| Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal. I used to own Victory II’s. With the rear ports, they were a little tricky to place in my small-ish room. Salvatore wrote that they can be an exercise in frustration if not fed quality components. That said, I found that they are capable speakers ... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Thank you Grannyring for the response. I am looking forward to your impressions of the Neotech wire. As for me, I went with the Horneshoppe’s offering of copper wiring and am quite pleased with it. I was thinking about trying wbt jacks for my 3 in... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? grannyring - Do you plan on making any modifications? I'm pleased as punch with the stock T3 unit, but would be interested in learning about any further sonic improvements that could be made. | |
| Is Meridian dead as a product company? You're welcome. I do think the sound quality of my Meridian G68 is perhaps a tad better in two channel mode than my Marantz. Dialogue is a bit easier to hear too. But the Marantz and other current offerings have the most recent codecs and seemles... | |
| Is Meridian dead as a product company? I own G68 and G91 processors. The sound is good, but I also have a recent model Marantz processor that is much less expensive and just as enjoyable to my ears. The G68 is now part of a third system and the G91 is mothballed.Here in California, I h... | |
| Cerious Technologies Matrix USB cable Just got mine. It is a very good cable. In my system, I feel the improvement in sound with Bob’s usb cable is even more noticeable than his Matrix interconnects and power cables. I was using a couple of $50 usb cables that are often recommended by... | |
| SOTA Cosmos and other models - lean sounding? I thought my Lenco idler drive refurbished by Jean Nantais sounded noticeably fuller than the Cosmos IV that I also owned. | |
| Objective Review of the ModWright Pioneer LX800 Yeah, I saw that. I was just wondering if the reviewer's impressions of the stock unit were similar to yours. Anyways, having experienced (and liked) a dac in my system that has the newest generation ESS Sabre dac chip, I am curious about Pioneer'... | |
| Objective Review of the ModWright Pioneer LX800 Also, the guy who did your review did not mention what tubes are in your Modwright unit, unless I missed it. Perhaps the choice of tubes makes a difference? I had an Allnic phono stage with a tubed power supply and thought the sound got even bette... | |
| Objective Review of the ModWright Pioneer LX800 Did you try the LX800 before sending it to Modwright? If yes, what did you think of it? There’s been some positive user impressions of the stock LX500 and it seems the stock LX800 should be even better. | |
| Objective Review of the ModWright Pioneer LX800 Thanks. That’s an eye opener and food for thought. Hoping some Modwright owners, or at least some owners of gear with tubed power supplies, will chime in to give their perspective. I owned a MW Oppo 83 and still have a Pioneer BD player that was t... | |
| MORE Esoteric problems To follow up, I had to have the laser assembly replaced and TAP repaired my UX-3pi at a very reasonable cost. When I picked up my UX-3pi, I did ask about repairing other models in house. They said only the "pi" models can be repaired at their faci... | |
| MORE Esoteric problems I can confirm that TAP can replace a laser assembly of an Esoteric UX3-pi in house. I was told that there would be no shipping of anything to Japan if it turns out I need a new transport. I was just there today. They have a nice facility. They in... | |
| Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ? When I had the input jacks of my Frankensteins changed, the technician commented, without any prompting from me, that he was impressed with the build quality and that there wasn't much to improve upon the design, except for maybe he would go with ... | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? I am an owner of the Frankensteins. I use and love a pair of Von Schweikert db99 speakers, but those are only available used and rarely come up for sale. I tried Coincident Victory II speakers, which Arthur Salvatore praised, but found that the re... |
