Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps

Wu,
You have an exceptional and unique system, you should consider postlng it in the virtual systems with pictures.

Charles,
Yes I think my current system is producing a sound I like. I have owned various speakers just like everybody else here, and solution/dartzeel shine with some speakers, but not with voxativ (according to both many reviewers and the manufacturer). This was my first SET and I am much more than happy with the match. I still miss the ultra fast speed of s oulution and the near perfect combination of musicality and power of dartzeel , but I would not go back to them as long as keeping the voxativ.

You can always ask Dave in Arizona Tube Supply in eBaynregarding the tungsol. I recently bought matched nos pair from him.

Best regards,

Wu

As Joe said, I think you should have 5u4gb not 5u4g. One time I asked to Coincident whether I can use 274b tube in the 5u4g slot. His answer was like this: i do not recommend it since its voltage rating is less than a 5U4 Gb and the power supply of the Franks is very large."
Haha yes...probably I will consider the virtual system as you recommended.

Charlie/Joe
Have you ever heard anything good/bad about Audio Horizon's tube?

Best regards,

I just received my Takatsuki TA-300b tubes. They sound very nice right out of the box. How many hours before they really shine?

I also bought the star sound tech. apprentice stands. They added clarity and good separation especially in the treble, but I lost some tonal density. They did improve after a week, but I'll give Robert a call. I think you can adjust the sound loosening or tightening the cones.

Sonpro, my good friend just bought the TA-300B tubes. They sounded good out of the box, but took 150 hours before they sounded incredible. You are in for a treat.
