| Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage? Jacano,Yes, I agree with your point about the contribution of a stellar power supply. Another very important aspect of the Coincident electronics is the decision to utilize interstage transformers in place of signal coupling capacitors(more expens... | |
| Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage? Allchemie,I`ve read great reviews regarding your Einstein preamp. I`m very familiar with the very highly regarded VAC Renaissance Signature, have you had the opprotunity to hear it? | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Geopolitis,They`re just too many varibles involved(components,systems and listener preferences) to declare one great amp far superior to another great one it seems. It certainly appears that the Tidals can sound wonderful with very different amp d... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR I purchased the grade A versions from Grant Fidelity | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi, Sakahara, you did`nt offend me at all. I was just trying to be helpful and let you know they`re significant differences between the low cost vs high cost chinese tubes these days and that they compete with the higher quaility europeans. By the... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Sakahara,You are apparently confusing the Shuguang lower cost/quaility 300b with the more expensive(600.00 USD) ultra quality Shuguang Treasure Series(black glass). I use the black glass 300b and it`s sound is superb, I have about 1700 hours of us... | |
| Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage? Jacano,You are going to become further impressed as time goes on with the the additional hours of break in.I`ve had the Statement/Frankenstein pair for 14 months yet my appreciation continues to deepen still. These two components are world class i... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi, 6 moons did a very detailed review of the Full Music SE and the Shuguang Treasure series with many comparisons to other 300b tubes. To my knowledge the KR tubes have had some reliability issues. | |
| Isolation for Rega Apollo / Saturn? My experience with the Herbies Tall Tender feet was mixed, They made a very real improvement beneath my transport and DAC, but there was no sonic improvement when placed under my linestage and amplifiers(although these components came with standar... | |
| Are side firing woofers only for aesthetics? Mechans,My Coincident speakers are narrow profile with side mounted woofers(2x 10 inches per side).In my room they work just fine and very often totally seem to disappear. You also have the option to face the woofers out or inward depending on pre... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present Larry your response seems very informed and rational i.e. the maggie `s 4 ohm load is resistive and not reactive. Is this true for the entire line or just the smaller models? I wonder because many maggie owners seem to universally agree than you m... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners My mistake meant Ypsilon. | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Calloway,Thanks for the very kind invitation to hear your wonderful system. I had the pleasure of hearing the Tidals driven by Ysilon electronics for a good 45 -50 minutes at this year`s CES . The sound was some of the very best I heard at the sho... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Hi Calloway,Just curious as to your current impressions as your Chalice amps accumulate more time drving your Tidals. This combination is really unique compared to the common Tidal/ big SS amp approach others follow. | |
| Outstanding 300b's for Push-Pull Amp? Hi Phaelon,I beleive a SET circuit would be quite demanding and revealing of the intrinsic characteristics of the output tube. If it sounds good single end I can`t fathom why push-pull should be any different as now the tubes are working as a duo ... |
