| Converting an Esoteric player to 220v Llyod,I talked to a dealer about this very same issue yesterday.He sent me instructions and pic on how to do it.Its very simple (< 5mins by a novice)- open the back panel, unplug the wire from the 110V input into 220V input. No soldering, no sc... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill onhwy61, That was a good question and I was pondering upon it myself too.What cartridge would I get, if I go for the coincident.I know cartridges are a world in itself. I would just start with the most inexpensive MC cartridge that would be compat... | |

| Coincident dragon mk2 vs Cary 211FE It does well with my 89dB, 4ohm speakers. Am not sure about 87dB, but your speakers being 6ohm might be more "tube-friendly" than mine. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I talked to Israel, he says that the "line-stage" in the phono is passive (no gain), so its not a "true" linestage. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Jcharvet, do you use the Coincident Phono like a line-stage for your digital source also ?Seems it has input for CD player too, so can bypass having a line stage completely. If you do, can you please tell how good it is with acting as a Line stage... | |
| Coincident dragon mk2 vs Cary 211FE I just bought a Coincident Dragon mk2, its an unbelievable amp. If you can, just buy it, might be the last one you buy.It has power, detail, transparency.My 1K bookshelf speaker sounds like a 7k speaker. Violins have timber, bass has tightness (ev... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill onhwy61, Thanks for your pragmatic advice.My components are definitely of not the same quality.

| Has anyone owned Triode Co. products? My really long response this AM did not make to this thread. So let me try again.I own the Triode Preamp TRX-1, the CD player and the Triode DAC.All 3 are outstanding. The tube pre-amp is a no-brainer, very well built, fantastic sounding. Even has... |
