| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? I recently heard a Levinson 335 amp with a pair of Revel Ulimate salon's. All Cabling was with Transparent Audio and the associated gear was a 380s preamp, NO. 37 transport and 360S DAC. I listened to this rig for quite awhile and was impressed by... | |
| Best 6922 or variant for Conrad-Johnson 16LS ? Steve,The Mullard is a great tube and is no slouch, but the bass is not up to the Tungsram in my opinion. The tungsrams bass is top notch. This may be due to the fact that the tube is a little laid back in my system. Has a great balanced presentat... | |
| Best 6922 or variant for Conrad-Johnson 16LS ? Brandon,Do you have a MK I LS16 or a MK II. I have the MK I and am thinking of upgrading. Is the upgrade worth the $500.00?thanks,JOhnny | |
| Best 6922 or variant for Conrad-Johnson 16LS ? Brandon,Follow this link. Scroll down almost to the bottom of the page. He does not list a price, but I think they are $35.00 a piece. Don't hold me on that price, because it's been awhile.http://www.tubeman.com/itmidx1.htmHope this helps,Johnny | |
| Best 6922 or variant for Conrad-Johnson 16LS ? Steve,I have a premier 16LS. I really like the Tungsram ECC88. Has a great overall presentation that is similar to the Sovtek factory tubes but has no graininess. Also has a tout bass response. If you want a little livlier presentation try the Mul... | |

| CJ Premier 12 Mono's w/ Nautilus 802's Steve,Yes, it would seem you have a dilema. C-J rates their amps into 4 ohms. The premier 12 is rated at 140 watts into 4 ohms and about 110 watts into 8 ohms. You could buy another amp to biwire, but It would be tricky to match the input impedanc... | |

| Kimber Illuminations D-60, proper length I too have a Kimber illuminations D-60. It is a 1.5 meter RCA to RCA. I have visited the hellohifi.com page which states optimum length being from 1.5 meters to 4 meters in the rca to rca run. In the BNC to BNC and XLR to XLR configuration he reco... | |
| Greatest sonic impact: cables or ICs In my system the greatest impact was in speaker cable. I went from Original Monster Cable to Harmonic Technology Pro 9 pluses which was like a totally different front end was placed in my system. The one downside is the break in time of a new cabl... | |
