| Review: Coincident Speaker Technology Statement Linestage Tube preamp "While I was not previously aware of much missing, the line stage added so much more life to my set up it sounded as if my 8 watt set amps now were 80 watts" In reading many threads on preamps over the years, I never really thought that there was ... | |
| The Blues.... You also have to pay your dues before you can play the blues as I recall! Funny, just this morning I was driving in my car and pulled out ROnnie Earl and Roy Buchannan and I was thinking that I have not played the blues in a while. This was perfec... | |
| New DAC or Speakers? What will put airy-ness in? A good preamp will get you what you are looking for.Happy Listening. | |
| New CDP or new DAC? First why are you even looking at equipment reviews. Waste of time. IMO and in my experience a DAC always out performed a CDP. There are so many used DACs to try. Find yourself one of the Museatex Bitstreams. You can buy them and sell them with no... | |
| Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders Sonus Faber Cremonas as mentioned above work very well with the Krell gear. Tube sound is subjective as most have not heard what tubes can offer in direct heated tube preamps or transformer coupled tube preamps. Happy Listening. | |
| Sold Polk lsi15 now what? For your musical tastes find a nice pair of Alons. I have seen V MKIIs go for $600-$1000. Fantastic on jazz and classic rock IMO.Happy Listening. | |

| Help me resurrect my AR-90s Before you do anything call Bill LEgall at Miller Sound in PA. 215 412-7700 He knows the speakers well and may be able to fix them or he will know what to replace them with. | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? I tired the cheap clock with the power supply in a few CDPs and they made a nice subtle improvement IMO as already stated above. I have not compared the more expensise replacement clocks (ultra clock) to the cheaper ones yet. I found that adding t... | |
| good amp for Maggies? COunterpoint SA-220 is one of the best amps I have heard on Maggies. There are two of the newer versions for sale on Agon now.Happy Listening. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat OK I now own both the newer modified Bitstream and older Bitstream with Blackgate caps. I also got the Morey James digital cable to try out. Will keep you posted in the near future.Happy Listening. | |
| Upgraded Counterpoint Hybrid SA-220 Power Amps Installed the oil choke and wow! It kills the larger Hammond choke I installed replacing the baisc upgrade smaller Hammond choke. The oil choke made the amp much more musical, better dimensionality, way better tone with more clarity. | |
| Will a Kinergetics KBA 75 amp power Dahlquist DQ10 I own the Alon V MKIIs and the KBA-75 sounds really good with them. They are 87db. I also own a Counterpoint SA-220 that has the new modifications. It also works great with them. They both drive the speakers well and I don't feel the need for more... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Thiel 2.4 You should look at the Alon speakers being sold on Audigon. The model IIs, IVs and Vs are fantastic speakers going for cheap. I heard the early versions of the Adagio spekaers and was not impressed with them. I don't know if they have improved upo... |
