Where are Conicident Speaker Technology electronics made ?
I’m in total agreement with Charles and Mikirob. I’ve owned the Frank 2 and the statement preamp. I found them to be of excellent quality and never experienced any issues in four years of use. Israel has been nothing but responsive to every email ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Parkiecontact Marc at trueaudiophile.com. They are located on the west coast in Oregon or Washington State. I I purchased a pair of Taks from him last fall and they shipped the same day. Great customer service for sure!!Scifi

Charles Since you have done the research on these resistors where did you locate them online??Tom 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles,Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that one of your Elrogs has gone bad. It sounds like a repeat performance of what happened to me. Perhaps there is some hope on the horizon in that a "new batch" should be to George any day now..... Well I hop... 
Any mass market speaker with beryllium compression drivers?
I was going to mention Audiokinesis as a manufacturer that uses beryllium compression drivers. I have them in my Audiokinesis Zephrins. They are excellent. My local audio pals who have listened to my system can’t get over how smooth they are espec... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles,i forgot to add that I'm really enjoying the Franks very much. They make listening to music such a pleasurable experience. I find myself more engaged in the listening process with these amps than any other I've ever owned and I've been int... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles,I haven't had my Franks as long as you have but have never experienced any other tube failures with them other than one of my Elrogs. I have used the stock Shuguang Black Treasures (briefly) as well as VAIC VV300b which were manufactured i... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, For sure let's hope that the new and improved Elrogs produce outstanding music for many many hours!! I see that you have the matching Coincident Line Stage preamp. What can you tell me about it. If it is anything like the Franks it must b... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Charles, The Joules are a different kind of beast altogether. They produce voluminous amounts of heat given that they use the Russian 6c33b power tube and many of them at a time. You could literally roast weenies on top of that amp! LOL They also ... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I have been a silent observer of this thread. After hearing all the pros and cons of the Elrogs I contacted George Lenz and purchased a pair. Like many of you I own the Coincident Frank II's which are just superb amps. Can't believe how quiet they... 
Anyone got a Counterpoint SA5000 Service Manual?
GraemeLook up Bigkidz under members in the community section of the a'gon website. He most likely can help you out. He repairs counterpoint gear and is quite knowledgeable about your preamp.Hope this helps you out. Scifi 
Best Transport for Tidal
Swamp walkerContact Neal at Musicvault. He can remotely reconfigure your MV to stream Tidal. He did it for me although to be honest I think Tidal sounds better streaming through my Auralic Aries. Good LuckScifi 
PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers?
Hello Dazzling MD, Here is my two cents with respect to your question. I have owned the exact speakers that you have currently and powered them with a variety of amps. I would offer the suggestion that you investigate the AUDIO MIRROR 45 watt SET... 
Audio Mirror 45 thoughts?
Brent Jessee is the best. Tubes are always in great condition, matched and he has a return policy if you don't like them. Can't be better than that. I hope that they are to your liking.

Smctigue1I am currently using Tung Sol black glass round plates in the 6sl7 spot. They provide a nice balanced full sound IMO. I have also used Sylvania short brown base with D getters in that spot. They are more similar to the Sylvania bad boys i...
