| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Wu, I tried a few different rectifiers and liked the Tung-Sol 5u4gb and Sylvania 5931 the best. The Sylvania is a beautiful built tube. The Pvsane hi-fi 300b which came with the amps weren't bad, but the EML 300b XLS tubes are much better. They... | |
| Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid Over your budget, but Zu's Undertone is excellent with my Druid V speakers. It blends in perfectly. Talk to Sean, he might have some b-stocks for a good price. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Hi Wilsynet,I have the Driud V's in a room a little bigger then yours and run an Undertone sub with no problems. All rear ported speakers gave me bass problems. The Zu's bottom ports load a room much better. If you can swing the extra money go wit... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly The Radian tweeter is so much better then the older tweeter. It is much more open, smoother and integrates with the nano FRD much better. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Charles, Yeah, I put AMR gold fuses in. It was a worthwhile improvement. I'm loving the amps, after 35 years in this hobby I finally am really content with my system. It sounds so natural, organic, and so full of life. I stopped analyzing and j... | |
| loud popping sound from left channel If it is your preamp, it could be one of your tubes. Start switching the tubes from the left channel to the right channel until you find the bad tube. | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Just get them straight from TWL (Pete). He's a great guy to deal with. Get the 7ga.+ cords. They work real good with amps. | |

| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Mel really nice integrated by the way. It must sound wonderful! Joe | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Mel, I think you overreacted. How is Charles being a cop. He stated is his opinion, as has you. Charles has always given helpful advise and is an asset on this forum. I have both types of amps and enjoy both. They each have advantages and disadvan... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Charles, I'll give Israel a call mine look like 1.6 amp, but it's hard to make out. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Charles,If you mean main differences in sound, the two amps don't sound vastly different. The First Watt is Class A single- ended using Jfet output transistors, which is a pretty rare bird. The amp circuit acts somewhat like a tube amp. The amp... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps My speakers are 16 ohms. I'm using the 16 ohm taps. I first ordered the Decware, but cancelled the order for the Franks. People who have them love them, personally I haven't heard them. FYIDecware is coming out with a Torii IV. | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Update: I have around 150 hours on the amps and they are sounding much better! They opened up nicely with a refined natural tonal balance, good separation and layered depth. Bass is tuneful and goes pretty deep, very good for a SET amp. The midran... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Yes, it is a gorgeous tube when lit. Thanks for the heads up!If I'm ever ready to purchase, I'll make sure it's compatible in my amps. |
