| Upgrade from CJ Premier 18ls RusI have not heard the 18 for an extended period of time, dealer showroom and I own a 16lsII, so making a direct comparison is difficult. But what I do remember is that my 16lsII produces a deeper soundstage with much more definition (detail) as ... | |
| How often should you re-calibrate your ears? snofun3I agree I am studying classical piano as is my son; my daughter violin and piano. I also think we all need to get out more to support and appreciate the arts. The gift of music is grand.Chuck | |
| Upgrade from CJ Premier 18ls I would suggest a tube pre-amp such as a used cj premier 16 or 17. I do not think a krell pre-amp or any other ss pre-amp is going to give you the qualities you are looking for. I am curious as to what model audioquest cables you were using when y... | |
| phase inverted preamps...about Just what Sogood51 said. Much easier at the speaker end for me.Chuck | |
| What Bryston says about power cord... I believe conrad johnson makes the same comments concerning power cords (use the one supplied). I have upgraded the power cords on my cj amp and pre-amp and have heard no disernable difference in sound. I also upgraded the power cord on my cd play... | |
| Conrad Johnson Primier 16ls1 vs 16ls2 owners... StanGlad I could help. Your question / comment puzzled me since I know quite a few people who are CJ fans and you are the first one I have ever heard make a comment or ask a question concerning short tube life on CJ premier pre-amps.Chuck | |
| Conrad Johnson Primier 16ls1 vs 16ls2 owners... StanI do not know wher you heard all that from but in my experience the CJ premier 16 does not go thru tubes any quicker than any other pre-amp that uses the same tube. I also never heard that about the ART either. I have no direct experience betw... | |
| Playing with the idea of solid state amps I would highly consider CJ's premier 350 it runs warm but not hot. The pass will run quite warm to hot because of circuit topology. Both are exellent amps.Chuck | |
| Wattgate 381 outlet:any comments from the owners? OverhangIn my opinion you will not experience any sonic improvement by replacing your PS Audio power port with a Wattgate 381. As far as power cords go the only sonic improvemet I can honestly say I heard was when I replaced the stock power cord o... | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? I have been told that the small signal tubes do not need to be matched but that the power tubes do unless you can adjust the bias on your amp.Chuck | |
| Which amp next ? I would seriously consider the CJ Premier 350 as well.Chuck | |
| best 6922 for Sonic Frontiers Power 2 se. I can't speak for sonic frontiers but I like the Electro Harmonics gold pin 6922's in my CJ premier 16lsII. | |
| tube amp info Just to give my two cents worth. I would not leave any tube equipment on 24/7 especially amps and pre-amps. SS pre-amps are fine left on 24/7 as are ss cd players; I would not leave ss amps on 24/7. I have all CJ components (tube pre and ss amp) a... | |
| Testicle Tumor foxtrotI have a friend who had both removed and is doing just great? Hang in there and think positive thoughts. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Good Luck.Chuck | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects In my system AZ is the only other cable I have found that competes well with AQ. But having said that your listening preferences may be different than mine. The cable company is a good suggestion as you can try different cabling and choose what wo... |
