| When were the best tube amps made? 40 years ago a Dynaco tube amp got me into his pursuit. There are plenty I haven't heard, but the CJ ART Stereo 150 is the one that I can unconditionally recommend. | |
| CJ's New ART88 Preamp Hi GRK, Thanks Just checked. Nothing there yet, but appreciate the help! | |
| Streamers and their Fuses BrandonHiFi- Good to hear that you were able to upgrade your system at relatively low additional cost. I was a big skeptic on fuses (and power cords) until I heard the differences that they make too! The improvement from stock fuse to SR Purple i... | |
| How long does it take to get a Lyra cartridge? Thank you everyone for the ideas and answers. This this is the help that makes me really appreciate the Audiogon community! | |

| Where did you buy your first audio gear? My family or college roommates always had stereo systems, but in my early twenties when I got my own place I was on my own. Got a Denon receiver and a Dual TT at Harvey's in New York City and a Nakamichi tape deck at Audio breakthroughs in Hunting... | |

| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? Agree with those saying bookshelves plus sub(s) as well put by Soix. Could also consider JL Audio e-112 sub(s) for clean bass foundation. Good Luck! | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? Conrad Johnson Art 150 Stereo Amp. Brought everything to life with good detail, solid mids and bass. | |
| Upgrading Shunyata is my go-to for power cords. Not sure about your system or budget, but if you buy used I'd recommend CX series or better. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Yes this exact situation happened to me. I had an mv55 Conrad Johnson tube amp. I sounded glorious with my JM Labs Daline 2.1's, which were limited range speakers that went down to about 40 hertz. I put the mv55 on a pair of Wilson wp7s and heard ... | |
| Need advice for a replacement phono cartridge +1 on Sound Smith to see if they can repair. They did an amazing job with pa badly damaged Lyra Skala for me. | |
