| Coincident vs Lamm Hi Markus,I have much admiration for Lamm and their earned accolades and logic would suggest that a 37K amplifier should be clearly superior to a 6K amplifier. That may turn out to be the case. In High End audio there are exceptions to expectation... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Jordan,Pretty much +1 Brownsfan's description. Out of the box Ithought mild but noticeable improvement over the Shuguang but no brightness issues. 30-40 hours I knew these were clearly better tubes and it just continued to improve over the foll... | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Jeff,Good points, sometimes there's no simple answer. | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Insurance would presumably cover any potential shipping damages. Ideally the Lamms need to be heard in Makus' s system and compared to his current amplifier. You just never know until you hear a component with your own ears.Charles, | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Hi Markus,I see your dilemma, it may still be worth your time to travel and at least hear these acclaimed amplifiers If you can't get them in your system. Brf's suggestion is good, only problem is you'd have to sell your Frankenstein to swing the ... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? Hi Al, How ironic given the article author's premise, that in fact digital can round the square wave more than a cartridge in some cases. This is opposite of his explanation. Thanks for your input.Charles, | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Bill,I've heard the Lamm ML 3 driving the big Wilsons on 3 occasions and the combination was very impressive. I'll assume a family sound with their ML2.2 amplifier. Just as impressive if not more was hearing the Viva Aurora driving the Trenner Fri... | |
| Coincident vs Lamm No amplifier is in a class of its own ( hyperbole )even though it may be fantastic. Owners of Audion, Tron, Absolare, Zanden, Kondo, Wavelength etc. Could legitimately claim the same.I accept that there are truly wonderful SET choices in the marke... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? Steve,I agree with your list of the four requirements for excellent digital sound. Get these parameters right and you'll have very natural sound, if these aren't addressed properly the sound suffers. I/V conversion and power supply execution aren'... | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Hi Brf,Let me know what you think of the highly thought of Wyetech Ruby, you can post on my system thread if you'd like. I've heard the Lamm ML3 several times but haven't heard the ML2.2 amp.Charles, | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Hi Dkarmeli,Transparency and nuance are a Frankenstein strength, but Markus owns this amp and knows its attributes. You and I know listening to both and comparing is the best, otherwise opinions can be traded endlessly. Charles, | |
| Coincident vs Lamm Brf,Did you hear the Lamm with your Total Eclipse and have you had a chance to hear the Frankenstein MK II?Thanks, | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? Interesting perspective but there's one problem. There are digital sources that sound pleasingly naturally round and conversely there are some analog sources that can sound edgy, hard and sharpe (cartridge choice? ). There's definitely overlap inv... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Pap,That's the thing with high caliber SS preamps even the ultra expensive ones like the Soulution, they just cannot provide the same level of natural sound and organic liveliness. As far as I'm concerned the CSL has exceptional bass and speed ... | |
| Coincident vs Lamm I agree, if possible try the Lamm SET in your system and listen. The Lamm is 6x the cost retail of the Frankenstein and has more power. As you already know personally the Franks are superb but many people feel the same about the Lamm as well. You'... |
