| ??? Which Would You Buy ??? I will buy the very best which I can afford. I refuse to cut corners on sound, build quality, or reliability for the sake of saving a buck. | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier yukio, If you haven't done so already, head over to the conradjohnson owners forum. You will get lot's of info on the ET5 and how it compares to other CJ equipment, | |
| Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamplifier vs Conrad Johnson ET5 (or CT5) preamplifier I completely agree with ghdprentice. I've had several pieces of Prima Luna equipment since they entered the industry. Most recently as pair of EVO 400 amp which I used a s monoblocks. Vintage tubes certainly helped improve the sound quality, but ... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? With my Linn LP12 which is currently on the TT wall mount, I'm at $46,495. If you look at the system in my signature photo, you can see it on the right hand side. | |
| Best DAC’S $5k to $15k Earlier this year I auditioned multiple units before finally deciding to increase my budget and purchase NAIM's Reference ND555 and now two of the CD555DR power supplies. In the OP's price range, new or used, I was very impressed with the Grimm MU... | |
| Modern EL34s VS NOS Winged C - and return policies? In your EVO300 amp, have you changed out the 12AU7 tubes. It makes a big difference. When I had my pair of EVO400's and ran them as monoblocks, I used vintage mid 60's CIFTE 12AU7's. | |
| Old SS amps I have a Mark Levinson No.23 and a No.27.5 which I acquired used about twenty years ago. Although they have not in in use for several years now, I am confident that I can plug either one into my system and they will do just fine. | |
| Help with cartridge choice for Linn LP-12, Ittok turntable I'm using a Grado AEON3 cartridge with very pleasant results on my LP12/Ekos table. Prior to the Grado, I had my Transfiguration Proteus D on the table which also sounded wonderful The only reason I changed to the Grado was out of curiosity only a... | |
| Which amp with Wilson watt puppy 8 Something is certainly wrong. I drive my Wilson Alexia's with a pair of Conrad Johnson's big LP275M tube mono blocks (eight ST120 tubes in each one) with fabulous results. I can play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon, or AC/DC Thunderstruck at le... | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? What is ideal? I have no idea what decibel level I listen to music at. I simply adjust the volume to be suitable to how I feel at that moment and what genre of music I am listening to at the time. | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! Invalid, If we can hear sound emanating from a video or GPS cca there is indeed a problem. Actually, if you can hear sound coming from any cca, I would estimate that a problem exists. Most of the cards we build go through a final, full functional... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp Your welcome ghdprentice, What I can't tell is if the improvement is manifested via the amps being on their own electrical line, or if the improvement is from removing the amps from my power conditioner and thus allowing my source equipment to no... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! The thread premise question is with regards to the CCA's, not the piece of equipment it goes into. I would absolutely agree that transformers, relays, vacuum tubes, and other non-CCA items are indeed sensitive to vibrations. Again, the question wa... | |
| Best way to dampen a micro-vibrating Printed Circuit Board inside an amp? Thanks! Being in the profession I am in, I find this thread to be somewhat amusing. I started my career in the early 80's as a PWB (printed wiring board designer) then into Engineering Manager, then Director, and then finally where I'm at as a VP/GM of an... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp ghdprentice, yes I have noticed that after putting my monoblocks on their own 20 amp line that there seems to be more weight to the overall presentation. It was a relatively easy and not very expensive upgrade to my system which I regret not makin... |
