what night monsters hate most: long, thin & hot filaments.

Why isn't anyone comparing the new liquid lightning 2t to other electrostatic amplifiers like t2,kgsshv carbon and bhse?

 

[JimL11]

AFAIK, the Liquid Lightning has not been for sale for some time.

There have been comparisons made but like JimL11 said the LL2 is no longer in production.

Long story short:
Personally I like both of them. My 007 MKII seems to like the LL2SS and brightens up a bit with it, they seem too dark and a little laid back on the BHSE.
The 009 likes either one, a little more edgy on the LL2SS perhaps.
I couldn't talk Alex into putting a normal bias socket on my LL2 so I cant compare them with my Lambda NB. But the BHSE does a fantastic job with the LNB.
IMO, YMMV, etc...

You might search the BHSE or LL2 threads for the write-ups that have been done. mine included.

What about liquid lightning 2 tube version?like there are literally 2 reviews and no comparisons of it on the internet

 

[bearFNF]

Couldn't tell you much there, it's been way too long since I listened to it. But when I did, I bought the SS version mostly because I wanted the SS not due to any sound issues. FWIW

 

[Thaudiophile]

What about a fully upgraded Wes?

What about a fully upgraded Wes?

This was discussed a few months ago in this thread, do a search. Bottom line, the consensus was the WES was not competitive with the BHSE. Another indicator is that a used BHSE goes for close to the price of a new one, whereas a used WES goes for significantly less.

Does a WES even sell. Hmm.....

IIRC, a Woo WES went on eBay a few months ago for somewhere around $3000-3500.

Fair. However, I'm not quite sure I'd consider eBay an informed buyer's marketplace. It doesn't count.

I have seen a lot of Wes for around 3000-4500$ around the internet.

That is funny....

It's not just what people are asking for them, it's what they are actually selling for. Used BHSEs sell at close to their new price. WES doesn't.

I know that, i just hoped for a tube amp that is under 5k and is on the level of bhse, looks i have to settle with a solid state.
