| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? I had a question posted earlier about getting a Coincident Phono to start building a top flight vinyl frontend.But frankly I do not have the time/experience/budget for it right now.I also listen to a lot of music that are hard to get on Vinyl.I ha... | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Charles1dad,Yes I was not blown away by the Devores either. Therefore the search still continues. I have only heard Verity Parsifal Ovation monitors not the fullrange with the woofers. But I heard the Verity Fidelio fullrange. So I can approximate... | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Congrats ebm ! while visiting various forums I know you were on the lookout for Q3. Yes they are wonderful. | |
| Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ? Hi Charles1dad,Based on someone's (Kiddman or Mapman) suggestion on the Devore Orangutan thread, I went RMAF 2013 and heard most of the speakers mentioned in that thread (Coincident, Devore, Tanner Friedl, VA The Kiss).

I would just start with the most inexpensive MC cartridge that would be compat... | |
| 32 Feet USB : sound degradation issues, what next? Thanks guys. I will try the "active" USB cable and see ifit works, if not the powered USB hub.If neither then will have to get a mac mini. sigh!This hobby can get tiring sometimes :) | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hi Charles1dad.Unfortunately there is no way for me to audition the Coincident without purchasing it.And yes your assumption is right about phono perf being primary consideration.Banquo, your words are full of wisdom. My LP collection is already r... | |

| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I apologize for beating this topic to death, but yesterday I dealer demo-ed the CAT SL1 Renaissance with built-in Phono. I was wondering how the Coincident Phono compares to this pre-amp.The CAT was unbelievable. Blew my mind.Would the Coincident ... | |
