Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
Hi Charles,Yes that is me. The Soulution 710 was on loan from a friend and we did get to compare the CSLS to the Soulution 720 preamplifier a couple of weeks ago in his system in the presence of a group of hifi tragics like myself. Of the people w...

I can't wait for you guys to try them out. I have an Aussie friend In Guangzhou who will be getting 2 more pairs for CSLS owners in Perth, Western Australia ( the CSLS is catching on over here). Apparently the next batch of tubes will be completed...

CharlesI can assure you the WE Replicas are far more than "modestly " better than the Hifi series. They have more extended highs and lows with more detail retrieval and much better tonality and timbre. Bass is heaps better than the HIFI series as ...

CharlesNo worries mate. A couple of guys here in Western Australia also have CSLS and are trying to secure the new tubes through a contact in China. ( there is no going back once you have heard them in your system!). Hopefully the usual sources wi...

I missed a couple of questions before- sorry about that. I was at the Guangzhou hifi show and they were selling them there. Btw, Full Music also were showcasing their new giant 211 and 845 tubes. Very impressive looks and sound. Also other 101d's ...

The WE 1:1 replicas are smoother sounding than both the Shuguang and Psvane regular 101D's. Yet they resolve more detail, have better dynamics and bass which I think takes the CSLS to a new level. They also come in the best case I have seen tubes ...

Charles,There are two types of PSvane 101D. The 1:1 WE replica has only just been released in China and is currently not available elsewhere as far as I know. The other type which some people also like has been around for a little while, but is no...

Just thought i would let you know that i have installed a pair of new WE Replica 101D tubes onto the CSLS. They are made by PSvane and are available in China only at the moment. I bought a pair while at the Guangzhou hifi show . They are available... 
Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
I have taken the plunge and bought the CSLS. Coincident have the same price world wide ( delivered to Australia) and that was very much appreciated. It has replaced my Supratek Cabernet Dual and I have to say I agree with all that has been said ab... 
Bi-amp NAD M15/M25
I have just come across this thread. The answer is yes, you can Bi-amp the fronts with spare channels. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Its worth the risk IMO. Firstly, the depreciation on a vintage TT is way, way less than on a new belt drive TT. You also get a piece of history as well as a functional HiFi component .Going through life in fear of something breaking down is no way... 
New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?
I have the Vinyl Flat record flattener and love it. Its all to easy to get the records dead flat. The product is very well made and thought out.I think the instructions err on the side of caution as I have also experimented with not so valuable re... 
Accuphase DP-77 or DCS P8i?
I only just saw your response . It is no surprise about the digital volume. Apart from the resolution issue, I think a good pre-amp will usually do more good than harm to the overall sound.Take a look at the Q & A with Accuphase engineers in t... 
Accuphase DP-77 or DCS P8i?
I have the Accuphase DP-77 and it is a superb machine. The Accuphase also has a digital volume control but you should be aware that any cd player attenuating the digital signal in this way causes a drop in resolution. I have found the Accuphase to... 
Should I bi amp my NAD M25 to PMC FB-1+?
Yes!! You will definitely hear the difference through in both clarity and depth. You did not mention the type of processor or receiver that you are using but assuming it has only one output per channel you will need to use good quality "Y" connect...
