| How to tame a bright system? Aniwolf +1 While cost isn’t everything, it is something. An ok $599streamer into a $2.5k interconnect and $12.6k DAC means that you are hearing everything (good and bad) that the streamer is producing. Put another way, at $599 they can only spen... | |
| How do you enhance a bad listening room's accoustics without breaking the bank? thoughts? The best room treatment for me was done by accident! My parents had a very dense hand-woven wool rug that they didn’t use anymore. Cost them around $5-6k and is beautiful so I didn’t want to get rid of it. It was nearly the size of my listening r... | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? dcpillai, It seems pretty evident from this thread that break in matters in Siltech cable performance. I use Siltech's and have found that even used ones need a good 50 hours to settle in after they've been moved /shipped.I'm curious what you have... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? This is a massively complex question. It sounds like you want to build a high end system from scratch which can be a big job, particularly with the reduced number of dealers. I'd find an audio dealer whose taste runs to your own and begin the work... | |

| What did I buy? A regular CJ EV1 or a teflon capacitor upgraded EV1 Yes, you can call CJ and ask if they've upgraded that unit. Have the serial number handy. | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? I would like to add to the CJ Art Stereo 150 wpc tube amp that made me stop looking.....I started putting my current system together in earnest in about 1994 and in a few years I had a CJ PV12 pre-amp, MV-55 tube amp, Rega Planar 3 w/ Exact cart, ... | |
| Sub placement How have you set the phase delay on your subwoofer?. I have a feeling that the reason you like the placement (further back from the speakers) now is because you've got the phase delay matched at that distance so that the subwoofer signal is in pha... | |
| Thinking of adding a sub---maybe not? I would also suggest that you consider JL Audio subs. I use a pair of e112's that are great, but your dealer can help pick the best for your system. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? So many good ones listed already. My favorite: Glenfiddich 12 neat | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? CJ Art Stereo 150Tube bliss. | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? I own some other components, but have been especially loyal to these brands:Conrad Johnson. I've had several pre amps and amps and love the CJ sound. Plus great customer service.Shunyata for PC's that really enhance a system. Have had great experi... | |

| Noise issues that can’t be corrected. Double pane windowns helped soften outside noises in our home. After that we just turn up the volume. |
