| Best phono preamp for Dynavector 20XL Wright PP 100 with K&K tranny is what I use. The Wright is ridiculously good and can be had for $845. It will be very hard to beat at twice the amount paid. The K&K also gets good reviews. Mine is 10x ratio. | |
| What to expect? I'm not familiar with your equipment, But I can tell you that if you don't like the vinyl "ritual", you won't like vinyl. Vinyl demands work. You gotta keep 'em clean, keep the stylus clean, put 'em back in the sleeve without touching the grooves.... | |
| Phono stage upgrade Wright WPP 100 or 200 if you can find a used one. Hard to find used because most people keep them. I think they are $825, new | |

| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Thanks Bombaywalla. I do not have the knowledge to do the calcs. yet but certainly appreciate your time. I was hoping to hear from someone who had actually tried this combo. However I also understand the idea that most people would probably not pu... | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Dr Joe. My cdp has a standby mode. The main power switch is in the back. I believe the idea is to keep the DAC's warm. My preamp also has no on/off switch. And I do leave my amp turned on. | |
| 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... |
