@mclinnguy I've been very lazy (my bad) about updating my systems and they don't really come close to showing or listing them components. The system with my turntable is the closest to being accurate because I have not really changed components etc.
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
Just purchased one of these beasts from Israel of Coincident (quite the gentleman).
I already have a few SET amps that buck the trend of little bass and dynamics that often get associated with S.E.T. amps.
The Frankie is a top notch power amplifier. Not a good value. Not a giant killer. A true, top quality power amplifier period.
I swapped out the stock tubes and what happened next shocked me. Of course the midrange is gorgeous, But I did not expect the highs to sparkle and the bass to have definition, texture, and punch. Sorry, I intended to say PUNCH.
As always, speaker matching is a key and a stable 6 Ohm speaker will sound best - but these babies are the real deal.
BTW, they retail at around $2,500.
Disclaimer - I am not a Coincident dealer and have no affiliation with Coincident. I am a NOS tube dealer.
