Jonesy had a GTG at his new home yesterday. As it turned out , his gear loves the new place too because the sound was incredible. His system consists of Dynaudio Evidence Masters loudspeakers, Gryphon Colosseum Mono-block Power amps, Soulution 710 Preamp and EMM labs 2 box SACD player. This system is truly something to behold and it played every type of music superbly. Full scale orchestral sound was presented on a massive scale while the fans of Pink Floyd were similarly impressed with "The Wall" The system is the best I have ever heard at someone's place and I suspect it will remain so for some time to come. Heavy concentration - or are they sleeping? Rear view of the mighty Evidence Masters. Despite appearances, these speakers cannot be bi-wired. The centre sealed unit houses the crossover The Gryphon up close We also tried Tuyen's Coincident statement Linestage This time around the $5k Coincident Vs the $40K Soulution results differed from the last GTG. The whole system synergy has improved incredibly in the new environment since the last encounter. Inserting the Coincident preamp did make some changes however . Most notably the sound stage opened up more and seemed more spacious while the tonal balance became a more organic and a touch warmer. However, the Soulution had a perfectly acceptable tonal balance and was resolving more detail and was even faster than the Coincident. I expressed it like that because amongst a number of preamps I am familiar with ( in a similar price range to the CSLS) , the Coincident was ahead on speed and dynamics so the Soulution's performance was outstanding. So a big thank you to our gracious host Jonesy, who opened his new home to us yesterday. A sensational time was had by all.
