| Assistance with Coincident set-up I agree with Onemuk , as I would think long and hard befor I let the Franks. I don't think I will ever let them go.It may be my preamp, I was considering the Coincident but I need rca connections for my tuner, cdplayer and I also listen to vinyl.I... | |
| Sansui TU-X1 Tuner Baranyi,I also have a McIntosh MR77, that I bought about 10 years ago. It is completely stock, I never had it aligned or adjusted because I always enjoyed it.I firmly believe if it ain't broke don't fix it.I brought the TU-X1 to Ken at Stereo Surg... | |

| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? Two years back I bought a used pair of Coincident Total Victorys IV .Last year I bought a new pair of Coincident Frankenstein's to mate with the the TVC's. Using KR 300bxls tubes, this amp is a steal at it's selling price, expecially mated with th... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? Coincident Total Victory IV's which I have owned for 2 years.I have no desire to change them.They improved even more when I purchased a pair of Coincident 300b Frank's.I love this hobby !! | |
| Best 300B Montejay,I checked the date of manufacture, I was off a little.The date is 5-3-2001 and 2-3-2001 , the test results on each tube are 99% the same.YMMV but in my system they sound very good . | |
| Best 300B Montejay,I have the paperwork that has the serial numbers and the date of manufacture.I'm at work now but if you want to know the exact date I can look tonight when I get home. | |
| Best 300B Charles1dad,I bought these on Audiogon,about 6 months back,the seller bought them new and never used them.I'm sure they were new because it took 200 hrs before they started to sound good.At 300 hours I stopped counting the hours and just enjoy the... | |
| Best 300B I also have the Coincident Frank's 300b and I have tried around a dozen 300b's and my favorite is the KR 300b xls.They are the test tube shape and they were made in the late 90's. The Frank's are amazing with these tubes ! I have a pair of Black T... | |

| Recommend 300b tubes for Frankenstein Amps BrfI've had the Victory IV's for almost a year and I have no desire to get ride of them. I was using them with a well known 300b amp, which I sold. I purchased a Coincident Frankenstein amp and the speakers sound much better . Then I purchased coi... | |
| Recommend 300b tubes for Frankenstein Amps Thanks everyone for the responses. I emailed Israel and he also recommends the Black Glass. He said they sound as good as the kR Balloons and are very reliable. He is currently using a pair as we speak. | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i I have a Aries 3 with the 10.5i and it's a nice match , very smooth with no distortion and plenty of air. The XV-1s is the way to go if you can afford it. I got better sound from my Aries when I put a granite surface plate under it.For the money I... | |
