Cornman Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have spent several very enjoyable hours reading Salvatore. A man with a lot to say... Has any one here had the oppurntity to hear one of these "Frankenstein" amps? Cornman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 He really likes Coincident equipment in general and yes he has a lot to say. He also likes K horns even though he lowered them to his Class C. If you read his fine print he also likes Mark Deenan's old Paragon equipment and Denon and Shelter carts. If you want and entertaining read, check out Marc Philips column: http://www.furious.com/perfect/vinylanachronist.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 IMO, The man is full of hidden promotions. I've tried a lot of the equipment he recommends there and only liked a very limited few. I've corresponded with him a couple of times and he did use some of my writing regarding phono step ups there. He's quite old these days and I suspect his hearing abilities are not that good anymore so he tends to use other people opinions "his associates" he calls them. There was an interesting thread in Audio Asylum regarding his recommendations on digital gear. I think it was about the Ayre cd player and him promoting Israel Blume of coincident speakers stuff. I'll try to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornman Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thanks Guy. He does seem a bit strong in his unequvical recommendttion of the Coincident gear. Although his wrttings seem so intelligent & elliquent, I found them very convincing & injoyable.Guy have you tried the Coincident 300B yourself ? I would be very interested to hear from some one who has. Cornman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hey Cornman, Haven't tried them. I've only tried the Airtight ATM300 and have some experience with the Cary 300B Signature. Both were not my cup of tea but I did try to give them a longer than average chance due to their reputation. Most of my experience from Arthur's list is from the preamp and phono cartridges department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Landau Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey GP, All is well. Hope it's the same with you too. I do visit quite frequently but I'm on the passive side. I'll do my best to change it back to normal. Take care, Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
