Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill
Enjoy your new preamp!I've had my Coincident phono stage for about 2 years, and I like it a LOT. As I've upgraded my turntable, my tonearm(s), and my cartridge(s), I've never had the slightest urge to upgrade my phono stage. After being advised by... 
TubeGuru amps from Hungary?
I have been enjoying his 40 WPC push-pull monoblocks (based on the Siemens F2a tube) for the last 8 months or so. Beautifully built, dead silent to operate, and they produce great sound. What's not to like?

Review: Magnepan 3.6R Speaker
I'm a happy owner of Sound Lab full-range U-2 ESLs (same size as the A-3s and M-3s, don't even ask), but I did some careful listening to the 3.6R at a local dealer. The mid-range is startling in its clarity and immediacy. I definitely heard some t...
