| High end tube Preamp under $4k used that competes If you can live w/ RCA-only inputs/outputs - Conrad Johnson CT6. | |
| How are Mullards supposed to sound? Tom, I understand and, to some extent, agree with your thoughts. But I too run a business selling very expensive equipment and services. While there are always folks that want to waste your time; you simply cannot make snap judgements, demand prec... | |
| How are Mullards supposed to sound? Unsound,LOL | |
| How are Mullards supposed to sound? As for Kevin Deal...I have had similar experiences with Kevin. I know that there are a lot of folks here on A'gon that give Kevin high marks, but every time I have called him (and actually been able to speak with him) he has basically shoo'ed me a... | |
| Where is Wright Audio? George Wright was Wright Sound. Wright Audio in Oregon is a different company altogether. They also build tube audio components. | |
| Best turntable setup for under $300 With all due respect, I must disagree with those who have advised the OP to go out and buy a new Sony PS-LX300USB. I have heard this TT in an average "dorm room" setup, and I must say that I thought it sounded pretty bad. Admittedly the cartridge ... | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova There are lots of good choices, probaby too many to list:Monitors - ERA (as mentioned by Muzikat), Linn Kan/Tukan, Rega R1, Triangle, Von Schweikert VR-1 (my personal choice)... almost any good monitor > 87db efficiency will do, depending on ho... | |
| Has anyone done a shootout with the vpi classic? Wendell,I for one would be very interested in your findings and impressions of the Classic vs. the Aries 1. | |
| Amp suggestions needed Stanwal, you are probably right. But I did have a freiend that used a set of DNA-1s to drive his Divas. Worked great.I have also heard good things about the H2O amps w/ APogee full rnage speakers, but I have never seen or heard one in person. | |
| Amp suggestions needed Wood, you have three great amps listed but I don't thnk that the BAT or McCormack have enough power to properly drive the Duettas. My choice would be to use (2) McCormack (or BAT) amps in bridged mode.You might also consider a used Sonographe SA-4... | |
| CJ preamps? Electroid, you're going to get a diverse set of opinions. All (OK, almost all) of the CJ preamps are great; some more than others. My preferences in your price range are the PV-12 and the Premier 14. These will provide you with the warm, lush soun... | |
| C J CT6 The CT6 is one of my favorite preamps. I'm looking to pick one up when I can find a deal that wasn't already snatched up. | |
| Swapping Tonearms on a VPI Aries- anyone? Bassphil, you don't need to drill and mount a second arm. Just buy an additional arm tube (really the arm w/o the mounting base) for your JMW. No muss, no fuss. Undo the wire at the junction box and just lift off the tube - do the same in reverse ... | |
| Von schweikert VR-1 VS Ascend Sierra VR-1 is a great speaker for the money. You should be able to find a good used pair for $500 or less. Check craigslist if you can't find it on A'gon. | |
| CJ preamps? Electroid, the OP was referring to Canary Audio's CA-200 passive preamp, not CJ's CA200 control amp. Cnary Audio CA-200 Passive PreampJoekapahulu, you do understand that the Canary unit you referenced is a passive unit, right? |
