| 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. | |
| Cinepro system at HI FI 2004 You did not have to be in the room to hear or experience thier system. Every room within 5 of theirs suffered. Stereophile should consider refunds to several exhibitors and place all HT exhibits on separate floors for all future shows. Silverline ... | |
| Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55 There was an indirect comparison (back to back reviews) about a year ago between the MV60 (not se version) and the ARC in HiFi+. Their conclusion was that the CJ, even then, was a better amp. From my personal experience, the MV60SE is a clear winn... | |
| Help me spend my $1500, interated or separate? Portal Panache. More musical than the A300 and more alive than the I-5. It will be a very good match for the 3.3s. |
