@in_shore "The 432 Evo Aeon i had was the full option model at $8500.00 ,it’s sold ."That’s quite a tribute to the Pro-Ject RS2 transport by any standard.Charles 
Tannoy Turnberry SE vs Kensington SE - Semi Review
@richdirector, With this amplifier and speaker pairing and having the Pro-Ject RS2 Box CD transport upstream (Intrigued by this transport) I can imagine that your system's sound is simply divine. Charles  
What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question)
"Simply enjoy both and upgrade as needed, I don't get the angst over which format is best. Both are capable of artist in room amazement"@sns,  so true!  Concise and excellent summation.Charles  
Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
Alex,It just goes to show that no matter how good any particular audio product is it won’t please everyone. The Elrogs certainly were not lean sounding in my amplifier/audio system. The tone was full bodied and quite organic and alive in its sonic... 
Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
Hi Thomas, You have established a 5 year track record of Elrog tube dependability and minimal if any tube failures.  I applaud you for that and making a superb sounding tube reliable.  In hindsight it seems that the issue all along was poor tube f... 
Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B
@dingo,The more I contemplate your comments in this thread,  I believe that the Shindo 300b is the right choice for you in the long run. You are a music lover who loves jazz. That wonderful  genre I suspect would sound  fabulous via the Shindo dri... 
Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B
. "Shindo amps are more flavor, than better."That can apply to literally any audio product to one degree or another.  They all will possess some amount of sonic signature and listeners /potential buyers just choose the signature/character they mos... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
@sns, I'm going to email Israel. Ideally I'd like him to ship me the transformers (Amtrans volume  control from PartsconneXtion or Amtrans directly) and I'll have them installed locally. Will see how it goes. 12 years I've owned the Statement Line... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
Thanks Gary. It's been some years ago but I think I purchased my Takatsuki tubes through them.  Yes,  guilty of straying off topic but @sns was  providing some highly appreciated information and perspective. Charles  
Air Tight ATM-300R or Shindo Cortese 300B
@sailboat, I appreciate your insight and impressions from the perspective of someone who has had the pleasure of owning both renown Audio brands. Undoubtedly one could not possibly go wrong with either of these amplifiers. It simply would be what ... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
@sns,Okay I see (Your earlier post above) that Amtrans is available through the Parts ConneXion . What specific part number/model? Thanks my friend. Charles 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
@sns,Yes I'm definitely getting the message that the Amtrans volume control is a worthwhile acquisition.  What specific selector knob should be ordered? Does it come directly from Amtrans ? I have a local tech who could make the swap.  Is this a p... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
@sns,I was aware of the MK II upgrade when introduced a couple of years ago. I had no interest at the time due to my complete satisfaction with my MK I original model. I could see where an improvement of the volume control transformers could make ... 
LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ?
@sns, Thank you for the additional insight regarding the MK II upgrades compared to my original version. More natural sounding? That’s quite something as what I admire most about this Coincident Statement line stage is its pure and natural charact...
