Description

Goal: Let the musical event be reproduced in the most detailed but involving manner. It must move me, not just recover detail for detail sake.

Next upgrades: room acoustics; I am also currently evaluating the Coincident Mk2 Frankenstein monoblocks.

This is a vinyl-centric system centered on the Coincident Phono stage and the Nantais/Lenco/Allnic combo.

New preamp: Tubeguru integrated linestage with phono section (MC/MM).

Also awaiting new turntable plinth (Ultimate prototype) from Jean Nantais.

System edited: New preamp, speakers and cabling. Also getting a Wyetech Topaz again...the one with the new Bartolucci transformers.

System edited: Changed to Linkwitx Orion speaker system. This uncovered a weakness in my front end (Dynavector incompatibility with the Talia, and phono stage). Currently evaluating Allnic 1201 phono stage. The H1200 I have is amazing, big and rich sound, and simple to use.

System edited: Sold the Wyetech OPal and Canaries (overkill power for the Ardens) and tried the Sophia 91-01. Way cleaner than the PP Canaries!
