| Power amp to match Conrad Johnson Premier17LS I was using a MF 2250A with my Premier 17. I had the MV 60 SE and the 2250A, IMO, was the better amp. More power, more detail, more musical. The MV 60 was a bit rolled off on the top and not as detailed. Lush, musical, dynamic...yes. But I really ... | |
| Anyone connected Muse 11 directly to Amps I am running a Muse 10 directly into my amp(s). Getting the right IC is important. You need to take the time to find which one is the best match. I have compared this to 3 preamps ranging in price from $2000 - 4500. The CJ Premier 17II gives me mo... | |
| studio 100s and CJ MF 2500 a good match ? I recently added the 2500A to my collection trading up from the 2250A. Let's start with the 2250A. It is a sleeper of an amp. Sterophile rated it class B and the MV 60 SE class A. I had the MV 60 SE. The ratings should be reversed. The 2250A, like... | |
| tube amp shoot-out I did the same comparison 2 years ago. I fully agree with your findings. I really wanted to go with the Manelys, especially as size was important. Despite how lovely the Mahi Mahi were, they just did not have enough power (for my speakers). I boug... | |
| good, small speakers Call Joshua at Ears Nova and talk to him about the Penaudio Charisma/Chara system or the Rebel 2, which can also be mated with the Chara woofer. Reviews available on www.stereotimes.com and www.onhifi.com. | |
| New tubes for Conrad Johnson17LS Pre The answer is based upon what you want to accomplish. But since you purchased it used the simple and first step is to retube it with the original tubes to so you can establish a benchmark. You need to know what it sounds like in its orignal form b... | |
| Muse Model 10 If there ever was a sleeper it is Muse. I had a Muse 100 years ago before my Bedini 25/25 and that sound has never left me. I bought a Muse 10 in February and have never looked back. I compared it to Theta Compli, Wadia 861 and AudoNote 3.1x. As y... | |
| Speaker/Speaker Cable advice for Creek equip.? I just got a 5350SE for my daughter. I used Analysis Plus wires (Copper Oval IC and Oval 9 speaker wires) and the Penaudio Rebel II speaker. I may just have to take it back from her! Her room is 14x17. | |
| CJ MV60SE v. Premier 140 I fulfill your criteria. Both are sweet sounding amps. The MV 60 SE has the standard CJ midrange. Bass response is good, but sometimes runs out of power, reflecting wattage and speaker efficiency. The top end is open and clean, but roles off ever ... | |
| Muse model 9 sig CD player how good? The Muse sig 9 set a standard for redbook players. The new Muse 10 is far superior. Muse is neutral, detailed, musical and very listenable. It has some of the best midbass response of any player and its soundstage is as accurate as it gets. The Mu... | |
| Monitors to pair with a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 Let's keep it simple even if I do not know your budget or music tastes. Two choices, albeit 100 probably exist. Penaudio or Silverline. | |
| Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7 You are now hearing the limits of the speakers, which all speakers have. You have a few real options. Try changing your room around. This is the least costly fix. If that does not work, try a CJ Premier 350 and then Shunyata Research cables. If th... | |
| Alpha Core vs Solo inductors? They may measure the same, but the Alpha Core may be a bit smoother. | |
| Retubing CJ 140 amp I have used the 140 with stock tubes and have had no complaints. The real trick to making this amp sing is a very good front end. I have retubed other amps using NOS and it can get costly and frustrating. I think the idea of attacking the 6922s is... | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" Take a serious look at the Muse 11. It is 4K so you have lots of leeway. |
