| What is the overall consensus on the CJ Premier 17 Czbbcl, I know you have owned the 17LS but do you have experience with the PFR? | |
| Which will make the most impact, Tube amp or pre.. Audiobugged, Silverline demo's these speakers with an 8 wpc SET. At least this is my understanding. Supposedly they are voiced to a 300B SET | |
| Audiogon "Recordings to Die for" a complete summary Hi GuysI haven't been around for awhile. Great list but I am surprise that Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus" and Keb Mo "Just Like You" or "Slow Down" are not on the list | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson Premier-17LS Tube preamp My wife was so impressed with our CJ amp and preamp that she said, "Do they make anything else?" | |
| Any "musicians" in the bunch? I play drums. I still have the Ludwig Vistalites I bought new in 1975. Don't play a great deal anymore. Haven't played out in a few years. I mostly play at home with the headphones. My favorite artist to play is Led Zeppelin. I also sing and front... | |
| Still cnfusd about upgrdg 4 bettr music reprductn The better way to go about it is to get a 2 channel preamp with a video loop. Connect your cdp, front 2 ch power amp and front speakers to your 2 ch pre. Connect your processor thru video loop. When you want to play movies etc press video selector... | |
| SILVERLINE SONATA II-giant killer? I have the original Silverline Sonatas (Avalon style) with a 200 wpc Conrad johnson SS amp. It works very well and especially for accoustic music. I cannot imagine anything better. The difference between the original and MKll series is that the ne... | |
| Are you spending your time at the computer instead Since rediscovering vinyl about 5 months ago I've not had the time to hang around Agon or the asylum. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Agon very much and used to visit daily. However now I have become obsessed with buying all the vinyl that I possibly ... | |
| preamp w/ cinema bypass / SSP loop for about 1k Conrad Johnson PFR has all the qualities you seek. I have one and am running HT thru video loop. The remote is good although I've heard others whine about its design (it's plastic, not metal) Most importantly it is a great performer. The used pric... | |
| My highest praise - for Audiogon I guess I should be known as lowdowncowardlyscumbag Artemus from now on. Gee I didn't realize I was so morally corrupt. | |
| Best SS 200 wpc amps Conrad Johnson MF-2200 @ 200 wpc or MF-2500 @ 240 wpc which is made to push hard loads. It has all the qualities you seek. It's not the new kid on the block but "it just sounds right" | |
| Suggestions for my first turntable? I recently bought the MMF-7 and am happy with it. In order to get more you will have to spend a thousand more. With a $1k budget the MMF-7 is the choice I made after a lot of research. | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations An interesting observation is that the vinyl asylum seems to prefer the monolithic to the black cube. I have no experience with either but was ready to go with the Monolithic till I read this thread. I guess I'll toss a coin since I have nowhere t... | |

According to Bluebok prices the retail on these items are as followsRXV 1000 $ 1000604 $ 1600 LCR $ 500 The speaker prices are for original not S3 so retail price may be more. The Yammie is last years model I think, but has the same features as ne... |
