Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2

@kennyc

When do you expect to receive the Frankensteins and Volti speakers? I can imagine that your current Constellation preamplifier should pair very well with the Frankensteins. They are both quite high quality audio components. Some transistor components can potentially present a “dry” sonic character. I have no idea if this would apply to the Constellation at all.

Better means strictly better sonic performance rather than features, a clear sonic uptick that’s obviously notable. If it’s slight barely able to tell better then it’s not worth the change. I’m mainly checking if my Constellation SS preamp is a good choice or it there a better choice within my budget.

Peace out.  Good luck with this.

I'm feeling the pull of obtaining the Coincident Statement line stage...there goes my budget...what else is new.  I'm also find their Coincident Statement Phono Preamplifier appealing.

I don’t believe that this is a decision you’d subsequently regret. If the objective is superb sound quality this is unquestionably one way to achieve it.

You won't be disappointed! Going from MkI to MkII with extra upgrade of Amtrans rotary selectors was so worthwhile!

DHT pre's really special, natural synergy with SET amps, all the wonderful aspects of these circuits and tubes are holistic with DHT in both pre and amps. My take is why diminish those special aspects with different topology in pre.
