| Review: Coincident Speaker Technology Statement Linestage Tube preamp You have a great Coincident Technology system. Each piece is probably the best available at anywhere near their price. | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp Thanks Roxy. I can't wait myself. | |
| what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass Actually I own a Pass Labs XA 100.5 amp. It is quite good, but I also own a Clayton M200 amp and it is better in just about every category I can think of. The Clayton is the most true to the signal of any solid state amp I have evr heard. And it h... | |
| Best value amplifier under or near $6K The Clayton M200 Class A amps list at $9,500, but I have seen used models on Audiogon for under $5,000. These are incredble amps and the most accurate to the signal amps I have ever heard. And at 200 watts of great clean Class A power it can drive... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? In the solid stae realm, all the Clayton Class A amps are great. The sweet spot is the Clayton M200 at MSRP $9,500 of 200 watts/channel of pure Class A goodness.Next on the list would be the McCormack DNA-500 with a bit denser and more liquid soun... | |
| Preamp Options The Coincident Technologies Line Stage is an incredible pre-amp and by far the best one can get at $5,000. The only downside is it only has two inputs and no remote. Sound-wise, you won't find a better unit. Coincident also makes a great phono sta... | |
| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? The best solid state amps that have tube-like characteristics I have ever heard that are reasonabl;y priced are the Clayton S40 amps (the MSRP is $2,950 & I'm sure are about half that price on the used market) and the Clayton M100 (which I hav... | |
| The Hub: No moving parts? No problem! Having heard the Lansche plasma tweeters -- they are incredible. They produce ZERO ozone, as it is all converted to pure oxygen. | |
| The best tweeter design I'll take the Lansche plasma tweeters. Zero mass, no ozone production (as it is converted into pure Oxygen). The sound is incredible. | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp I just bought the Einstein The Tube Mark II Linestage and the Einstein The Light in the Dark stereo amplifier. Sometime within the next month I will be able to move into my house and will also be receiving the Lansche No. 5 speakers with the plasm... | |
| Small Preamplifier choices? The Doge 8 preamp at about $1,500 is the best pre-amp I have heard under $4,000. It also has a very good phono section. It is a steal at its price and if you can find one used, even more so. | |
| Tube Integrated with Headphone The Leben CS-300X is an excellent integrated at MSRP $3,295 and is 15 watts/channel with a top drawer headphone outlet. It even looks like a vintage piece and is beautiful to behold. With the proper speaker it makes beautiful music. | |
| Preamp suggestion The LSA Standard integrated at 150 watts/channel into 8 ohms fits your budget. They are also upgradeable to the LSA Signature or the LSA Statement for just the price difference, if you ever feel you want more pefomance. | |
| Think I want a tube system? For an excellent tube set-up a Leben Integrated tube amp would be a good start, although there are other fine integrated tube amps. Along with a relatively easy to drive speaker system, such as Harbeth, Devore, Vaughn (direct-buy), Coincident Tech... | |
| what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass Excuse me, I meant the McCormack DNA-500 and the Clayton M200 are both better than any Krell, Levinson, or McIntosh amps. |
