| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp I asked Israel Blume that very question when I spoke with him at the RMAF last month. He said there`s minimal difference in sound quality and thought they were essentially interchangeable. Any other op[nions? | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Isochronism, Very nice amps you have choosen.What`s the diffeference between the Triton and Cardinal series given they`re both 300b amplifiers?Best Regards, | |
| Help Me Save A Few Bucks On New Amp Purchase Casperd,I agree, whuch is why if improved SQ is the objective the XA30.5(high current design) is better than chasing excessive watts. Of course this topic of quality vs quantity never ends. There are many previous threads on audiogon. | |
| Help Me Save A Few Bucks On New Amp Purchase Eniac26,You enjoy the Pass Lab sound but want to improve sound quality. I believe that move to the XA30.5 would be an excellent choice it provides 30W/8 ohm and 60W/4 ohms all class A.With 90db efficiency you don`t really need as much power as you... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hi,Abill, you are experiencing ultra 300b heaven LOL.Personal taste will always rule(but you have it covered it seems). What`s the difference between the new Triton Century and the Cardinal 300b series?Is your Triton the Signature version?The tube... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hfisher3380,I think the Statement Linestage gets a bit more praise due to it being such an universal component(can place in any system). The Franks are of course limited by speaker matching, thus not as flexible/universal.All the atributes you`ve ... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hfisher3380,Yes, the Franks are good brand new out the box.In terms of final-ultimate performance you are at only roughly 80% currently, you will gain another 20% in S.Q. improvement by 300-400 hour range(I`m not engaging in hyperbole at all, this... | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Hello,Pehare, I`ve had zero reliability issues with either the amplifier or the Treasure tubes. This is with very heavy-frequent use.Good Luck, | |

| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Kevinmed, Arthur Salvatore(High End-Audio,com) once wrote that the Wavelength Cardinal was perhaps one of the "very best" 300b SET amps he`d ever heard. He states that the Coincident Frankenstein is simply the best amp he`s ever personally heard w... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? 11flat6,That effortless quality you refer to is priceless. When your system is capable of reproducing(retaining?) the ease and natural flow of music it`s indeed a wonderful achievement(and hard to live without once found).At the RMAF this year I h... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Trelja,Like I said, preferences are what they are.It`s not important enough for me to debate about something as relatively trivial as the "better" DHT output tube.There`s no objective "test". Come on now, it`s just subjective, nothing more or less... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Hi 11flat6,Just curious, which amp sounds more like live music the Lamm or the Kondo ? | |
| Any expereince with Coincident Frankenstein II Amp Congratulations!After over 2 years of ownership this superb amp still surprises me with sublime music reproduction(I use the Shuguang Treasure 300b).You`ll enjoy this amplifier for many happy years.Best Regards, | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Dpe,Astute observations.I would encourage you to try OTL and other amps with your Hornings .Your Thoress may best them all if your priority is realistic, natural and full sound.I visit local jazz clubs fairly often and acoustic instruments heard l... |
