Solid-state preamp with tube power amp
I have both ss and tube in the same preamp! I have a CJ PV-14LS... tube input and mosfet output... this feeds my CJ MV60 very nice combo.. 
what's the best "mini monior" these days
Thanks for all the great ideas... I obviously have some listening to do.. Unfortunately some of these are hard to find. Thanks for the ATC pointer.. flat earth is in my neck of the woods. I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to listen to the T... 
what's the best "mini monior" these days
You're correct I was talking about the RM7si.. Just did the wrong cut and past from the review I was reading. One of the local dealers I called for another reason is hot on the RBH 41-SE anyone get a chance to listen to these? 
It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp
I actually thought pbb's post was kind of funny... I guess I'm to big and cocky to take it as a slam. As I stated above I really don't take these debates very seriously anymore. If this is a psychoacoustics effect that is almost cooler in some res... 
It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp
This was not intended to be unkind... I was poking fun at myself.. I started the thread because I'm hearing a huge difference. The fact is that ever since I bought my new amp I've spend every night staying up late listening to music. I'm getting b... 
It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp
Given that a cartridge is a mechanical device it would not surprise me that it needs a bit of wiggle time to get sounding right. It's just like warming a car engine. The difference here is a car engine will warm if idling but that does not seem to... 
Help: low Maintenance Tube Amp short list.
I just got a MV-60 so I can't comment on the long term issue but biasing is a piece of cake and seems quite stable once dialed in. Oh it sounds great.. 
have u heard Conrad Johnson's tube CD player?
I was interested in this player as well since I have a CJ system. The folks as CJ actually suggested that I look at something else. DACs and such have improved since and they said it was not bad but not their "best" work. They mentioned that McCor... 
Conrad Johnson - MV60 - anyone heard one?
I just got both the MV60 and PV-14. I'm having a hard time typing since I'm listening to it now and my jaw keeps falling on the keyboard:^)Go fo it.. 
Conrad-Johnson DF-2 CD Player
I just got a MV-60 and love the sound... I'm planning to use a CJ preamp and was hoping the player was in the same league. too bad... 
Musical Fidelity CD-Pre24 Opinion
The other thing I should have added is that this is for my 2 channel tube setup. Beyond the basic debate on SACD vs DVD-A does it become a no brainer if we are just talking 2 channels. I also have a 5 channel rotel system where I can play with the... 
why does triod mode sound better than ultralinear?
Thanks for the info... Most of my question is just because I'm a EE geek and new to tubes. I to am interested in the circuit design. I have ProAc Tabletts which I think are somewhere in the 87 db range. I use these with a HGS-10 subwoofer which is... 
Entry level tube amp to try
I just bought a CJ MV-60... and liking it a lot. I'm discovering all kinds of music that has been burried in my CDs.. 
Rogue M-120 vs CJ MV-60 vs ARC VS-55
I never got to do a shootout but I bought the CJ and I'm loving it.... If there is something better it will be illegal..
