| VPI vs. SOTA VPI and Sota are both great brands. You can buy refurbished Sota directly from them... call to see what she's got in house. You might also call the elusivedisc folks who are really good at this and exceptionally fair to deal with. Also, I note ... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Agree with much of what has been said here. A bit of twist in the response... equipment quality is more important to the ultimate sound quality in the preamp, whatever you use. Getting the magic sound of tubes is more significant in the power amp.... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification You should audition conrad-johnson tube amps. I've used various models for 30 years and all were excellent. Enjoy the quest and the music. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? To the "no one has ever lost an amp comment, my friends at Conrad-Johnson tell me that when an amp comes in for service, aftermarket fuses are the first thing they check. Inevitably, the AM Fuse not responding correctly is the cause of the proble... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? I think all agree that Mr. Pass is an excellent designer. Not suggesting you should change anything, but modern c-j amplifiers are just that bit more linear. Some miss the golden sound, while most enjoy the expanded accuracy. And, don't you mis... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? LinnLingo... Mr. Johnson, Lew, heard of your earlier comment and wanted to make it clear that he is very much with us and doing just fine. In fact he is working harder and doing more daily to support the company since the sale to Jeff than he has ... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? jafant... yes, everything was purchased new. That was a while ago however and I still use it regularly. It's very powerful. BTW, for anybody who'd interested, the c-j LP140 monos came with 6550 power tubes. After a few years and at the suggest... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? Hey jafant,Speakers are Wilson Yvette (a nice upgrade from Sasha 1), most cables are Wireworld silver over copper, a JA Audio f113 sub, Marantz SA7 S1 CD/SACD, Ayre QB9 DAC, Shunyata power conditioning, Magnum Dynalab Tuner, MacBook Pro running Ti... | |
| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? I've owned most c-j pre and power amps since the Premier days, both solid state and tube. Currently running a GAT pre, LP140 monos, a Premier 350 and the TEA1bc phono. I know the company well... Bill and Lew are two very smart guys, both PHDs. ... | |
| Intigrated Amp Dilemma Stereo5,I don't know your equipment but have just learned a great deal about room size. We moved to Florida three years ago and my system went from a 13x20x8 living room to a 20x30x12 room and was completely lost in that space. Had to move up to... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Wilson and Magico can't be bi amped as those companies put a great deal of time and money into the design of their crossovers and how they work with their drivers. In their case much of the money your spending is for that resulting sound. So maybe... | |
| Tidal free trial subscription For a better classical catalog than Tidal, try Qobuz. In fact, quite different selection with music not allowed to be streamed in the US.It's a hassle to get in at first, but you can find your way through with a bit of work. Once in you select E... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? Back to JS Audio in Bethesda, MD... I've had wonderful experience with them. Over some years, bought three sets of Wilson speakers, a High End sub, a top Ayre DAC. They came to the house and packed up my WP7 speakers taken in trade to deliver an... | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... Also... the P350 has only single ended (not balanced) inputs while the Pass is balanced I believe so you'll want to consider cables and matching the output of the preamp when you make your second purchase of a pre. | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... I own a Premier 350 and find it anything but old sounding. The amp has been a number of reviewers "reference" piece. They need to change to have a current model item for appearances but tend to hold on to the P350. It's my backup amp for my c-j... |
