| 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... | |
| Power Amp to Match CJ Premier 17LS I have owned the 17LS for a couple of years before upgradingto the CJ CT5. My 17LS worked well with a BAT VK500 andmy current McCormack DNA 500. I agree with Czbbcl that youshould not write off anohter CJ amp. Take a look at aCJ MF2500A (make sure... | |
| Velodyne DD: 10 or 12? From what I have seen on my friends DD-12 the finishseems pretty durable. Of course if your concerned aboutfinger prints and other blemishes the Cherry would bethe better choice. Cmach | |
| Velodyne DD: 10 or 12? Hi Kck,I have had a DD-10 setup for music only in my 12x12 room.I love it and have been very impressed with its performance.A friend of mine recently got a DD-12. Its a wonderful suband its noticably stronger in the bass region than theDD-10 as yo... | |
| Upgrade from CJ Premier 18ls I agree with Czbbcl. A used 17LS, 17LS2 or a 16LS would give you everything your looking for and then some.I had my 17LS for a couple of year before switching tothe CJ CT5 and enjoyed it a lot. I do recommend replacingthe stock tubes though. Good ... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? Are these new speakers? If so they will require a certainamount of time to break in. My Sig 805's were a bitharsh at first too. Another thing to look at would beyour speaker cables and interconnects. Try swapping themand see how that affects thing... | |
| Anyone listen to the new Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp I believe the retail price for the CT5 is $7500Cmach | |
| Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS? I would definetly recommend switching the stock tubes.As Tvad posted earlier he let me borrow a set of Philipsminiwats and the difference they made was amazing. The Philips were much quieter and had better bass extension. The midrange was more def... | |
| Audio Aero Prima CD player vs.Modwright Sony 999es I own the Sony Modwright 999ES and have been extremelypleased with it. I purchased my Modwright from FrankStuppel at FS Audio. He also happens to sell the Audio Aero line as well. According to Frank the Modwrightis easily comparable to the Prima. ... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV10AL or PV10BL Preamp? I had a PV 10A. It was a my first tube pre-amp.Did some tube rolling and had a lot of fun with it.It does have a classic tube sound. Rolled off top,bottom end is a little soft and lush mid-range.My understanding is that the PV-10B is the upgradedv... | |
| Subwoofer choice with B&W 805 Signatures? I'm currently using a Velodyne DD-10 with my Sig 805's.Overall I am very pleased. The sub adds more depth and and presence to my system. The S805's sound a bitthin when I leave the sub off. The next plan is to addanother sub but I'm pretty excited... |
