Atma-Sphere in CO?
@tomic601 Will do.

@brownsfan Actually there aren't any caps or resistors on either the woofers or midrange.  Only that one cap attached to the tweeter.  From Coincident:  "The signal path contains only one capacitor (Mundorf – The most transparent cap for the purpo... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Totally agree... a great thread with lots and lots of information.  I can't remember if it was this one or the Tekton DI thread, but the Dueland speaker wire recommendations (from @grannyring ) totally transformed my experience with my Coincident ... 
Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra?
@lula & @4hannons I would love to hear about that comparison too...

@atmasphere Thanks for the information Ralph. Fortunately I was running them with my Duelund speaker cables and Ocellia interconnects. I’ll hook them up to my little desktop speakers and let them play for a couple days and then give them another s... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@essrand Unfortunately I can't comment on break-in.  I didn't have my stereo over the past year and had been using the Lyngdorf on some $100 klipsh desktop speakers for about 4 months before finally getting it into the real system this August.  So...

@shkong788 I did try the unit simply as a DAC (in lieu of my PS Audio PWD).  Again, it excelled in smoothness, bass, and reliability (streaming just always worked right).  I felt, however, that the PWD had a fuller sound with better body.  To stea...

@essrand Sorry for the delayed feedback regarding the Lyngdorf.  Although I didn't think the unit sounded bad, I eventually came to the conclusion that all of the reasons I liked the unit were really just about convenience.  I loved streaming Tida...

I've now gotten a good demo with the M-60 (it came with a nice set of VT-321s, including RCA smoked glass and Ken-Rads). I believe it improved on the Frankensteins in two dimensions: 1) bass definition & quantity, and 2) "cleanliness," ... 
Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra?
Thanks Charles, I'm looking forward to the listening impressions as well! It's been a long journey getting my PREs up and running and it's really nice to be finally getting there. Hopefully the preamp will put me in a place where I'm just tweaking... 
Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra?
@4hannons Really appreciate the offer... unfortunately on the wrong side of the Rockies in Denver.@thaluza & @markwatkiss Just put in an order for The Truth.  Dual power supplies, 3 inputs, & "new" photo cells = $1050.  Added a remote ($30... 
Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra?
Thanks again for the input folks.  A few responses:1)  Lots of positive things about The Truth.  Given some of the similarities between my system and folks using that pre-amp (and that I have plenty of gain and am currently going direct from DAC),...

@thaluza Thanks for the suggestion, that's exactly why I made the thread. I will investigate...& @mboldda1 Unfortunately I absolutely must have the remote. I've been trained by a lifetime of whimsical volume adjustment... 
Advice for killer desktop speakers
+1 for the JBLLSR305s.  I have them on my desk at work and they are beautiful, non-fatiguing speakers.  Three years in and it's still a pleasure to turn them on. (I've got a Coincident system at home) 
Atma-Sphere in CO?
Thanks again for all the input folks.  Will be very curious to find out how it shakes out... I pick up the amps tomorrow, so I should know more by the end of the weekend.
