| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 Recently went from Audyn True Copper Max and Miflex KPCU to Duelund Cast tinned copper in custom build 300B's. Wow, Cast relegates all other audiophile film caps I've tried to distant second place! Yes, thanks to good advice from grannyring ... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 @sns I had given thought 6 or 7 years ago to getting an adapter and trying vintage Western Electric 101Ds. They were/are relatively rare and expensive. I was very happy with the Psvane W.E. Replica 101D and decided to stay put. If you do go that... | |
| New Project RS2T transport I’m not surprised that a good quality DC umbilical cable would have an impact. Virtually every item in an audio system seems to matter in some degree or another. I use a custom made PC-OCC umbilical cable and I am pretty confident that it makes a ... | |
| Aurender N200 @blisshifi Regarding some not being able to discern streamer quality, I usually boil it down to the fact that those people’s systems are not resolving enough (like putting a $9K phono cartridge on a $1000 turntable / tonearm), they aren’t the c... | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 DHT pre’s really special, natural synergy with SET amps, all the wonderful aspects of these circuits and tubes are holistic with DHT in both pre and amps. My take is why diminish those special aspects with different topology in pre Well said, a... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Just for clarification. The Fidelizer LPS that’s been under discussion here is the “Nikola II” to distinguish from the regular “Nikola”. The former is upgraded with higher grade internal wiring, larger capacity toroidal transformer, better Mund... | |
| streamer need........... I have not heard the Grimm MU 1. It has developed quite an impressive word of mouth reputation from those familiar with it. Seems to be a legitimate contender in the upper tier of music servers/streamers. Charles | |
| Silver Speaker Cables @raindog911 @mulveling Appreaciate the actual personal experience insight. @jayctoy The Lavricables are made in Latvia. They are very responsive via email communication and ship with DHL. Charles | |
| Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2 I'm feeling the pull of obtaining the Coincident Statement line stage I don’t believe that this is a decision you’d subsequently regret. If the objective is superb sound quality this is unquestionably one way to achieve it. Charles | |
| streamer need........... I found a disappointinly small improvement going from a good $500 streamer to an excellent $4500 streamer. Not sure there is much to be had going up from there I respect and appreciate this is your outcome. It does fly counter to what many ex... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl Yes. The Aurender sounds better, absolutely It sounded good via USB but via coax with the Aurender as the clock it is markedly better. More weight , shimmer in the upper registers I swear I could hear the brass of a cymbal crash... | |
| Aurender N200 @oddiofyl Very good news!! The Aurender N200 streamer and Lab 12 Reference DAC surely sound lovely together, I'm sure. Seems the N 200 is a true step up from the Bluenode streamer. Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @firstgrowth I can understand your frustration with yet another delay with shipment. If Pro-Ject is addressing QC issues then good for them. Although I can unequivocally say that the RS2T and Fidelizer are a really good pairing, there are other ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing If you get musical satisfaction with Class D at the $1000 price point, great; if someone else gets Class D musical satisfaction at $3000, $5000 or whatever, great. There’s no right or wrong in that. Likewise, everyone is entitled to their own ass... | |
| New Project RS2T transport Robert, I believe that your Steelers have a chance to start the season 3-0 despite the loss of Watt. N.E. and the Browns are beatable. Regarding the LPS I'd stick with the 20v/3 amp unless Pro-Ject says there's absolutely no problem doing otherwis... |
