After 19 years, it’s time for a system rebuild.
 

Out with the old (Art Audio Jota monoblocks and Hovland HP100) and in with the new (Coincident M300B plus Coincident phono and line stages). The old stuff was worn out and replacement parts, like 32B output tubes, are hard to find. Besides, spending money is fun…until it runs out.

I am a tweaker and I couldn’t resist making some changes to the new gear. I replaced the coupling caps in the Coincident electronics with Duelund CAST. That change was better than expected and I was encouraged to do the same with the Trio crossovers. That was even better. I replaced most of the tubes with NOS and I am thinking about Elrog 300b for the output tubes. I’m also thinking about a new phono cartridge.

Nice. Am sure the 300B monoblocks are a great match to your Trio's. You should post a pic. Not many of us have such iconic and individual looking speakers in our system. Horns that look like horns and finished so beautifully. Same with Coincident gear. Not many here know of them.

You must be excited. :yes::thumbsup: Your 2nd post in 7 years. ;)

Like your screen name. One of my favorites from Sandy Denny.

I remember that song well; it was a favorite of mine, as well. It was on the album Liege and Lief by Fairport Convention.

I always thought that was an unusual name for a medieval (and mythical) knight.

Had never bothered to actually read the lyrics of Tam Lin until a couple of days ago. Always thought it was Carter Hall rather than Carterhaugh (a forest). Liege & Lief is an excellent album. Crazy Man Michael, Matty Groves, The Deserter.............. all good tracks.

Jon - now that you can post pic's, give us that shot of your Trio's. Great looking/sounding speakers.

It is against Forum rules to post links to, and or promote your own site.

Dear Masterlu,
I am aware of the forum rules. I do not own the site in question and I have no financial interest in it, whatsoever.

Like others here, I was captivated by Sandy Denny's version of the Tam Lin ballad and, as a musician, I wanted to learn more about the origin of the song.
