| How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp I've ran my DNA 500 through a Hydra 2 and preferred itthat way over running it straight into the wall.

| CJ sound I had a CJ Premier 17LS for a few years. I would describeits sound as more laid back compared to some others inits class. It does respond well to tube rolling but eventhen it wont have that "in your face" sound.Cmach | |
| The final Act in a study in preamps the ART 3 Hi Brent,I was not even aware that CJ was making a ART 3. Whats thedifference between the ART 2 and 3? Is the ART 3 still usingthe 6922 tubes? Keep us updated. Both the ACT 2.2 and ART 3are way out of my reach but its nice to hear real worldreview... | |
| New Loudspeakers Takashic,You mentioned you owned the Pinyons. What was your impressionof them? Did you have a chance to compare them to othermonitors? I may be looking to replace my B&W Sig 805s inthe near future and the Pinyons have sparked my interest.Thank... | |
| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier One amp you might consider is the Moscode 401HR. Itsa hybrid amp that has many of the qualities of good tubeamp. I'm using it on my Signature 805's with great results.It replaced the well respected DNA 500. You can auditionit for 30days and if you... | |
| New Powersupply for Modwright owners Walersala, the cost of the upgrade was less than $500.Well worth the cost IMO. Mattybumpkin, the new PS is superior to the old one inevery category. Its not even close IMO. More detail, betterresolution, more air between instruments. The new PS ad... | |

| C-J MF2250a vs. MF2500a, any sonic difference? I have listened to the MF2500A on many occasions and itsa nice amp. The A revsion is quieter with better detail and is more transparent over the previous 2500. It's stillvery musical as you would expect with a CJ. I have notheard the 2250 but I do... | |
| Amp for B&W Sig 805 The Mac/B&W combo is supposed to have nice synergy. Youmay be on to something with the MC275. Good luck.Cmach | |
| Amp for B&W Sig 805 I'm running my Sig 805's with a McCormack DNA 500. My previousamp was a BAT VK500 which was nice but I found the DNA 500 to be a considerable upgrade over the BAT. Myexperience with the Sigs is that the more quality power/current you throw at them... | |
| BAT VK-200 Burn-in time? I had a VK 500 for a while. If I remember correctly ittook about 50 hours for things to mellow down and loosenup a bit. At 100 hours it was really beginning to sing.Hang in there.Cmach | |
| Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES Bbilikoi,I think some of that brightness and hardness may have todo with the stock Tung Sols. I have replaced the TungSols on my Modwright with a pair of Sylvanias and theymade a big difference. They have all the extension of theTung Sols without ... | |
