| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory Dave,For the sake of followup after such an interesting thread, what amp did you decide to go with? | |
| Sonic impressions of Axpona 2011 Hi Agear,Thanks for the very nice show report.Using the Duke Ellington Jazz Party CD is perfectly understandable. I`ve own it for years(superb live recording) it can tell you just about everything you`d want to know about a system/component. It so... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Rocketitman,If cymbals sound better with analog in your system ,good for you and be happy. I and apparently others get wonderful music reproduction with our digital sources and are happy and content. You prefer analog that`s great, just stop tryin... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Raymonda,I agree with your reply to Rockitman regarding cymbal reproduction with digital. It must be a matter of one`s system. I`ve own both a Linn LP12 TT and a Well Tempered Classic TT(better TT than the Linn). Neither of these TTs were superior... | |
| Tubes for Shindo Aurieges L Keithr,Amen. | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Musicophile,I agree, that`s a very good description of what a truly high quality active preamp will add to improve a system`s overall sound as compared to going the direct source-amp route. | |
| Newbie: unbalanced versus XLR on DAC Great answers by Herman and Elizabeth.There`s much hype and theory, but unless you have to run very long IC cables, some of the very best sounding systems do just fine with un balanced components and IC cable. Now when it comes to Balanced AC powe... | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Jonathan,The Coincident Statement linestage is simply outstanding! Montejay is correct in his description. However if for you it comes down to either the Manley or the Audio Research, given your system and preferences I`d select the Manley preamp ... | |
| Best combination of sweetness and dynamics? Ticten, You don`t mention budget or size limitations etc. Some proven brands for example are Coincident speakers, Horning,Devore,Sonist,Zu, Tonian Labs, Tannoy etc. these are efficient and easy to drive with low to moderate power.There are many more. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-9se chaned2,No, you don`t have to go "crazy" if you mean ultra expensive amplifiers. Fortunately you can buy top quality sounding amps for reasonable money if you`re patient and do your research. If there`s one thing I`ve learned, high end performance... | |
| Soundstage, Imaging, Detail & Presence?? Hi,Larry, thanks for the kind comments and for sharing such an insightful experience you had with the late Jim Thiel.I have much respect for engineers and scientists, but when it comes to audio there`s still so much that has yet to be explained or... | |
| Hearing loss Temporary or more permanent? Good post Elizabeth. | |
| Isolation Transformer or Power Regenerator Mike lavigne`s solution although excellent is at the extreme in terms of scale and cost. Many music lovers will find this appraoch unaffordable,it may make smaller units "look" like toys but they`ll work well for many at a reasonable cost. I use a... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Jimphd14,Wig prefers the Berkeley DAC to the Ayon CD2 in his system after comparing both, why is that so hard to except? You would prefer otherwise, that`s your call to make. You seem to be personally offended. | |
| Review: Coincident Speaker Technology Statement Linestage Tube preamp The Coincident Statement Linestage is an outstanding preamp, there`s no other way to put it. Stunning sound, dynamics,transparency and pure-natural tone, just wonderful.I`ve read many rave posts regarding the TRL Dude but I`ve not heard it.They`re... |
