Hi DaveyF ,
Thanks for the reply , your right regarding the resolution of the D79B when one is using the stock input tubes & output tubes . I purchased new old stock Telefunken 12AX7's , a pair of them and Svetlana KT88's and this transforms the amps resolution. Unfortunately I think all my Caps have dried up and in need of recapping .
Regarding the new vs old amps , I had the relunctanly sold my D250MK2 Servo and my Classic 150 monoblocks and my SP11MK 2 to purchase REF 610T's , REF 5SE and Phono 2SE and I did not regret it , these units are simply in another level compared to my old units, but because of their higher resolution careful cable matching and setup is critical to get the best from these newer equipment.
I still have my pair of D79B's , EC21 and SP10MK2 as my vintage system using them w/ my rebuilt stock Magnepan MG3A . I occasionally use these system once in a while.
Will let you know when a comparison had been made w/ the REF75 .
Best regards ,
