| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Brownsfan,CSL-Franks-Triumph Extreme. Good moove. | |
| DAC woes - what to do Hi Lightspeed240,Interesting thread you started and I appreciate the responses. I'd strongly encourage you to hear an Audio Note and Benchmark and see what you think(you'll clearly prefer one or the other). My 2 cents, I'd definitely prefer the Au... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Brownsfan,Your point is well taken, the 101D is an intrinsically excellent tube (certainly as implemented in the Coincident design). The Shuguang version served me very well my first 4 years with this preamplifier and the Psvane hifi has been an i... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Brownsfan,I should receive my W.E. Replica 101D pair in about 2 weeks.You find them to sound superb, well that's good enough for me. Funny thing is that I'm really enjoying the lower level "hifi" series of the Psvane 101D.Charles, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Pap, I ordered a pair due to your and Drdavid's strong endorsements and considering that we all have the same Coincident line stage . Brownsfan hasn't offered an opinion yet. I always appreciate his perspectives.Charles, | |
| Which high power SET There are enough existing variables involved that a solid argument can be made for numerous opinions. Edoit's typical daily listening levels will determine so much about successful amplifier selection. We all can agree that an in home audition is ... | |
| Which high power SET Larryi,Many good points you've made as usual. I agree that no single amplifier or particular topology is perfect, they all will require some degree of compromise. The key to ultimate success and long term happiness is knowing what type of sound/pr... | |

| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Keith, Mine are the SP-SA-103 model. Talk to Robert at Star Sound, he's friendly and will guide you properly for your individual needs.Charles, | |
| Which high power SET Edoit,Atmasphere makes a good point and his reasoning is sound. However if there's any chance you can hear one of those premium SET amplifiers with the speaker, please do so. From personal experience I can say that expectations aren't always reali... | |
| Advantages of a tube CD player over an SS player? There are too many variables involved to form any stereotypical opinions. There are "colored" tube players and there are exceptionally honest and pure sounding tube players. SS players can be colored just as much, just in a different direction/cha... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers The Apprentice will not change the inherent character of your system generally speaking(Shindo and Krell won't suddenly be indistinguishable). Due to its effectiveness managing vibration and resonance you'll hear more of what you have. As I mentio... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Agear, Your Lampizator Big7 and Viva SET pairing should really be a standout.If this doesn't make you smile with joy I'll be very surprised.Charles, | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers I have Duelund CAST, High Fidelity CT1 Ultimate digital cable, Tripoint Troy and the Takatsuki 300b tubes in my system. These 4 are at the very top level in their respective categories. All four products are premium priced and rightly so, I find t... | |
| Which high power SET Edoit,That's a very nice list you have. There's a Shindo GM 70 SET available here on audiogon, surely a fine mate with your Masseto. Yes, some excellent choices to pick among. Charles, |
