| 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... | |
| Recommended S S amp with C. J. 17LS2 pre amp I have used my CJ 17LS with both a BAT VK500 andthe McCormack DNA 500. The BAT/CJ was pleasantenough but things really shifted into high gearwith the DNA. More resolution,dynamics,detail andsoundstaging. If you can find one to audtion I wouldrecom... | |
| Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400? I had a Sonograhe SA 400 for about a year. I agreewith everyhting you have said. They often get overlookedbut I think they represent tremendous value in theused amp market. I upgraded my SA 400 to a BAT VK500 andalthough the BAT was better I was s... | |
| To much wattage for B & W 805s ?? I'm running my Sig 805's with McCormack DNA 500. Itswonderful. When people say that B&W's love power theyain't kidding. The more power the better at leastwhen it comes to B&W's. I think your going to reallyenjoy your new amp.Cmach | |
| McCormack DNA 500 Well I feel compelled to respond here. I actually owna DNA 500. I have had mine for about 4 months now. Myprevious amp was a BAT VK500 which I was very happywith. The problem with the BAT was the bulk and thefurnace like heat it pumped out. I will... | |
| B&W 801 Matrix III...which amp to use?? Have you considered the CJ MF2500A. 240W should makeyour 801's happy and it does have a tubish likesound. Another consideration would be a SonographeSA 400. 200W and they can be had for less thana kilo buck on the used market.Good luckCmach |
