| Ribbon Tweeters??? I had a Coincident model with a ribbon tweeter. Really liked it and in some ways miss the airy 3d sound they put forth. They appeared to me to cover a larger frequency range them a dome tweeter IMORegards, | |
| What are your favorite SACDs and why? Hi Edorr,I am enjoying the Chick Corea discs right now as well.Picked it up on eBay at crazy low price. Before receiving it,I was doubting how the sound quality would be. I paid something like 8 bucks plus shipping for a double sacd and it was bei... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I always turn off my tube amps (never leave them on unattended). They take 20 minutes to warm up.However,I never turn off my cd player. It has been on since getting it. If it has turned off (power outage or moving equipement around) it will take a... | |
| Bass and Treble Dials The less in the signal path the purer the sound.I play some of my low gain cds with my passive linestage removed so that the cdp goes into my 300b set amps direct.The system sounds incredible and open this way.A warning however as this can be very... | |

| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory Hi Al,I would suggest getting in touch with Israel at Coincident regarding the Dragons. They are in the final developement phase of the MK II version, an over built version of the current version.In talking to Israel, he said that these new Dragon... | |
| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory I have auditioned the Coincident Statement linestage using my 8 watt Coincident 300b and achieved the results that you are looking for.Our speakers have very simular characteristics.Head room was no issue but the things of value about low powered ... | |
| CD Player break in period Hi Georgemg,I wouldn't judge the Esoteric critically until you have anywhere near 500-750 hours on it. You will be pleased but you need patience.Enjoy the process.Regards, | |
| Differences Between Esoteric SACD Players Hi Buconero,The reason I posted the link was that they cover a range of Esoteric players and explain what you gain as you move up the range. Regards, | |
| Differences Between Esoteric SACD Players The Esoterics are wonderful sacd/cd players. I have enjoyed the entry level SA-10 very much. I have also heard in my system an X03SE and a P05/D05. As you move up through the range the sound gets even better. By better I mean the weight and impact... | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in Mceljo,I duplicated the same result on my system as my friend so I don't think that would be the answer.The non shm tester they provide sounded better than the shm.Two systems with different front ends produced simular results.In regards to the 'b... | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? Using a 20k clock on a 3.5k player should help it a bit I would imagine;)Regards, | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in Hi Mcejco,It was apparent when listening to the two identical samplers.I did not load the player,so i wasn't aware of which SHM sampler was being used, but I knew which one I was hearing. The curious thing from a marketing point of view is why did... | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? I have heard the G-0Rb clock with the P01-D01.The clock improved the soundstage and instrument seperation.It is a nice but subtle improvement IMO.I am not sure the change in sound is worth the cost. I also have been told the clock benefits the sep... |
