| sound of new CJ vs AR tube preamps? I can't comment on the Audio Research stuff but the 17LSdoes have a warmer sound. Its a bit rolled off on the topand bottom but does have nice midrange. I would say the17LS strives to more musical than accurate. Cmach | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand I owned the Bachs for a year or so. These were the olderseries and not the new Grand Series. I agree withthe previous posts, the Bachs are warm sounding speakers.I also found them to be very particular when it cameto postitioning. It took a while ... | |

| Powercords for CJ CT-5 I was going to recommend different IC's but it lookslike you have gone down that road already. For whatits worth I did hear a pair of PA Venustas in mysystem for a short listening session. They definetlyadded some warmth and midrange bloom. Quite ... | |
| Powercords for CJ CT-5 Downunder, How many hours do you have on your CT-5? In my experiencethe first 100 hours or the CJ can sound a bit tightand constricted. According to Lew Johnson it takes atleast 200 hours before things start sounding right. Atthe 500 hour mark its... | |

| Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2 I have used a CJ Premier 17LS and am now using the CJ CT-5.Both worked without a problem. Cmach | |
| Speaker cables which bring out more bass? I'll throw my hat in here as well. I'm using a pair of Revelation Audio Testament speaker cables and definetlynoticed an improvement in bass. Not just more of it butbetter defintion as well. Very quiet as well.Cmach | |
| Is it worth changing from B&W N805 to the 805S? Elizabeth,Have you heard anything as to when the 805D's mightbe released?Cmach | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? I've used a CJ 17LS on my BAT VK500 without a problem.This would be a nice combo if you like a more relaxedand slightly laid back sound. If your considering aCJ preamp I would recommend a listen to the CJ CT-5.I just replaced my 17LS with the CT-5... | |
| Tube preamp with DNA-500 I agree with Chuck on this one. My current pre-amp isa CJ CT5 and the two match very well together.My previous pre-amp was the CJ Premier 17LS and it dida repespectable job too. I find the new CJ pre-ampsto be better fit sonically for the 500 than... | |
| Velodyne DD's flying out of owners' houses Well I have owned a DD-10 for a couple of years andhave had no problems with it all. I let a friend ofmine borrow my sub for a few weeks. He was so impressedwith it that he went out and purchased a DD-10 for himself.About 2 weeks later he had a pr... | |
| McCormack DNA-225 Platinum and McCormack DNA-500 If I remember correctly the stock DNA 500 includes all the mods already in the Platinum upgrade and then some. Also I do believe that the DNA 500 is a different amp from the 125/225 series. That being said I don't think youcould go wrong with eith... | |
| Velodyne DD: 10 or 12? Yeah I have heard that as well. Its nonsense. I reallydon't understand why Velodyne says stuff like that. It undermines what are IMO great products. If your leaningtoward a DD-10 or 12 don't hesitate. They are excellentsubwoofers despite what Velo... |
