| Audio Research Financial Troubles So you'd best choose tube equipment from a company that stands behind their products. Conrad-Johnson and VAC here in Sarasota come to mind. | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles Conrad-Johnson quality has declined? That's an absurd statement made by someone who has no knowledge of C-J and probably has never owned their equipment. Their quality has never been better. I own their latest ART amplifier and have owned their... | |
| You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent? I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned Conrad-Johnson. I've enjoyed their amplification products for the last fifty or so years. C-J's products have constantly improved and held their value. Like VAC here in Sarasota, a high quality design... | |
| Need help from you acoustical experts I think we'd all agree that speakers designed to be close to the back wall are a design compromise to assist people who don't have the room or the WAF. Had some Wilsons with the same issues. That placement increases the natural bass of the speak... | |
| Marantz cd players Had an SA-10 when they first came out and loved it. At the time many of the Sony execs owned them. All good until it quit... as almost any mechanical item might when it wears out. No parts available and big money to repair. Not wanting to spen... | |
| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? On the Wilsons, I'm a Griot's quick detailer fan. Point has been made here, but not too clearly, spay you favorite cleaner on the cloth and apply, not directly on the speaker. Have fun... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights I'm running a Rega Planar 10. They recommend no weight or clamp. Of course the Rega strategy is about the lack of mass. I have an HRS center weight with which I might try a listing test. It's currently holding down my Eight Switch which tends ... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Hey BFP... you must be in Europe, PSAudio has dealers over there. They are direct marketers here in the states. So here’s the deal. Tell your dealer you want that home demo. He won’t take your Sabrina’s when he brings your Sasha’s. So, you can op... | |
| Cable elevators My Wireworld Platinum Eclipse solid silver speaker cables have been up on Shunyata risers and a set of Audioquest risers. I could hear no difference with either set or the floor from the Wilson speakers. Dave Salz of Wireworld says risers make n... | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. The Top Conrad-Johnson GAT2 preamp hand only two tubes. One gain tube per channel. A MOSFET at the output of each channel controlled and lowered the output impedance. Their new unit uses four tubes. A cathode follower on each channel replaces ... | |
| Subwoofer Suggest you look at B&W’s top line of subs, the DB series. My Magico dealer recommended them. My JL Audio f113 sub craped out so needed a replacement. Bought a pair and they are excellent. Easy and fast to integrate with my Wilsons using their... | |
| Question about Shunyata Power Conditioners For many years, I ran an original aluminum box Shunyata Hydra 8. Got a good deal on an AudioQuest Niagara 5000. Could detect no improvement vs. the old Hydra 8. Returned it. Ordered a Shunyata Denali V2. A nice improvement over the Hydra 8. As th... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Best depends on your speakers and electronics. For my Wilsons with Conrad-Johnson's best tube amps it was Nordost Valhalla until I heard the much fuller sound of Wireworld's Platinum Eclipse 8. Really enjoy having both the detail and the richnes... | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? Nobody mentioned B&W... that's odd. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? You should have enough power to drive most of what has been suggested here. I drive my Wilson Yvettes, 86 efficient, with a 36WPC c-j class A amplifier. Jazz and classical. I do use a JS Audio F113 sub. If you want to get your money out of them... |
