| Coincident Statement RC Preamp Bill,When I mentioned the pervasive Hifi sound heard in many rooms at CES the Zesto room is excluded from that list. Their electronics driving the TAD speakers were natural with believable music reproduction. Charles, | |
| Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp No way would there be any concern for damge, I wouldn't worry about this at all.Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Jordan ,Oh yes my beautiful Carmen! Your wife has excellent taste if I do say so.I always suspected that the Valvet was a very good amp based on its simple class A circuit. Alas, I don't think anything will pull me away from the land of SET. I'... | |
| Coincident Statement RC Preamp Bill,Pap summed up the CSL attributes very well. Despite hearing many quite expensive audio systems for 3 full days at CES last month I couldn't wait to get home and hear my CSL-Frankenstein combo. I just prefer natural vs the ultra Hifi sound pre... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Israel Blume has ordered the W.E.101D Replica for use in the CSL so they have his blessing apparently. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,The best 845 tube I've heard so far has been the Psvane W.E. Replica series. My friend has a Absolsare Passion Signature PSET 845 amplifier, this tube outperformed his NOS RCA and Shuguang tubes. Hard to say what the results would be in you... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit, Sorry I misunderstood the context of your question. I don't believe you can substitute the 845 with a 211 or any other tube in your Black Shadow. Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit,This hobby is such a personal undertaking that really it's just what you like best. What's too warm for Keith could be ideal for you or I. We all have different acoustic environments to live with which further alter our perceptions and choi... | |
| why dsd Davt,Once you truly enjoy listening to your system it's time to just relax and appreciate what you have. | |
| Coincident Statement RC Preamp By all accounts the Coincident Phono is SOTA via several professional reviews and word of mouth. Another highly praised Phono stage is the Zesto Audio. I heard it at CES last month and the room's sound was very good. Charles, | |
| Monitors for SET 300b amps A few suggestions,Reference 3A MM Decapo.Coincident Triumph Extreme II.Tonian Labs TL-D1.These have a good reputation for working well with lower power SET amplifiers. | |
| Ken Shindo has passed I've never heard his components but they seemed the type that I'd probably enjoy and appreciate greatly. By all accounts he was a man of enormous talent and as a result has made legions of music lovers happy the world over. Charles, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Rachel,Thanks for the update on the much anticipated Psvane W.E. 101D . The pin type for the CSL is long with 2 thick and 2 thinner pins like the 300b. Rachel have the factory take their time and do a good job, we want the best quality available. ... | |
| Coincident Statement RC Preamp Hi Pops,I didn't find it hard to pull away from the "big box companies" all you have to do is listen. Big or small unknown company, I'll just trust what I hear and go with it. Charles, | |
| Coincident Statement RC Preamp Brownsfan,Thanks, With Pap's vivid description of those tubes installed in the CSL I hope we both can avoid falling over the edge of unfettered bliss.Charles, |
