| Review: Conrad Johnson Premier-17LS Tube preamp Great article. I too have become addicted to C-J products. I have moved up the chain steadily as well. I have owned, MV-75, Premier 5's, Premier 12's. I have owned the PV-10AL, PV-12L, PFR, Premier 16LS and finally the combo that I have now. The A... | |
| Pre-amps Conrad Johnson PV-10AL vs PV-12AL I have owned both the PV-10AL as well as the PV-12L. Both are excellent units. The PV-10 is a little more polite. It sounds a little warmer and not as extended in the high frequencies. It also lacks the focus of the PV-12L. The PV-12 sounds more e... | |

| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? My faves are the following:1. Hales Design Group. I am biased because I own T-8's. But still bang for buck was very high.2. Cello Music Systems. I heard a pair of the Performance II monoblocks and I was impressed.3. Genesis Technologies. The 1.1's... | |

| Which would you buy? Hello,This really depends on what you are going to do with the processor. Do you have a preamp or is this unit going to be a preamp for 2 channel as well as Home theatre. If this is the only preamp you will be utilizing then I would buy the EAD. I... | |
| Shipping Egglestons without boxes Take my word for it. Buy the crates for the speakers. I recently had a moving company make crates and ship the speakers. The speakers were severely damaged in shipping and a long headache has ensued.hope this helps,Johnny | |

| Speaker Hum try plugging all the equipment into the same wall outlet. If necessary purchase a outlet strip. Sounds like you have a ground loop. You can also try reversing the polarity of the plug. | |
| Most compatable amp for ACI Sapphire III I echo the tube option. Offerings such as the VAC Avatar, Conrad Johnson CAV-50, and Audio Research CA-50 would sound great.Johnny | |
| Amp suggestions I have some extensive experience with Dynaudio speakers. They tend to need amps that put out alot of current. Dynaudio, I believe uses Simm Audio. The Moon W-5 would seem an excellent match. Also look at BAT VK-500, Threshold, Krell, Rowland et al... | |

| Speaker positioning? You may want to try tweeter rings. They are felt rings that you adhere to the tweeter flange. they really help.also you may want to experiment more with cables. Select a slightly warmer sounding cable such as Cardas.Hope this helps,Johnny |
