Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2
@kennyc When do you expect to receive the Frankensteins and Volti speakers? I can imagine that your current Constellation preamplifier should pair very well with the Frankensteins. They are both quite high quality audio components. Some transist... 
Aurender N200
@oddiofyl   Congratulations  on receiving the Aurender. I hope that you get the connection issue sorted out. At this early stage, are there sound quality differences between it and the Blue Node? Charles

Well, if that's how he feels and perceives things, we have little in common with regard to audio matters. We'll just go our separate ways. Charles

FYI- per Coincedent the upgrade from Frankenstein mk2 to mk4 is $1.5 I believe that you'll be very pleased with the Frankensteins driving your Volti speakers. Charles

@thyname  I don't know cakyol. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and respect their comments/experiences no matter if similar or dissimilar to my own. Now if I begin to realize that one is simply trolling for attention/disruption, I'... 
New Project RS2T transport
Ha! Robert I'm a Hugh NFL fan, so understood😀 A mighty test for the Chargers tonight as the Chiefs looked highly impressive last week..   Yes, I ordered from the Fidelizer website. Charles

@kennyc I agree 100% with @sns and his description of the Coincident Statement line stage (CSL). As he noted, very transparent sound presentation but is in no way analytical or clinical, just open and pure sounding. The 101D tubes preserve the t... 
$5K DAC OPTIONS
@lordrootman  Based on this forum's responses/feedback many are very happy with the Musetec 005 and the Denafrips Terminator DACs. Another DAC that is quite highly regarded in this price range is the Merason DAC 1 from Switzerland. It receives mu... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Agree with @jjss49 and ​​​​@grannyring . Ralph is right that many do make class D "amplification" synonymous with digital and they are not. Charles  
New Project RS2T transport
@robshaw  i do not know the exact size either. Fidelizer and LTA have built enough LPS for the RS2T and both know what is needed (20 volt/3 amps) and plug size to complete a proper job. At the very least I can say you'll be in good hand with eith... 
Silver Speaker Cables
@cakyol  Basically, NO DIFFERENCE. Others who claim otherwise need to see audiologists as usual is the case in this forum. If that’s been your personal listening experience, then so be it. It’s quite a contrast from mine. Very easily heard ... 
Accuphase dac 60
What is your opinion on the link to the ps audio stellar gain dac? I really just use the xlr because I had two sets of the kimber hero in my system for so long. I have nothing against the rca hookup at all. There seems more emphasis on its prea... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@pstores  You should continue to post your thoughts and listening impressions as you experience them. This is an open audio topic forum and most folks come here to learn, share and discover. When you come across an excellent sounding product, you... 
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
@soix  I knew I’d regret saying something.  My bad.  You have keen instincts. Trust them. Charles  
Silver Speaker Cables
@mulveling  It’s not that copper sounds bad, but silver gives more lifelike detail. That, for 2K - 4K in used deals, was well worth it to me - the next level up in components is not going to be achievable for that little extra amount. This mir...
