| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno Thanks for the comment. Putting the bridge in my PWD was a huge upgrade over the prior USB input... | |
| PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer? @rbstehno and you felt that improved the sound (not the user experience)? I have a dsd w bridge ii and am totally content using bubbleupnp to stream, would probably continue using that even if adding an auralic... | |
| How much power do I need? Find out using this method... And as I just posted in another thread: if you don't have a DMM, they're worth having around... I bought this one for $25 and it does just fine.https://www.amazon.com/Alloet-True-RMS-Digital-Multimeter-Voltage/dp/B072JMBLJS/ref=asc_df_B072JMBLJ... | |
| Will 2 watts monoblock 45 tube amp work for 90db speakers ? And if you don't have a DMM, they're worth having around... I bought this one for $25 and it does just fine.https://www.amazon.com/Alloet-True-RMS-Digital-Multimeter-Voltage/dp/B072JMBLJS/ref=asc_df_B072JMBLJ... | |
| Will 2 watts monoblock 45 tube amp work for 90db speakers ? If you have a multi meter, you can use the test tone & technique provided here to calculate how many watts your speakers actually use: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/204857-test-voltage-power-speakers.htmlIt’s super informative &... | |
| Metal cabinet speakers @unsound Not a metal cabinet, but Coincident has used d'appolito arrays and first-order crossovers in some of their speakers... http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/eclipse.htm Speaker features: "1.The D'Appolito alignment is optimally applied to m... | |
| Metal cabinet speakers I did a tour of the YG facility and their process was super impressive, and the speakers did sound great. They CNC all their own parts/drivers/cabinets out of 2" thick aircraft grade aluminum. No parallel surfaces, double walled cabinet construct... | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? @charles1dad Regarding AS's review pieces, I don't know that he purposefully gets different pieces, but you can see his Franks' stock caps here: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Frankenstein.html. He's got a Solen FEP/SN coupling cap and a Solen... | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? Hi all, and especially @charles1dad I certainly don't want to contribute to the negativity around here, but I do think that people need to be aware of the Coincident issues. As noted above, I've been lied to multiple times by Mr. Blume. I want... | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? @grannyring You know that's not true! The replacement driver didn't have the model number blacked out! Finally the additional cost makes sense... it's just a labor charge for the pulling the drivers and using the sharpie. Obviously Mr. Blume's ... | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? @rost Don't know that I'd say that they don't maintain "tight quality control... in parts selection and assembly." As @brownsfan suggests, everything in my equipment seemed well made. I did read that there were quality control issues with the r... | |
| Vibration Isolation Has anyone tried cutting in half? Presumably less material means less load support? | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? I always assumed made in Canada, but like @bill_k I've seen some indications that they may be made (and also sometimes copied) in China. I can't remember the brand, but I saw someone post an almost verbatim "copy" of a Dynamo with a Chinese face ... | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? They don't come up much, but Coincident super or total eclipses are beautiful matches. Some other Coincident speakers aren't quite efficient enough. I had Frank's and SEIIIs and loved it so much I bought Coincident PRE's. Unfortunately the Frank's... | |
| Supratek or Don Sachs - which way to go? Just got a Sachs preamp delivered yesterday. I'll post more after I've got a couple hundred hours on it, but first impressions are very positive. |
