| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi@gte357s,Good question that I should have addressed in prior comments. I purchased my CSLS MK II new in 2009 and it came with the Shuguang 101d. This is a good sounding tube at very reasonable cost and is also reliable. I switched to the Psvane ... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings @Thaluza, I do feel the innate differences between the 101D and 6SN7 are at play as factors. Very different tubes for sure.Charles | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi @thaluza"Regarding the tonal qualities of the CSLS, my initial impression of the CSLS was similar to the OP’s. However, I found a dac and cables that I like that tailored the sound more to my liking. So maybe this is a compliment for the CSLS. ... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi@gte357s,I hear ya 😊. Two splendid choices, each with its alluring strengths. Just depends on which one you’d find more satisfying in the long term. I’m 90-95% jazz as well 😊.Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure sim_audio_nerd,Looking forward to your listening impressions. Charles | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings @gte357s, Any further preamplifier listening impressions/thoughts?Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I have no reason to question that the superb Nenuphar drive utilized in an open baffle speaker with good implementation would sound very well. I'm not convinced at all that it would exceed the Nenuphar speaker in sound quality. As admirable as t... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @sim_audio_nerd, I've never owned the Coincident "Victory" models but have the Coincident Total Eclipse II and love them. If I were to change speakers the Nenuphars would be high on a very short list. I don't believe that you'll have any regrets... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure "There are trade-offs with either approach. Matching YOUR needs and preferences should take priority".Agree 100% David.With this speaker I'd prefer tubes (I just like what tubes do). However no question that there has been much success reported by... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings @gte357s, Thanks for your impressions. According to Thomas Mayer who builds heirloom level amplifiers, he said he finds the ISO Tango and HIrata Tango output transformers equally excellent. Charles | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi@gte357s,I’ve never heard an Otomon Lab amplifier but I know they are highly regarded custom Japanese products. I would imagine that it mates well with your two line stages. Does yours utilize Tango or Tamura output transformers?what 300b tubes ... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi gte357s, I’ve heard 5 different DACs in my system running through the CSL . Each of them were very good (Not a dog amongst them). The individual sonic signature of each one was easily and clearly distinct from the others. Same outcome when a f... | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings Hi @gte357s,Click my avatar, you can see my full system with pictures and descriptions. I named my audio system “SET Bliss” Happy Memorial Day.Charles | |
| Modwright LS100 vs The followings @gte357s, Thanks for your follow-up listening impressions and comments. You note the transparency of the Coincident Statement Line Stage (CSL). And you’re right, audio system synergy of components/cables are very key and will be exposed. In my opi... | |
| CD v Streamed @river251,Agree that the issue of compressed recordings via streaming services is worth exploring and exposing. If this practice is the norm then if does cause one to contemplate the value/need of higher price streamers. If this focused attention ... |
