WA + MephistoAbedirov, This looks like a wonderful system. I too benefited from Charles comments, first regarding the statement line stage, but ultimately resulting in an all Coincident system with ModWright so... posted about 9 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles,Like everything else I do, the system changes have been an adventure. As usual, I need more patience, and I need it RIGHT NOW! At any rate, I should have a revised system up in a couple... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, thanks. Stay tuned, as a teaser there will be some system changes. Don't worry though, I haven't strayed from the Coincident theme. posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

classical music heavenLen,A deep dive into Buxdtehude is on my short list. Shame on me. All it takes is a couple of clicks on amazon. Somewhat easier than a 200 mile walk through 18th century Germany. Time is part o... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
classical music heavenLen, Give me Leipzig 1725 over Berlin, this year or any year. Forgive my heretical question, but can there be heaven on earth in the absence of the allmachtigen Bach? posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, you are correct sir! I've heard some pretty expensive systems, but nothing is so purely musical as the Frank's with the Elrogs. Sit back and enjoy. Life is good. posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, You can go any direction from the top of the mountain, but they are all downhill. It's not likely we will see a better 300b or 101d anytime soon. We have wandered into rarefied regions, my... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Wise move Charles, that 3000 WPC class D should be at least 400 times better than those 8WPC Franks. BTW, you might want to think about moving towards the 60's Era bubblegum genre. You will be all ... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles,An observation or two about the Elrogs. One of the attributes of these tubes I value most highly is the silky smooth sound. Last week, I had a chance to listen to a treasured recording ... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
SET bliss/Jazz Haven (In my home).Charles, I can say that with just a few hours on the tube, they just utterly surpass the Ts in every respect. How can you increase definition and resolution while decreasing that sometimes abrasive... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |
