| 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... | |
| Used Wolcotts I do belive that is the only mod.here is the Internet site.http://www.elan-gmk.com/wolcott/index.htm | |
| Cardas or Harmonic Technology I have had both in my system and I like the Cardas Golden Reference better in my system. I have a Cj Premier 16LS and a pair of Premier 8A's running a pair of Hales T8's. The HT seem to sound a bit grainy to my ears whereas the Cardas cables seem ... | |
| 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... | |

| Hales? MIA or what Hales is gone forever. As noted above Paul Hales has been enticed to QSC to develop Pro Audio gear. Paul supposedly has a lucritive conract and the latitude to develop his ideas in the Pro Audio world. In the Stereophile news it is stated that QSC... | |
| c-j Premier 9 DAC and 6GK5's tubes. Call Kevin Deal at upscale audio. He should be able to point you in the right direction. I believe he prefers the Mullard tube. http://www.upscaleaudio.com/index-2.htm | |
| C J 11a VS 12s does the 12s sound better I owned a pair of 12's and have heard the 11A. In my opinion the 12's sound much better. The added power seems to work magic. It may be the fact that I like my music a bit bass heavy but the 12's do satisfy. CJ 12's on female vocals are hard to be... |
