Power Cord for my McCormack DNA-500
MdconnellyVoodoo makes an IEC adapter that will allow you to use any 15 amp IEC power cord you wish for your DNA 500. I use one on my premier 350 which also has a 20amp IEC with a PS Audio Statement extreme power cord.http://www.voodoocable.net/VA... 
Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS?

Dedicated power,long power cords - waste of time?
TvdNo problem but that was the point of my comment that I heard very little if any improvement. I installed the dedicated circuit because it was easy. I was busy wiring my basement and figured why not. I ended creating a ground loop on my CD playe... 
Dedicated power,long power cords - waste of time?
TvadI agree with your comment concerning blacker background as that is the goal with dedicated lines. But please do not take my comments out of context as I stated "MAYBE a blacker background" not definite. And given Rgd's situation it may not be ... 
Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS?
ShuangI use the gold pined EH6922's in my premier 16 and I am very satisfied with them. I can not comment as to their sonic superiority over the non gold pined. You can buy the gold pined ($15.99) and non gold pined ($8.99) 6922's by a venfor on t...

RgdI installed a dedicted line for my equipment and did not hear a substantial improvement; maybe a blacker backgroound. So IMO depending on the quality of your power; mine is pretty good, you may or may not hear an impact. I would, if you havn't ... 
Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ?

A simple question from the new guy ....
I have an audiophile friend who is into vinyl he has a JA Micheal Gyrodec, SME tone arm (I think), benz micro glider cartridge and cj ev-1 phono amp. I have listened to it and "Yes" you will still get the clicks and pops and surface noise in "gene...

Future of DVD-A

Wilson Puppy 6 vs Wilson Puppy 7
I am not currently a fan of either as I have listened to both on several occasions but the 7's are much better IMO than the 6's. Primarily in dynamics and better defined bass and high end extension.Chuck 
help with s.s. amp upgrade
I second Raytheprinters recommendation pertaining to the cj MF2500A. I utilized one to drive a pair of thiels before moving on to a cj premier 350 and it was a very musical amp. Should be a great match up with your AR pre-amp.

I have an SCD-1 and have player various CDR's on it. My recent brand are some philips cheap-o's. Not sure what your question is asking? Is it concerning your inability to play some or all CDR's on your 777es?Chuck 
Conrad johnson solid versus tube preamps
From what little comparison I have done I would say that their ss and tube pre-amps have similar sonic signitures.Chuck
