| Modifying a Coincident Dynamo Mk1 @neverlast Why didn't you post a photo of the current amp instead of the unmodded version? What I did do was use a pair of Mundor Supreme caps [etc.] | |
| Small footprint subwoofer The REL R218 is for home theater. For your stated needs, you need 2 x REL T5x subs. Stereo pair is so much better. | |
| A budget turntable exploration @simao You might also consider a SpinClean to remove those teenage fingerprints. | |
| Help me build out my first system I use a single run of 8AWG on a 20amp breaker to a L15-30R. A L15-30P with 8 gauge feeds a 4 gang box of 20 amp receptacles. What I do like is derating the line, such as using 8AWG wire for a 20A circuit with a 20A breaker. | |
| Isolation devices- to use 3 or 4 footers? More effective, or sounds better? I find 3 sounds better on my Garrard 401 tables. | |
| Modifying a Coincident Dynamo Mk1 I do not have a Coincident amp but have worked on other tube amps. I would leave the rectifier caps alone. You could double the reservoir cap by adding another in parallel. Check with Israel to make sure it won’t impact the choke rating (unlikely)... | |
| A budget turntable exploration Great stuff. I would counsel you, if I may, not to oversell the setup lest they assume this is what the best turntable hi-fi sounds like. Most of the kids will have no clue and no baseline reference. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? Not intentionally. | |

| Enjoying "Affordable" Equipment Great system which will facilitate upgrading to a 1200G and better cartridge. | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites Vangelis - L’apocalypse des animaux Various/Roger Waters – When The Wind Blows | |
| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites @danager +1 one of my favorite albums. Mostly unknown and unappreciated. One from the heart by Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle | |
| speakers and cables Use the speakon cable to connect the amplifier to the high level inputs on subs. Wire the red and yellow wires to the positive speaker post and the black wire to the negative post. Repeat for the other channel. | |
| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. @deep_333 bdp24 already addressed this question on 12/23 in one of the posts you cite. The now-deleted post was from @vonhelmholtz, asking "Are you a dealer, or a representative of ET?" No offense taken, that’s a fair question. The answer is n... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Yes, and Live Herald is just fantastic. "L" by Steve Hillage. And still souds nice. From 1976. |
