Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ?

"Epic fail" I disagree with that conclusion, Essrand can have a
fabulous sounding system with a well conceived digital source. Analog
front ends can sound great or not so great. Digital is no different, it's
implementation.
Who says he can't have both sources? I think Essrand is building a top
quality natural sounding system given his choices so far.

I had a question posted earlier about getting a Coincident Phono to start building a top flight vinyl frontend.
But frankly I do not have the time/experience/budget for it right now.
I also listen to a lot of music that are hard to get on Vinyl.
I have a clearaudio concept with MM that should do for now.

I will get back to Vinyl once I have enough records and experience to justify the expense.

Thanks a lot BRF, your post really help because I was wondering if Parsifal Encore would be as good as the latest Ovation. Since there is an Encoder on Agon for a good price now. Guess I should prefer the Ovation.

If you are going with Coincicent go wth his speakers too, better than the Magicos.

I think MAGICO is much better!!

Ebm,
That's why I love a marketplace that provides choices. You prefer the Magico and voted with your wallet, that's good. Others such as Kiddman and myself find the Coincident better sounding, no right or wrong choice. We buy what we individually like and I suspect the Magico will serve you very well, congratulations and enjoy them.
