| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @soix The Vogue Audio power cable plug is OFC pure copper with either gold or rhodium plating, That’s pretty good. I don’t know at what point enough # of Ns is sufficient (4,5, 7 N silver) and then it’s just marketing babble. 11 gauge OCC silver... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @soix If this cable is as good as the Lavricables in my system, I’ll be very happy. Lavricables on my amplifiers, line stage and CD transport external power supply, wonderful! Charles | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables @rockrider I had been using very good lower gauge copper power cables with my 300b SET mono blocks the past 13 years quite happily. The Lavricables Grand power cables are an improvement sonically across the board.I’m exceptionally pleased with t... | |
| Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables I will try their 20-amp version power cable for my 1800VA balanced AC isolation transformer. Very attractive pricing for what seems a high-quality product. My Lavricable Grand power cables are terrific, but they did not recommend them for this spe... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm In my last post I said I had "calibrated" my ears by going to a concert given by a small orchestra in an appropriately small performance space. I had missed concert going during the Covid period. When I go to a concert like this I can’t h... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO @sns I know what you mean. Coincident does not do model changes or update models often. It was roughly 10 years between my original MK II Frankensteins and MK I Statement Line stage received updates. 13 years later and my early models are soundi... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO Amplifiers Frankenstein 300B Stereo Amplifier Coincident is excited to introduce the newest addition to our series of power amplifiers - the Frankenstein 300B Stereo Amplifier. The Frankenstein 300B Stereo amplifier is th... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO WTF with $2500 retail price? Yes, this is a new amplifier in the Coincident line. Stereo rather than mono block Frankensteins. The stereo version is using the 6SL7 as driver tubes, 6EM 7 is used as driver in the mono blocks. Not sure how long t... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO Likely, I will purchase the Frankie monos next month and compare them to Gordon's Wavelength Tritons I look forward to your listening impressions. Two excellent 300b amplifiers, could not choose wrong with either one in my opinion. Charles | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO @paul_lindemann Good move and congratulations!! I have been singing the praises of the Frankensteins mono blocks (And its sibling the Statement Line stage) since I purchased them new from Israel Blume 13 years ago. Both are superb and I underst... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations for Pass X260.8 monos @aorigoni If you are shopping in the price range of the ARC REF 6SE and Nagra, I would at least look at/consider the Thomas Mayer 10Y line stage. Two versions, copper and silver. These are bespoke ultra-quality German made components that are sa... | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @rodman99999 👍 Charles | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @tump350 The silver wires did not come off as bright in my system, but rather deepened the various harmonic resonances around each note and instrument (what I believe you guys call "bloom"), deepened the sound stage and sharpened the imaging of... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 @sns Statement pre not near it’s potential with stock 101D tubes, no color, low level of transparency, resolution, I’d not think much of it in that configuration. An analog to it would be like comparing run of the mill Shuguang 300B vs any of t... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl You have been on quite the successful acquisition roll.The Lab 12 DAC, the Toolshed 300b SET and now the Aurender N200. 😊 Charles |
