| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Joe,That's understandable, my speaker is a 14 ohm load. The sound is very good with the 8 ohm tap but becomes even more dynamic,alive, engaging and dimensional when connected to the 16 ohm tap. The sense of ease and flow are increased. | |
| Anyone here tried Psvane 845TII or WE845? I can tell you this, I have heard the new WE 845 in my friend's Absolare Passion amps and right out the box they sound very good. That was a week ago, I'll hear them again later today. The standard Shuguangs he had were pretty good actually(heard ... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Joe,Curious, what is the ohm load of your speakers and are you using the 8 or the 16 ohm tap?I tried both and preferred the 16 ohm tap (each requires some breah in) this will obviously vary depending on the speakers in use.Did you audition the Dec... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Joe,I'm glad you remained patient and allowed the Frankenstein to burn-in and evolve as it naturally does. Those custom transformers really need time to open up and demonstrate what they're capable of. Your overall impression is identical to mi... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,I'm glad you were patient and gave the Psvane tubes some reasonable burn in time. Some people are too hasty in judgements and never realize the true performance of products. These tubes are likely to continue to improve. | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Esstrand,the Trenner-Friedl Pharaoh I believe is 12,500.00 currently. I heard the T.-Friedl RA Box driven by the Viva Verona at CES a few years ago and it totally outclassed the vast majority of the high power amps driving the typical moderate eff... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Esstrand,Food for thought, the Trenner-Friedl Pharaoh compares favorably to the Orangutan in both price and design objectives. | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Essrand,I wouldn`t give up the idea of using a SET so quickly. If the Devore is truly 96 db sensitive and has an easy load(said to be 8- 10 ohms) a good 300b or 845 SET amp would be quite a fine match. Just go to the dealer and ask to hear it with... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Neal,Well expressed, "naturalness" really says all that needs to be said. What higher compliment is there for an audio component than to describe it as natural. So many products can provide hifi spectacular, only the very premium components delive... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Have to agree with Jeff. Righrt out of the box the superior sound of the Psvane 845 was easily apparent. It`s very natural and sounds superb in his Absolare Passion amplifier.The previous Shuguangs he had weren`t bad at all(in fact they were good ... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Hi Spirit,I realize you weren`t asking me to answer that question. My point was simply to admit I don`t understand how it functions, only how well it delivers.For clarification Cruze FIRST Audio who sold me the Troy said RCA terminations are avail... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Hi Spirit,I believe that you can get the Tripoint grounding wires with optional RCA connections if desired. Spirit, in all candor I can`t explain how the Troy works or all that it may affect,signal,ground,filtering etc. What I can attest to is the... | |
| Entreq ground conditioners - what's the theory? Spirit,You've done a good job of bringing attention to the benefit of addressing grounding an audio system, the more awareness the better for all of us music lovers. I'd hate to see this devolve into a pissing contest between the Tripoint Troy and... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Agree with Jwm completely!He went from the very good push pull VAC Phi 300.1 mono block to his current splendid Absolare Passion Signature 845 PSET and it was an undeniable step upwards (and that's not a put down of the VAC). The SET renders more ... | |
| Horning Perikles w Frankenstein amp Markus, That's the same point I made earlier when comparing the Franks to my push pull amps(both a 100 watt and a 40 watt amp). Simply no problem with the Coincident dual woofers. The Horning may or may not be a different case(could be harder to d... |
