| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Charles, I'll give Israel a call mine look like 1.6 amp, but it's hard to make out. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Charles,If you mean main differences in sound, the two amps don't sound vastly different. The First Watt is Class A single- ended using Jfet output transistors, which is a pretty rare bird. The amp circuit acts somewhat like a tube amp. The amp... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps My speakers are 16 ohms. I'm using the 16 ohm taps. I first ordered the Decware, but cancelled the order for the Franks. People who have them love them, personally I haven't heard them. FYIDecware is coming out with a Torii IV. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Update: I have around 150 hours on the amps and they are sounding much better! They opened up nicely with a refined natural tonal balance, good separation and layered depth. Bass is tuneful and goes pretty deep, very good for a SET amp. The midran... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Yes, it is a gorgeous tube when lit. Thanks for the heads up!If I'm ever ready to purchase, I'll make sure it's compatible in my amps. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Yeah, those EML rectifiers sure look pretty. Maybe somebody on the forum will let us know how they sound.Joe | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Ok, with more hours logged in the amp is starting to open up nicely! First off they drive the speakers with plenty of power. They are dynamic, fast, transparent, and extended at both ends. No warm fuzzy rolled of sound here. Tonal balance is very ... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps I'll be patient, Charles. No knee jerk reactions, just giving my first thoughts.The amp is very quiet and the sound is grain free,which is a good think.After all these years I know it will get better, just wanted to know how much better. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps I received my Franks to other day. I have around 15 hours on them the sound is pretty good. How many hours before it fully opens up? Hopefully, the soundstage will expand both in width and layered depth and the sound will really flesh out, as of n... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I also heard that the Stillpoints make a big difference. Unfortunately with my Druid V's the loading would be to high. I should be getting my Coincident Frankenstein amps in a couple days. Thanks to Charles and others on this site for telling me ... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Thanks Charles for all your input! My first tube purchase will probably be the EML's. Where did you get that price? The price I've seen is $720. Once I have some time on the amps and extra money put on the side, I'll spring for the takatsuki's.Tha... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Charles, Does the EML render vocals with lifelike presence? I went ahead and just ordered the Frank's without hearing them, but from all the feedback and fellow audiophile opinions I'm sure I'll love them. Thanks, looking forward to receiving t... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Has anybody heard the new psvane 300b-t mk.II tube in their amps? How do they compare to the EML 300b XLS? I spoke to Israel the other day. He said the amps now ship with the clear glass Psvane's and sound very good. Joe | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Thanks everyone! Waiting on the gentleman from Audio Loft in Manhattan to call for an audition. He said in couple of weeks after he relocates.I'll let you know what I think. Joe | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Thanks Charles and Iramirez. Yes, I use a Undertone sub and the pairing is excellent. IMHO, the sub is almost mandatory. The deep bass of course is better, more importantly the tonal balance is fuller and more fleshed out. The soundstage also ope... |
