| What is the most difficult component to upgrade KF I agree, the preamp has always made the biggest difference in my system the amp was second with source (digital) third. The toughest thing for me to spend additional upgrade money is cables. One I got to a certain level of cable any upgrade had... | |
| I am looking to upgrade my amp and preamp. I am using a CJ MF2500 with a 16ls II and Thiel 3.6's and am very happy with the combination. I upgraded from the 17 ls. The only reason I sold it was because a friend made me an offer I could not refuse and I got a good buy on the 16ls. The sound... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. Tubes are simply superior to solid state; boy that should get them going. I from tubes (CJ Premier 11a) to ss (MF2500) and felt I lost some inner detail but gained some bass. However, my tube amp was only 70 wpc and my ss is 250 which may explain ... | |
| Best tube amp for my system ---- 1k used???? I would suggest a Conrad Johnson MV55 or stretch a bit and get a Premier 11a if you can find one. Although the premier 11a is probably closer to two grand used; outstanding amp though. | |
| Want a 5 channel amp that can drive 4 ohm loads You should consider a Conrad Johnson MF5600. The whole MF line has no problem driving 4 or even 2 ohm loads | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Whenever you place an ad to sell an item you should not be suprised when you receive low offers. A simple courtesy e-mail is all the response that is required. I have sold a couple of houses thru realators as well as one on my own and received off... | |
| I need advise on amp upgrade. I would vote for either the pass x-250 or cj mf2500a. | |
| Reasonable preamps with phono stage I second Hermans recommendation for the Conrad Johnson PV10B excellent tubed preamp with tubed phono stage. You simply will do no better for the price. The other suggestors are correct that CD is the medium of choice for most people; so why pay fo... | |
| Any George Winston fans to make suggestions? December is very good; I also like autumn. | |
| Solid State equivalents of CJ Premier 17LS? I agree with you Jman. I replaced my 17 with a 16 and have not looked back. But, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do away with the tubed 17 and go to ss. Tubes in a preamp are not a hassle and the sound is simply sublime. | |
| Solid State equivalents of CJ Premier 17LS? I believe CJ makes a solid state equivalent. I am not sure of the model but it is a ss preamp and carries the premier designation. | |
| Queen any one ??? I liked their stuff as well. A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races were my favorites. You can get "A Day at the Races" on Mobile Fidelity Gold at Elusive Disc. Their web site is elusivedisc.com. I believe the quantities are limited and it is... | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Let the music(data) be your guide not some preconceived notion of why something can't sound as good because of the manufacturer or looks or etc, etc. You have in fact determined the outcome(mentally) before the experiment has even begun. There are... | |
| What is the finest SACD's you ever heard? Flemke, I agree she takes you to another realm these MoFo discs are simply unreal. I have both modern cool and night club in SACD format and both are wonderful;well worth their price. I was a little reluctant to buy them since I already owned mode... | |
| What is the finest SACD's you ever heard? Patricia Barber on Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD if you like her work these discs are as reel as it gets. Jacintha on the Groove Note label also Hybrid SACD is a great choice. Both artists are female jazz vocalists. |
