| Mcintosh MC 1201 ? Hot or Cool EricpHow hot do the X600's get? I would hope not as hot as a tube amps get. I have been considering a pair(used) to drive my Thiels and heat is an issue for me. Do you know if the X350 gets hot as well? I have no direect experience with Mcintosh b... | |

| Wife approval factor? Bbaxley2I have considered using that method as well, as I have a friend who has on severl occasions suggested it, but have not followed through with it. I guess I would rather face the music so to speak than undermine our relationship. Out of curr... | |
| Pass X150 or CJ MF 2500,,, RaytheprinterCool; I hope it works out for you.Chuck | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube Just a quick update:I contacted both Thiel and Conrad Johnson and asked their opinion concerning which of these two amps they would recommend to drive my Thiel 3.6's. Both manufacturers recommended the Premier 350 over the 140. Primarily because T... | |
| Conrad johnson MF2300 A The 2300a is a very nice amp. But for not much more than than 1500 dollars you can by a used 2500a which is a more modern design. Just my thoughtsChuck | |
| Elton John SACD releases I just bought Madmann Across the Water and Elton John. I am listening to Elton John as I right this and I love this album. It ticks(pisses) me off that I have lived this long being an EJ fan and have never heard this album. This SACD Hybrid is sim... | |
| Sleeper preamps: $500 new/used I second the vote for the Conrad Johnson PV10 tubed pre-amp.Chuck | |
| Cary 300B SET Mono's ? DillyWhile I can not comment directly on your dilema. It has been my experience that the cost / benefit ratio is a logrithmic scale. Meaning that you are going to pay much more for smaller improvements in performance as you go up the scale. Where ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube ZaikesmanThanks for the information. I have also heard the same comment. Chuck | |
| Conrad-Johnson Premier 11a-a good used amp? BrainwaterBoy, I couldn't agree more. CJ designs just have a musicality about them that I believe most others simply can not match. As they say "It Just Sounds Right." So what amps are you buying it sounds like a pair of Premier 140's in monobloc.... | |
| Wife approval factor? In the end I usually get what I want buy just simply buying it. Something about begging for forgiveness versus asking for permission. Chuck | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube JerryDo the Mac's generate a lot of heat? You've got me thinking along those lines as well. I love tube amps but the heat and maintainence issues are a concern as is the power output. The premier 350 and the mc501's are very similar in price. My l... | |
| Conrad-Johnson Premier 11a-a good used amp? I owned one and loved it. I was driving a pair of Thiel 3.6's and it wasn't quite enough power for them hence the reason for selling. However mid to high end detail was supberb with only the bass end lacking a bit. I listen to primarily classical ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? RsbeckWell said and my thoughts exactly. As larsky and I have traded e-mails discussing the pros and cons of Thiel speakers. People hear what they hear and it really doesn't matter what their opinion is as long as you enjoy it. If we listen to mus... |
