Thoress full-function vs Coincident CSLS/CSPS
I believe that the German Thoress is a top notch manufacturer of excellent tube electronics. You never know for certain until you hear a product or better yet do a direct comparison between two competing components. I seriously doubt that the Thor...

Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
18 watts of Audio Note  300B PSET would seem an absolutely  beautiful pairing with the Viking Tube Master with power to spare. I strongly suspect that this speaker (high sensitivity and easy impedance load/curve) could driven very comfortably with...

Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
@tvad, If you decide to do this adventurous road trip,  I and I’m sure others will be interested in your listening impressions of this intriguing Tubemaster speaker. Would you take your Audio Note amplifiers along or would it be too much of a hass...
