| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? When my PV-10 (that I had for 17 years)needed repair (a tube arced and blew it out), I sent it to Bill Thalmann at Music Technology. IN addition to the repairs, I had him do his mod package (which included replacing the original caps with "auricap... | |
| Anyone try this Yanqin tube buffer? If your CD player is connected to the DAC, then you could either use the Yaqin between the DAC and pre-amp, or just put it between your pre-amp and amp (which is what I did with mine). I've never used a DAC, so I don't know exactly what purpose it... | |
| Anyone try this Yanqin tube buffer? I have the one tube version(CD-1), and I am very pleased. I bought it direct from China (total cost $115). It arrived in 9 days (with excellent communication). I did an A/B test, and it definitely adds warmth and an improved sound stage. I replace... | |
| Nice, affordable combo Thanks. The lights don't bother me (it's not that close to where I sit). I personally think it looks pretty cool (particularly in the dark), but I can see why it wouldn't be for all tastes. It did take a short time to get used to. The USP-1 has mo... | |
| Nice, affordable combo Speaking of this combo, I'm curious regarding people's experience with the "break in" period for audio equipment. I've read varying opinions on this subject. I'm particularly interested in the experiences of anyone who has the Emotiva USP-1. I fin... | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? My experience in comparing the signatures to the 2 Ce's I used to have is that they are just a little better all the way around. Similar sound, but better in detail (both bass and treble), higher highs and lower lows. They still have the same over... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm awfully happy with my Classe 15, and will never replace it unless it dies. Very strong, but also a bit on the warm side (which I prefer). | |
| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? I have Vandersteen 2CE signatures (and used to have 2CE's). I had a Conrad Johnson PV-10 with an Adcom 555 (then replaced the amp with a Classe 15 - big improvement). I now have the Emotiva USP-1 pre-amp (with a Yaqin tube buffer between the pre a... | |
| Hum X for CJ PV-10? Thanks, I think I will e-mail CJ. | |
| Hum X for CJ PV-10? Well, that's great info - but I need to know the output amps. The Hum X can only be used with a maximum of 6 amps output. I can't find that info regarding the CJ anywhere. Thanks for trying! | |
| CJ PV-10 no sound Thanks to Gary G., I'm sending it up to Tom in North Florida. He seems like a great guy, and really knows his stuff. Maybe I'll get a few good mods done to boot. Thanks for the all the feedback... | |
| preamp vs. no-preamp I'm reviving a VERY old thread to ask a question. What about a cassette deck in between the CD player and amp? Due to my CJ blowing out, I temporarily ran the CD player (an X-Ray, which has no volume control) through my NAK 670zx (which does have ... | |
| CJ PV-10 no sound I don't know how to do any of that, and there is no hi-fi shop in my area. Hopefully I can find someone to go over it for a reasonable price. Thanks. | |
| CJ PV-10 no sound It sounds a little like when you accidentally shut the pre-amp off when the amp is still on, but not as bad. No sound in the speakers whatsoever after that. | |
| CJ PV-10 no sound I tried switching out the tubes. I'm getting a pop when the preamp would usually kick in (similar to the one you get if you shut the preamp off while the amp is still on? All the tubes test OK, including the ones that I put in that appeared to blo... |
