| Solid state DAC under 12K retail preferably with ethernet @audioengr Oh yes, ODSX not ODSE.And to answer your question: I only care about audio quality.@c1ferrari I don't care about DSD. Most of my music is CD quality.Perhaps I shouldn't care about ethernet for now, since most DACs don't have it yet and ... | |
| Shindo Masseto + Coincident Frankenstein versus Nagra 300i integrated Jond,My current system NEEDS a pre-amp, my AMR is serving as a preamp right now, and I find it inadequate, which is what is wrong with it. I have been saving up for getting a good one, and the only preamp I have loved has been a Shindo.rcprince,I ... | |
| Exotic vocal Think this was asked before in the thread, but what do you guys mean by "exotic"? Does it mean not mainstream, or not common, or not white, or not western, or third-world, or "ethnic" ? Or all of the above or is it that it makes you feel that the ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? LP, Thank you for the detailed report of your experience witht "the truth". I am placing an order for one, and will report over this thread how it goes. | |
| Power cords for Coincident Frankenstein and AMR DP-777 <100$ In principle I agree with you guys. Sadly expensive power cords will have to wait their turn. The current queue for my system is:Preamp (Duh! looking for used Shindo)better 300b tubes (right now I have Shuguang black treasure)I got excited about p... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? @knownothing I just use a generic USB cable for now.I tested a 200$ USB cable (audioquest) I think, against a generic one and couldn't tell the difference (or it wasn't enough for me to spend $200). I didn't investigate into other USB cables that ... | |
| CD Transport for a reasonable price (pref under $500) Oh nice! Thanks, btw do you have any experience with it. | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? I am not very interested in DSD so DP777 works fine for me.if the new version has one chip instead of two it seems like a step backward as this was one of the best ideas of the Amr dac. Not tested this but I believe this dac does its best magic on... | |
| Tube integrated with real bass. Does it exist? Coincident dragon monoblocks . (Almost) Purity of SET with great bass. Lot of set enthusiasts also use this as a bass amplifier . | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Hi Charles,Yes it did. It just felt so right and was the missing piece in my audiophile search.The CSL I was surprised didn't do it for me, despite the high praise garnered for it on this forum. Maybe tube rolling might have helped but not sure. I... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Hi Jazzonhudson,Yes I stuck with the DP777.It's fantastic. It really came on its own after a 1000 hour or two burnin.I might try your recommendations about fuses etc. at some point but for now am happy.George, yes the preamp on dp777 is quite stun... | |
| DAC/Preamp with Balanced Outputs $2500 new/used AMR DP-777 would be the way to go! Used though. It ended my DAC search. | |
| what speaker new or used for 5k? I used to own vienna acoustics mozart grand. And then moved to Verity Audio Parsifal Encore (runs into slightly more 5K) which lost the decongestion and better bass and topend.Then I moved to Devore Orangutan (wanting to move to SET amps).Dunno if... | |

| Review: COINCIDENT STATEMENT PHONO STAGE Tube preamp I heard that you need to tube roll this unit (the stock tubes aren't great). I used to own this pre-amp and didn't tube roll before selling it, maybe you can avoid the mistake I made. |
