| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? 4orreal,That looks to be a very nice system you're planning, the Veritas amp would seem a fine match with the Magico(in terms of driving the speaker load). The Dragon MK II "may" work out well also but a 4 ohm tap would be desirable with that spea... | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? I have to agree with Brf and Brownsfan. The Dragon MK II is a splendid amplifier but I don't believe the low impedance Magico Q3 is the preferred match. The Dragon has 8 and 16 ohm speaker taps and that would concern me driving a speaker that dips... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tbg,Yes exactly my point! We probably like very similar sound but may differ in our verbiage to describe what we hear. Natural and realism are the highest compliments I can give an audio component. The High Fidelity Ultimate and Enhanced cable ear... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tbg, One of the problems with high End audio is vocabulary. Terms and words have different meaning for different users and thus varying connotation. Musical in my use is a compliment and is the antithesis of artificial/hifi sound. Musical is synon... | |
| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure Brf, For a while the KR 300b was the tube of top choice for Isael Blume's Coincident Frankenstein SET amp. He loved the sound but he didn't receive factory support for early failing tubes and had to discontinue their use. I know there are people w... | |
| Cable recommendations for cary slp-98p & cary 120s Jakecanada,I agree with what's been said, you're happy with the silver Kimber, so why not stick with it? The quality of silver cables can certainly vary among brands. The better quality ones will provide excellent transparency and will preserve th... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi Tbg,Does Rick's Wave Guide Power Conditioner have a similar system impact as the Tripoint Troy or is the effect dissimilar? I realize they're two different approaches/ concepts. Given my High Fidelity CT-1Ulitimate experience I'd imagine that t... | |
| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure Pani,The only negative thing I've heard about the KR tube is that certain batches/generations had early tube failure issues. Sonically it's said to be a very good sounding 300b. The EML as far as I know has no reliability issue and are priced a bi... | |
| Is the BMC PureDAC a great dac? I'm sincerely curious to know what parts in that DAC need 800 hours for full break in. It seems somewhat excessive. I've heard components improve with continued use, but 800 hours? Honestly? | |
| Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure Pani I used the Shuguang BT for 2 1/2 years. It's a good tube but I find the EML(XLS) better across the board. It isn't embarrassed by the Takasuki in my amplifier. The Takatsuki is the best sounding 300b tube(sublime) I've ever heard, unfortunate... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE I'm curious, what speakers do you plan to use? | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Mikirob,I don't believe a home trial is available. I'd feel very confident buying this amp given the pedigree and the builder's stellar track record. I've had nothing but excellent service and follow up with Israel Blume.Thanks you for your kind c... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hifil,Honestly I see your point but I must say Tbg makes the same example as I did earlier, multiple brands combined with multiple opinions= ?The Cable Company is referenced for obvious reasons, they have these cables available for audition. They ... | |
| Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE Well some early RMAF reports express it's pretty impressive sounding. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz It's as if some of you haven't actually read this thread at all, many comparative brands have been named. You all need to read what's been written in this 'very long' thread. |
