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.
Preamp suggestion for Coincedent M300B Frankenstein mk2
I have a Constellation Inspiration Preamp + Stereo Amp for my Mino-D speakers.
I’ve decided to investigate the “tube” sound so I started with the Coincedent 300B Frankenstein MkII amplifier which I planned to attach to my Constellation (SS) preamp. The 300B will drive my 100db Volti Rival.
Am I going in the right direction or should I use a different preamp? If different, any suggestions? I’m also a confused if choosing a tube preamp with a tube amp may be too much of tube sound?

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. |
Well said, and why I have had this arrangement for 13 years! I’ll admit however that I have no idea how good the Constellation preamplifier sounds with the Coincident Frankensteins. Given Constellation’s esteem reputation, I have to assume it is quite good. I can only attest to the excellence of the Coincident Statement Line stage. Charles |
