| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Oh I see, I imagine both of them sound quite well with your Hornings. Charles, | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hello Joe, you've described the wonderful pairing of the Frankenstein and Eufrodites. Do plan to keep both your F.W.J2 and the Pass XA30.8 ?Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,I agree with your sentiments regarding this happy vibe thread you initiated. In all honesty the negative comments have been miniscule given the enormous volume of this thread. A few posts from wolf and some others but it hasn't amounted to a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello nyame,I am a jazz nut but in terms of classical music I find that I’m drawn to Cello and piano (I really like Mstislav Rostropovich as an example). The emotion of his playing saturates my room. Thanks for the recommendation.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... These artists aren’t necessarily universally known but are nonetheless superb jazz musicians. Pianist John Hicks, "Twogether" (correct spelling ). Features alto saxophonist Frank Morgan on a few cuts. Pianist, Fred Hersch, "Dancing In The Dark "Ha... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello Bill (Brownsfan ),It's so good to hear from you. Labtec implied posters here care more about fuses than music listening and that is the antithesis of my observation. As you astutely noted the tweaks are simply a means to increasing our music... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hello labtec, One of the side benefits of this thread has been the fairly frequent posting/sharing of music titles and recordings. This is due to the large number of music lovers who have participated in this very friendly thread. I’ve actually he... | |

| What is the best OTL out there? Hi David, Based on word of mouth and reputation I’m sure that Berning amplifier you cite sounds terrific. Sometimes you reach a point where you’re just content with what you have. That’s where I happen to be at this time. 😊😊Charles, | |
| In the market for a CD transport any opinions?? Yes,In terms of features you may certainly find other transports that suit your needs and that’s understandable. My enthusiasm for the PWT is essentially based on sound quality as a stand alone criteria. Charles, | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Hi Al,Thanks very much for your illuminating comments. Well it sure seems that the Berning is an OTL amplif only in the sense that it lacks the "traditional "output transformer. Given information you provided calling it an OTL design is a generou... | |
| In the market for a CD transport any opinions?? I'd suggest the PS Audio PWT. It is a pure single purpose CD transport that provides excellent sonic /musical results. This is a top tier memory transport that can be purchased used for under 2000 dollars. It has an exceptional natural and engag... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Al,Intelligent and logical inquiry as usual. Xonex77 could you share more detail about your very unique OTL amplifiers using these unusual (for this application )tubes. This is quite interesting. David Berning makes a 300b SET /OTL amplifier (Sie... | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers Hello ajant,Get in touch with audiogon member Snopro. He has the First Watt J2 (and I believe also the Pass Labs XA 30.8 ) as well as a Coincident 300b mono block SET. He had them driving Zu speakers but now has the Horning Eufrodite speakers. I’m... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Shindo D'Yquem amps (Vosnee-Romanee pre)... Hello Asa,The LM 755i is a single driver speaker. Do you forsee frequency extremes or music genre limitations as a result? I know you have very good ears and taste 😊 In some respects I can imagine this combination being virtually sublime. Charles, |
