| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory Something`s strange here.Your speakers are quite simillar to mine(Coincident Total Eclipse 94 db)but even more sensitive at 97db, and with 14 ohm load. I get drsmatic speed,dynamics and jump factor galore with the 8 watt Coincident Frenkenstein 30... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Phaelon,Since you have both Sophia tubes, what`s different in terms of built or physical characteristics? Different metal alloys? | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Thanks Knghifi for your reply. I have one set DAC to linestage and that sure made an impact. I`ll certainly be adding more in the near future. The speaker cable does`nt show up on audiogon often it seems. | |
| audio research My experience is simillar to Thorman`s, I owned the SP-9MK2 for about 15 months(durning the mid 1990s). I found it to be rather thin. flat and electronic in character, I replaced it with a Quicksilver full function(all tube) preamp and it was a mu... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Ralph,Historically Audiofeil has frequenty praised your products and seems to hold you in high regard personally. He was very specific in stating that in the case of the Zu Definition(6 ohm load) the S-30 was`nt a ideal match, but the 30 ohm versi... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Is Ralph really that petty and sensitive? | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? Vicks7, Wow, the Tango speakers must sound really special.Which impacted your system more, the IC or the S.C.? One pair of IC in my system and it easy to notice the improvement. | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? I came across this old thread quite a while ago and the enthusiasm for the liveline impressed me. The 6 moons and the Stereo Times reviews were flat out raves.This cable stayed on my mind for the past 5 months more or less. Well I got a 1 meter pa... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The Coincident Frankenstein Mark2, 300b SET monoblock with 8 watts per channel.It`s an extraordinary sounding amplifier for high efficiency speakers.It has the least electronic-mechanical coloration I`ve ever heard, just a pure and natural tone. | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III The Ayon Spirit at that price is a prayer answered LOL. | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Neutron,You`re realistic and logical,this will serve you well. Patience is a virtrue and you`ll definitely get what you want. I`ve yet to be disappointed in audio when I follow my gut instincts. | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Neutron,I`ll admit I`m much more familliar with Audio Research gear than Ayon(formerly owned an AR preamp and have heard many AR setups over the years). Given the Ayon`s design and circuit I`d pay close attention to Reynold`s impressions. I would ... | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Kenny,Agreed, but when properly done simpler results in wonderfully pure and organic sound. Thats why with SET amps in paticular you can`t cut corners. You must utilize very good transformers and very high quality parts or it`s all a wasted effort... | |
| Help with narrowing down speaker choice Hello Kenny,I think you`re moving in the right direction for seeking a more natural sound in your system. Coincident is a great company with speakers that are made to order for SET amps. The Horning is certainly a very good option, I`d also strong... | |
| Shindo preamp with Mcintosh MC252 I agree that in terms of preamp features and flexibility the MAC has it all over the Shindo which is more a purist design. When Art Dudley reviewed the Shindo in Stereophile he prefered it to his Lamm(which he really did like alot).The main issue ... |
