Re: Need help choosing a new 45 SET.

"I'm not sure what makes my PF Gemini's at $6,000 better sounding than say ,the DRD 45?"
"{You are starting with he assumption that it does, you may find thats not the case. I heard what could well have been the best amp I have ever heard a few months ago, and it was a little 45 job. One of the things it had that went towards the sound was silver wound amorphous core transformers. $2000 may not stretch to a amp with those sorts of parts in but $3000 certainly would. Don't assume that people build their own to save money, in many cases its to get much more for the same money.}"

I agree 100%, not considering readily available finances as a construction variable. Plus, if I were to attempt such a project, my goal would be for the unit to WORK and not catch the house on fire. It would take years for me to gain the knowlege required to build a better machine, not just a functioning one.
