| conrad johnson vs Mac I might add that both companies make excellent products and you would not go wrong with either one. However, they are both completely different products with their own unit traits. And as Arthur suggested you can always resell it for what you paid... | |
| conrad johnson vs Mac I have owned the MF2500A never owned any MAC equipment but have heard many pieces as I have a couple of dealers in my area and one sold Conrad Johnson. In my opinion Mac has been uninvolving and not as musical as Conrad Johnson which is why I have... | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? Janis001Explain blow the Thiels away. I just listened to a pair of Wilson Audio Maxx's and I would not say they even blew my 3.6's away let alone 6.0's. Now I admitt I have not heard Von Schweikerts and maybe they are that good. But I do know how ... | |
| Which Conrad Johnson pre is a step-up from PFR? Well I started my journey with the PV10al and did not stop until I arrived at the premier 16lsII. It is simply an amazing pre-amp and yes I have heard a few through the years. As for your situation I would recommend the premier 14 (old school) and... | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? I am in agreement with pops. And sorry I meant throw a large deep soundstage. I too must have been lucky with system matching because I am very pleased with the sound of my system.Chuck | |
| Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy? My Thiels (3.6's) through a very large deep soundstage and are not harsh or bright in any manner; not fatiguing in any way. I have simply not experienced what Jafox is describing. Are they detailed yes without a doubt this is another aspect I like... | |
| Somebody Help Convert me to tubes DewinkleI would recommend a conrad johnson premier tube pre-amp something like the 17 or maybe a 16 or older 14. Not sure what your budget is. The rest of your system looks to be very good. A tubed pre-amp from cj would make your system much more ... | |
| Thiel and tubes TreljaThe Zeuss I believe is 200wpc at that power rating tubes work great with Thiels. Very involving with lots of detail and a deep wide soundstage. It is not that Thiels do not work well with tubes; they do. Thiels just need large amounts of qua... | |
| Thiel and tubes TiggerpoohRead my thread titled "Conrad Johnson Premier 350ss vs Premier 140". Should give you a pretty good idea of Thiels and power requirements.Chuck | |
| Wife approval factor? SbachmanHilarious.........but unfortunatley true. However, some wives are are very understanding..........JUST NOT MINE.Chuck | |
| Thiel and tubes No, with the 1.6's which I believe is more efficient than there other speakers this would still not be enogh juice. You might get away with 60-70 Watts ie Conrad Johnson Premier 11a or MV 60SE, but not 10watts (IMO). I only used Conrad Johnson for... | |
| Used Pre-amp advise please.... You should be able to get a PV-10b line stage for what you are looking to spend. However I would try to move up to a Premier 10 or 14 if you can swing it financially. As someone said I would not worry to much about vintage as CJ still services eve... | |
| Critiques of Equipment FWIW I have never heard as much of a difference between digital front ends as I expected. I have heard a few over the years and have always walked away thinking is it me or what. People slam certain players and say this smokes that or vise versa b... | |
| Critiques of Equipment NewbeeAbsolutely not, quite the opposite the poster makes an excellent point. I was just making a general comment concerning how emotional some people get when they comment about or critique a piece of equipment. At some point, not always, someone... | |
| Cj experts: advice sought I understand the premier 14 which is similar to the 10 but has a remote is a very nice non-current model. You can always try it and sell it if it isn't what you are looking for. The Pemier series of pre-amps is built to a higher standard and is co... |
