| Class A/Triode-based preamps HiBigKidz your observations are spot on in my opinion regarding the absence of signal path capcitors. In my own experience it seems that designs that use DHT and an interstage transfomer in place of a capacitor do seem in general to be more pure a... | |
| Shuguang black treasure 2a3-z... HiI agree with you , I`m using the 300b version of the treasure series and it`s a wonderful sounding tube. The musical flow and realism is quite special. There`s a current review of this tube on the 6 moons site. I`ve had mine for 9 months and cou... | |
| Harbeth or Coincident Chef13Both systems would work well but given your music taste I think you would be thrilled with the 300b/coincident pairing. This combination will sound very natural,organic and with wonderful timbre,dynamics and an exceptionally open and live so... | |
| Kondo KSL speaker cable how do they sound? StewartrYour quite eloquent post hit the bullseye directly on what I`m trying to achieve. A pure,natural and honest musical presentation without the typical and cliched hifi sonic artifacts that ultimately lead one away rather than toward the musi... | |
| Kondo KSL speaker cable how do they sound? 11 flat6Thanks for your response. Regarding the KSL speaker cable how wide is the performance gap between the silver and copper given the large price difference? based on your input I`d accept a bit less ultra resolution for the gain in the muscic... | |
| 2A3 Set power amp 2a3 SET amplifiers will usally give you 4 to 5 watts/channel. A 45 SET is in the2 watt range. Still you`re asking too much of your amp to drive this speaker. You should consider speakers with at least 97db minimum and thats assuming the amp has qu... | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? Knghifi,My results are the same as yours.I use a BPT 3.5 Signature which uses a balanced transformer as does your EquiTech. These units are high power capacity-high current models that can handle power amp demands. Many power conditioners are too ... | |
| Coincident Total Eclipse - replace with what? SM2727Some listeners who have heard the newer spearker line with the ribbon tweeters say they prefer the sound of the Total Eclipse with the scanspeak(revelator soft dome). Have you heard any of the ribbon models under any conditions yet? | |
| Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love? Hi LA45After about 8 weeks my Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC arrived today, well packed and in flawless condition. Right out of the FEDX box it really sounds very good! I may be in for quite a treat once it`s fully burned in. Flash impressions after only a f... | |
| Amp or blocks for Total Eclipse Fotophred,One point I forgot to mention in my ealier post is that I a have a push-pull amplifier. I`ts the very fine Bella Extreme 100 monoblocks (V-cap version) by Response Audio. This amp is conservatively rated at 100 watt pentode/ 60watts trio... | |
| Amp or blocks for Total Eclipse I have total eclipse 11 version and with the 8 watt Coincident Frankenstein MK2 amps drive them effortlessly and with projection of sound into a 14x26 feet room at moderate to loud volumes. These speakers are quite an easy load. SET amplifiers wit... | |
| Enough SET Power for Rock and Roll I also use the Coincident Frankenstein MK2 amplifier and their 8 watts per channel(300b) will be surplus power for your needs. My room is 14x26x8 feet and opens into an ajoining 17x 24 room. My speakers are 94db efficient, yet if desired the amp c... | |
| Which purchase tipped you into nirvana. The Coincident Frankenstein MK2 SET amplifier, the longer I`ve had them the more I appreciate their wonderful ability to present music with out any sense of mechanical/electronic artifact. | |
