| Wadia 151 + Dynaudio X12... what speaker cable? I have a 151 in a second system with monitors. Once it burns in (300 hours), it is more dynamic than you think an amp of its size will be. I suggest using a better wire than you initially anticipate. I am using Jorma #3. I can also recommend Crims... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp Brawny is correct in that there shoul be no noticable differnce in power or actaul loudness. I refer to my original comment, try changing speaker wires. The Cardas may be too polite. | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp I suggest that you call the Cable Company and try out different speaker wire combinations before you go crazy over the amp. There is no disagreement that you can keep the Opus 21 and move up the amp food chain. But to do that, you will need to spe... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp I have a full RA system as my second system using the s30 amp which is not a digital amp. A lot of rock music is engineered differently than other music, so that is one consideration. The system is not lacking in musicality or detail. It will play... | |
| Herron VSTP 1A /166 describe sound Read the reviews on the Herron website, they tell it like it is. | |
| speaker cables between Pass and Penaudio Our initial listening with MIT was 5 years ago and I cannot remember which model we spent time with but I do remember a very cohesive and music presenation. Detail, smooth, musical. Highly listenable. I will send you an updated recommendation. Nev... | |
| speaker cables between Pass and Penaudio MIT also works well. Sorry for the omission. | |
| speaker cables between Pass and Penaudio We use Jorma Design inside the speakers. Given the amp-speaker combination, you will want a wire that is more neutral sounding. At 6 feet you should be able to get almost any wire within your price range. Consider Audience AU24e, Analysis Plus, Cr... | |
| Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55 The MV60SE does not have teflon caps. It is an amazing transformation. More detail. More music. More open. Quieter, smoother. It will sound like a new amp 10+ times better. But it takes 200 hours to burn in the new caps. A wait very much worth whi... | |
| CJ preamp good match with Ayre amps? Go for the ET3 SE. It will be a better match. Also consider Herron. | |
| Power cord for CJ MF2500A The "hospital cord" is very good. It is comparable to other power cords in the $1000 range. If you are handly with a soldering iron you can change out the stock cord for the CJ hospital cord. As once asked, where are you located? | |
| Conrad Johnson MV60SE vs. Audio Research VS55 You can now have the caps in the MV 60 upgraded to teflon and that will take you close to CJ premier level performance. If you have the MV 60 consider all the upgrades. | |
| Power cord for CJ MF2500A Install or have CJ install the IEC. CJ includes a very good power cord with their amps and I am surprised that you have the A version and do not have an IEC. They will also sell their power cord which is 8' long. ESP (Essential Sound Products) mak... | |
| Preamp Recommendations for Bedini 25/25 Good question: Herron versus CJ. I loved my CJ Premier 18, yet the reviewers said that the 16 LS 2 was better-- maybe it was because it was a tubed CJ. Who knows. The Herron preamp is as everyone has described it... it sounds more like music. The ... | |
| Preamp Recommendations for Bedini 25/25 I had a 25/25 years ago so I can only share some historical perspective with present day speculation. I had a buffered line stage from Stan Warren (Superphon) that I paired with a Threshold phone stage. I then moved to the matching Threshold line ... |
