A little bit off topic, Pete. But I was curious what you thought of the Western Electric 300B tube

Hello Nick,
That's what I use in my BorderPatrol amps. They have the best tonality of any new 300B out there... plus you get a 5 yr. warranty! Can't beat that!
My $0.02,
Pete

A nice video from "The Listening Chair from Howard Kneller"... Greg from Volti Audio tells us about his new Lucera speaker (with Triode Wire Labs internal & external wiring!) at the Capital AudioFest...

Some feedback from Part Time Audiophile on the Volti & Triode Wire Labs Room... https://pt.audio/2024/11/22/volti-and-cary-and-triode-wire-labs-caf-2024/
Volti and Cary and Triode Wire Labs | CAF 2024
Wait, did I say the Volti and Cary room? I know, I was surprised to walk into this room and not see the usual Volti Audio-BorderPatrol-Triode Wire Labs ?Three Amigos? set-up. (BorderPatrol and Triode Wire Labs were featured in another room.) Instead, Volti?s Greg Roberts placed the Luceras in a more affordable system that included the classic Cary Audio SLI-80 integrated amplifier ($4,995), a Mojo Audio Mystique SE DAC ($8,499) and the Innuos ZENith music server ($6,699 with 2TB storage). Cabling was still supplied by Triode Wire Labs.
The Volti Audio Lucera, finished in a lovely padauk finish for $11,750/pr, captured all the attention in the room. There are so many things to celebrate here?the 99 db sensitivity, the high-quality components inside, and that commanding 15″ woofer. As I mentioned the first time I heard the Luceras, there?s an additional measure of refinement to the Luceras that goes beyond the usual ?Have Fun!? attitude that permeates the rest of the line-up. Instead of a big powerful speaker that is dynamic as all get-out, the Lucera is all that and more. The Volti and Cary room might have been a surprise at first, with its unexpected line-up, but I felt the room knowing that Matthew Partrick was absolutely right about the Luceras.
Thanks Marc!
Cheers,
Pete

A great review from Stereophile's Ken Micallef!!! ... https://www.stereophile.com/content/border-patrol-triode-wire-labs-living-voice
Border Patrol, Living Voice, Triode Wire Labs
Gary Dewes and Pete Grzybowski, the minds behind Border Patrol Audio and Triode Wire Labs, respectively, conjured a sonic space that wasn't merely heard, but felt. A room where sound didn't just exist, but seized the listener, demanding attention.
Said setup included an Innuos Statement Music Server with Next-Gen Power Supply (4TB SSD?$26,200), Gary?s BorderPatrol S20EXD power amplifier (from $22,500) and BorderPatrol DAC SE-i (USB, from $1650). These drove the Living Voice R80 IBX Oak loudspeakers ($42,750?$54,250/pair, depending on finish), a two-way, ported, MTM loudspeaker with 92dB/W sensitivity at 6 ohms and a prodigious bandwidth of 25Hz?20kHz. Soft-toned, super refined, the LVs glowed. Various Triode Wire Labs cables connected it all.
Streaming files ripped from CD, the system brought to life a luminescent Buddy Holly, his voice singing True Love Ways. Gene Ammons?s tenor sax, resonant and rich, wove My Romance. And then, a crisp, early morning wake-up call: Junior Wells, his voice grabbing me by the collar. Shelly Manne and John Marshall?s Poinciana was visceral, natural-sounding. Percussion, drums, and tabla darted across the room like playful puppies. This was a sweet-sounding, naturally toned, fully robust system.
Thanks Ken!!!
Cheers,
Pete
