| Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600 Hi,Groenlykke, I would ignore Roxy54`s poor analogy . His response in a audiophile cliche that places over emphasis on the speaker`s role in an audio system. Sure you can build a system around a speaker, but you can do the same just as sucessfully... | |
| Interstage Coupled SET Amplifiers Hello,I have a Coincident Frankenstein MK2 300b amplifier that is utilizing an interstage transfomer rather than a signal path capacitor. It`s fantastic, with quite a natural and pure character. The speakers are Coincident Total Eclipse(series2 ve... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Tony,The type of music and volume level preferences make a difference for sure.The 845 amp will win the grunt/rock and roll/large symphony battle, as the Frankenstein breaks in it will narrow but won`t completely close that gap. The special beauty... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Tony,The Mastersound 845 is an exceptionally good amp and of course in your case fully broken in. The 300b won`t match the power of a 845 tube. You need hours of break in for the amp and 300b treasure tubes before they reveal their wonderful capab... | |
| PASS LABS XA-30.5 vs XA-60.5 Tvad,your response regarding BAL. vs RCA is succinct and oh so right. Unless your cable run is long there`s no inherent superiority of balanced ICs. I`ve now heard many direct comparisons where RCA/single end circuit is equal or even out preforms ... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Afc,These amps are very good straight out of the box and will in time make the transition to superb reproducers of music. Remain patient my friend, you`re going to be quite pleased. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest Hello, Hifiharv, your response was very detailed and informative but now I`m curious, what 15 watt tube amp out performed a 300 watt SS amp? I don`t doubt you at all, it`s just that regarding the maggies people constantly state that you need high ... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? Hello, I find 6 MOONS to be my favorite review source. They are detailed and very comprehensive in their description of the technical frame work of a component and are quite effective in relating sonic performance character. I appreciate their wil... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Afc, Mr paul mentioned the Yamamoto 300b amp, I`ve not heard it myself but this amp has gotten universal high praise and is one you should also strongly consider. I own the Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC(SS version) in a word, divine. | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Afc,I have owned the Coincident Frankenstein amplifier for 10 mogths and it`s a wonderful state of the art component when used with the proper speaker. It has the most pure, natural and non-electronic/mechanical character of any amplifier that I`v... | |
| Class A/Triode-based preamps Atmasphere,The owner`manual says signal path follows transformer volume to an input transformer to the 101D tube for gain then to the output transformer. | |
| Dee Dee Bridgewater - To Billie With Love Jejaudio,Thanks for this recommendation, I`ll order a copy today. I`m always looking for great jazz music that`s been well recorded. | |
| Class A/Triode-based preamps Atmasphere,No doubt other factors matter it just seems that the combination of class A, DHT, transformer for interstage and volume control coupled with a large power supply gets the job done. This is the design of my Coincident Statement Linestage... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Hi, Atmasphere is right regarding ss amps with the Coincident speakers, they can/will sound good but with a quality tube amp good is elevated to a range of very good/great. I`m a long term owner of the Coincident Total Eclipse and have gotten fine... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse WestbornI have the Coincident Total Eclipse2 and have used very good push-pull amps with very good results. However the Frankenstein MK 2 300b SET amps are in my opinion on a higher plane and sound superior to any PP amp I`ve heard thus far. Don`t... |
