| CJ LS17 vs ARC LS15 The 17 is a very different preamp than the PV14. Better components different and better topography, etc. The 17LS2 is neutral, quiet and specific. The strength of the 14 is its exceptional midrange competencies. Its mid-bass is good but not excell... | |
| How good is the Lector CD player? The current issue of HiFi+ did a review and basically said you must listen to it. It is either lover or hate. I have to agree with the review as I heard it and was not all that captivated. Unless your Levinson demands replacement, I would take my ... | |
| Which CD player should I go for? AA, EC, Audiomeca Take a serious look at the Muse 10 with or without the analogue attenuator. While Muse is not very vocal their equipemnt surpasses expectations. Compared to Theta and Wadia the Muse won on musicality, specificity, bass and mid-bass, listenable. If... | |
| Anyone using Revalation Audio Labs cables? I have tried both speaker cables and ICs and found them to be neutral, musical and specific. No harshness or loss of information. Very sligth upper end roll-off, almost tube like. Midrange clean, detailed and robust without going out of focus. Bas... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? The new Penaudio Serenades introduced at CES will work well. See www.stereophile.com, day 3, Wes Phillips goes solo. | |
| Alpha Core MI2 vs Audience AU24 speaker cable The MI2 sounds slow, muddy, and flat compared to the AU24. This was one finding of a listening test I did with several people with 3 diffenent sets of electronics. | |
| Analysis Plus Interconnects Let's put this in very basic terms. You cannot go wrong with A+ wires. The Solo Crystal 8 are excellent offering detail, specificity and musical sound. The only way to improve on them is to shotgun them with a matching pair of A+ silver speaker wi... | |
| Recommendations for a variable out c/d player.... Muse 10 or 11 with analogue attenuator module. Balanced or single-ended. About $4400 for the Model 10, which is CD/DVD. The 11 is universal. | |
| Anyone compare Conrad Premier to Rogue? I think the answer lies mixed in some of the threads. First, each and every amp/manufacturer has their own signature sound. And, there is no doubt that CJ's is excellent, musical and captivating. Compared to the Rogue it is more refined and reveal... | |
| LFD MISTRAL..and partner gear If you think this is the amp for you, place that thought on hold and then look at speakers. Find a pair you cannot live without and then revisit the amp. Do they work together and do they give you want you want? If yes, then start buying. Do, not ... | |
| "Upgrade" C-J MF2500A to Pass X250, SimAudio, Or? Thanks for the question Danlib1--My only intent was to state...keep the CJ while offering some upgrade bug remedies. But you asked a good question. Is there a good answer? Who knows. My ears tell me that I like CJ, BC and BAT better than Cary. The... | |
| "Upgrade" C-J MF2500A to Pass X250, SimAudio, Or? I have listened to or spent considerable time with all the amps mentioned. The MF 2500A is a keeper and you will be unhappy once it leaves. You will not be able to replace its specificity and openness. This is truly the anchor to your current syst... | |
| 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... |
