An Audio Blog by Walden - Ideas & Insights on Audio & Good Sound
The EL84. Gracious Sound from a Small Tube.
Very often, it can be difficult to predict how an amplifier will sound. We assume that by reading enough reviews and analyzing technical specifications, we understand how a piece of audio equipment will perform. Given how significant the investment can be, the risk of a wrong choice is considerable. Yet somehow, that risk feels smaller when it comes to an EL84 amplifier.
Field Coil Speakers
If you’re looking for loudspeakers that let you connect with music on the deepest emotional level, you simply can’t ignore field-coil designs. Field-coil drivers don’t use permanent magnets but electromagnets - a technology found in early cinema loudspeakers from companies like Western Electric and Klangfilm.
