| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hey Al, Doesn't the Coincident have a built-in SUT, and is there not the possibility to bypass the SUT, if you have an MM? I guess not, based on what you wrote. I am quite surprised. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Charles, I don't disagree with the "go for it" philosophy. I only advocate careful decision-making, and THEN go for it. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I have refrained from commenting on the cost, but let's keep in mind that Coincident sells direct, not through dealers. Therefore, Coincident can sell any of its products for any price that Israel Blume deems to be acceptable, regardless of the "l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Clearly, I either have lost typing skill or my grammar is going to Hell. I hope it's the former. The "the" before vdH is not needed. "to" should be "too". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I always heard the vdH gets his styli from Expert in the UK. Ultimately, they probably all come from the Orient. Not to many companies making styli, and if you gear up to make them, you can probably make millions of them.What is unique about... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I kind of like an active linestage, myself.I think the OP has one, but I am not sure it is up to the level of excellence of the Statement. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Those are two superb choices and it would simply be a matter of one's opinion. But it would be best to form an opinion after prolonged audition in one's own system. Nothing else counts. | |
| First tt: SP10/Black Widow/Mico Acoustics QDC-1e Not familiar with that cartridge, but you've got a fine rig. Enjoy. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Most CDPs without a volume control will need some form of external attenuation, be it the passive control on something like the Statement or a stand-alone passive attenuator, or an active control on a conventional linestage.They typically output 2... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Sorry, Charles. I was not thinking about the match between the phono stage and the amplifier. I was thinking about the impedance match between an outboard high level source, such as a CDP, and the volume control. With a minimum of thought and info... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Sorry for being pedantic, but "passive" and "no gain" can mean two different things. But it's probably truly passive, just a volume control, which means one must take care about matching impedances. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I would ask Israel Blume, does his phono stage have a true "linestage" built in, or do the aux inputs simply interpose the volume control between the CDP or other high level source and the amplifier. There is an important difference, if the linest... | |
| VTA and SRA? 1-2 degrees, not 20 degrees. | |
| What Sets Price on Turntables? Isaac is probably out with your old girlfriend. Sold his audio system. | |
| VTA and SRA? Here we go again.And I was no fan of Ronald Reagan. |
