| Pre-Amp sound similar to Conrad Johnson GooneWhy what is the big deal about XLR? If you enjoy the CJ sound then enjoy it and don't worry about XLR/RCA.Chuck | |
| 2nd amp or one bigger amp? Timo is correct, that you will have to be sure the devices match, which is why I suggested the CJ combo. Call Knut at CJ if you are considering this route. He will be more than happy to answer your questions or make a suggestion. Depending on the ... | |
| 2nd amp or one bigger amp? Sounds like you are hooked on tubes and I can understand why you would be. However, if you are not then you might want to consider one of Conrad Johnson's solid state amps like the MF2500 (used) or MF2250. Or another option; I believe Martin Logan... | |
| Krell and CJ? I have not heard the Krell / CJ combo you are asking about. I have heard CJ/Levinson and CJ/Pass and the combination was very good in both cases. It would depend on what Krell amp and what speakers you are talking about. Krell can be rather harsh ... | |
| Leviton 5262 Hospital grade outlets I would purchase PS AUDIO Power Ports available on this site for a very reasonable cost. As I understand it they are basically a modified Hubble 8300. Puruse this topic in forum search here on audiogon for more information.Chuck | |
| Best SACD player under 2,000. This is a no brainer, as others have suggested, the Sony XA777ES.Chuck | |
| SACD - M. Davis - So What JlaSince I only listen to classical and very little jazz the limited selection has not really been an issue for me; yet. Also given the fact that I don't typically buy a lot of software (cd's) anyway. I have been strictly digital since about 1991 ... | |
| SACD - M. Davis - So What My experience has been extremely positive with SACD. I find myself purchasing only SACD's because I find redbook so uninvolving. At this point in time SACD is as close to analog as digital gets (IMO). Of course others will beg to differ and that i... | |
| SACD - Just Starting Out Patricia Barbers, modern cool and night club, on the mobile fidelity label are simply outstanding. Hilary Hahn plays stravinsky and brahms is also very good if you like those two composers. Jacintha, lush life, is also excellent if you like female... | |
| Which power receptacle to use? I would recommend the PS Audio power port. You can find them at a reasonable price on this site. They will not be as inexpensive as the pass & seymore but for the cost they are (IMO) the best one to use. For what you probably paid for your equ... | |
| CJ MF2500 and Audio Aero Capitole? CregaThis would be a very good combination; warm and involving. My thoughs are, not knowing all the details; you would be very pleased.Chuck | |
| Opinions on preamps Have you considered either a Conrad Johnson 16/17 ls? | |
| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? Tubemiser, LakWhich outlets have you compared and then which one did you ultimately settle on.LakPlease do not take what I said personally, I did not mean it that way, you sound like a very nice person. This is after all a hobby that should be enj... | |
| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? LakAs an Engineer I can understand how / why DC-10's fly and aricraft carriers float; although still amazed when I see it. We see it everyday it is easily proven to our visionary (eyes)and auditory (ears) senses. However, differences in sound are ... | |
| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? Lak, HdmWe have been here before;I remain skeptical. However, having said that, I probably should experiment as you suggest. I am currently using Pass & Seymore Hospital grade outlets with a 20 amp dedicated outlet. I believe the dedicated 20 ... |
