Atma-Sphere M60 Mk11.3 vs Audio Valve Baldur 70 W
I have not heard the Audio Valve.I did have the Coincident 300b Mono Blocks. They are a very good SET. As good as they where, the M60's are (for my ears) incredible.I have the amps paired with the Coincident Total Victory speaker. The speakers are... 
Has anyone listened to the Kharma midi references
Bigbear, what type of music do you listen to?.I was recently in Montreal visiting the Tenor factory. They had both the Kharma Midi Grand (diamond tweeter), and a pair of single driver Lamhorn 1.8 (AER mkII driver). Everyone in the rooom preferred ... 
Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's
I will second the Coincident Total Victory II. I agree with the comments made by Gliderguider. 
Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo
The final nod went to the Atma Sphere M60 mk.ll.2 (with all three of their upgrades). We all have different needs as far as our listening priorities. This amp was my favorite of all I have listened to. The only other amp I would now like to bring ... 
Best Component Ever, for the money
There used to be a phono only pre-amp with a volume control. It was called the 'Super-It'. My first taste of true highend audio. 
Please share views on Coincident MP 300B.
I have been using the Sylvania Crome Dome's and Rca's. I got the Rca's from www.Vintagetubeservices.com.The point I would like to make is this. V4 is the driver tube. I didn't think this spot was that important, so I was using their supplied tube ... 
EMM Transport V. Meitner Phillip Transport
I agree with Jtinn, the Phillip's was a means to an end.My Phillips no longer plays SACD, something to do with the chip. EMM Labs can not repair this particular chip, and Phillips is not sending replacements. Yes redbook still sounds amazing as do... 
Please share views on Coincident MP 300B.
I have now done a bit of tube rolling, and I think I have it.There is a synergy between the M60's and the Total's. The Total's may have a high back EMF, so the output impedence of the M60's is a good combo.I think I can critique cables, tubes, and... 
should everyone just order emm?
I can't wait for the day we simply put on a neural cap and have the music fed hardwired style to our brains. Huh!.Honestly, let me try to describe my EMM experiment.First my Philips was modified by EMM Labs in Calgary. I definitely liked the sound...

No one has answered your blue laser question yet. I will try, but please read this with a grain of salt. A lot of salt.Blue lasers will be used to improve DVD's, not necessarily CD or SACD. DVD's right now do not compare well to an HDTV digital TV... 
Please share views on Coincident MP 300B.
I have now sold my MP 300B, and I miss it already. It was great with the KR300b's, excellent bass, nice highs, and lush in the mids. I preferred the KR to the Sophia tubes.I now have an Atma-Sphere M60. It does some things better, like more transp... 
Aria owners? Mike Elliot's new company
A quick note regarding the B&W's.First; I agree with the statement regarding Krell and B&W, great HiFi, lousy musicality, IMO. Last year I went looking for new speakers, auditioned dozens, I listened to the B&W's, but they never convin... 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
I guess I better start saving up my pennies. A 340 with two arm boards may be the ticket.Do we know what a 345 is yet?, there have been some talk of it on the Teres Forum, but nothing concrete.Will this make my EMM Labs stuff obsolete?. 
ARC vs Atma-Sphere and ARC vs VTL Amplifiers
If you do go with the A-S MA-1's remember their upgrades, spend a little more now to get their very best. 
Tenor or Lamm hybrids for alternative rock ?
I agree with tfl303, pay special attention to the front end, it is just as important as the rest of the system. You can't go wrong with either of your choices, its like choosing between two exquisitly beautiful woman, whichever one you pick, that ...
