| Linestage search Rafael,You are welcome. You can Google his reviews of both products ànd should be able to contact him via enjoythemusic.comGood luck, Charles | |
| Linestage search Hi Rafael, Ron Nagle is a reviewer for the Web site Enjoy the music.com.He’s done professional reviews of the EAR 868 and the Coincident Statement Line Stage. I’d think that makes him a pretty rare bird 😊. Of course it’s just one man’s opinion but... | |
| Linestage search I wrote that George "may" have confused the Manley products but this is a wrong assumption. He probably saw the same website information that Al has pointed out as erroneous. Charles | |
| Linestage search Matt,AL verified the correct gain level of the Manley Jumbo Shrimp via consulting the owner manual. It appears that George may have confused the 2 different products when citing the gain figures. I don't think anyone would dispute 45 to 60 db of... | |
| Linestage search Al is right in that the 45 to 60 db of gain for the Manley has to be an error. That amount of gain is absurd to the point of insanity. There’s no way I believe that Manley would offer a line stage with over the top gain (unusable in practical term... | |
| Best amps for everything EXCEPT bass Advice from JohnnyR is absolutely wise and rational. Unless it's hyperbole, cajunbaseball has stated the Quicksilver V4 sounds "outstanding". If this is true, why replace it? I believe that the addition of a top tier preamplifier could result in... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jcarcopo, -I’m glad you are having fun with this "ordeal" 😊. Life is to be enjoyed. Human nature dictates that a few reported bad experiences dealing with retail dealers take precedence over probably 100s (1000s?) of good transactions. Place of or... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Jcarcopo, By all accounts I'm aware of the Crossfire is superb. I'd love to hear this amplifier in a direct comparison to the superb sounding Italian Viva amplifiers. If you decide to get the Crossfire I'm very interested in your listening imp... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? Hi gdhal, You heard distinct differences amongst the 3 amplifiers you auditioned. That’s been my experience as well and so it seems with some other contributors to this thread. Some people seem to feel that if an amplifier measures well and has pr... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts +1 Sbayne. Tom is going to receive an excellent custom built amplifier from Aric.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Aric,Thanks for the additional information. This custom made 300b amplifier driving the Double Impact SE will be a fantastic pairing is my prediction. Do you have an opinion regarding electrolytic versus "film" capacitors in the power supply ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,I'm also a fan of live recordings (especially jazz) here's a recommendation I think that you'll enjoy very much. "Roger Kallaway At The Jazz Standard " It’s a 2 CD set. Kallaway pianoRussell Malone guitar Stephon Harris vibraphone I don't ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Tom,It's refreshing to read that you've established such trust and good relationship with Aric. As we've discussed before 300b SET circuits are many decades old (and proven when done right).Aric apparently has a good ear and building talent. C... | |
| Amplifier Recommendations to Match the Tannoy GRF90 Hi Cal,Sorry to hear about that. For what ever reason I have had no problems. I don’t think all of Coincident speakers are easily driven to the same degree. My Total Eclipse II speakers shine with the 8 watt Frankenstein (14 ohm nominal load surel... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jcarcopo,You summed up very well the essential characteristics of the Elrog and the EML. The only Elrog and Takatsuki have a "bit " more inner detail and "slightly" more of an organic nature. The EML XLS is nearly as organic but offers a bit mor... |
