and I'm honestly pretty impressed for the price

Absolutely 💯 correct, I have the R8,805,300b, love them all, can't beat the performance to cost ratio, outstanding. 😊
@MixMatchStereoАй бұрын
Also I would like to correct the price that I paid for the R300B, it was 1200 from China hi fi, I paid 1500 for the R8 from Amazon.

Hi Sarge, Glad to see that you invested in the Willsenton R300B. It’s a great value for the money. I bought the Willsenton R8 integrated (push-pull) a few years back and love it. A year ago I bought a Sunvalley 300B from Japan via a distributor in Vancouver. A very plain looking unit with a set of new Western Electric 300B tubes. (5-year warranty on the tubes). I really love the sound and like you said, only 8-watts, but it’s only a power amp. I like the first track you played as I think there were too many things in the signal chain on the second. Keep up the good work and you sure know how to hide cables.

Great job Sarge! Love the AB testing. Both sounded really good. I think the CD direct to the 300b as an integrated sounded like it had a little more. more air

Very nice, Sarge! Good microphone setup too! At first impression, think I prefer the first version. But over a few hours the second version would probably be more pleasing.

Thanks for the review . It was excellent. I’m considering this very amp, but another KZbinr called it a piece of junk. Have you had any issues with it. Thanks again, cheers

Nice options in the system but for me the weak link is the speakers, personally I can’t stand them as those horns create way too much coloration to the sound. But each to their own 😊
@MixMatchStereoАй бұрын
@@DJWerkz I love the horns, nice open clear, clean sound,but to each his own, if it produces a pleasurable sound, I'm good, I have seven pairs of speakers in house, I love them all, I'm not a true audiophile, I'm easy to please , I could survive with a transistor radio.

Hey Sarge, Beautiful system but don’t you think you went a little crazy with this??? Do you really need all that stuff to play in your living room???? If you live in a colosseum then that’s different but in my humble opinion it’s a little overboard
