| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table I agree with BRF/lewm to get it tuned up first and listen for a while. It's a nice table.You might also want to consider the Kore subchassis upgrade right up front. That's about $1,200. Just did that on my 15 year old LP12 and the difference is ex... | |
| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? If you're buying new speakers let her choose the color / finish. That way she's in charge of the décor. Worked for me with some boxy speakers that otherwise have a low WAF. She still loves how they look. Good luck. | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE Do you have a cable box anywhere in the house? From what I've seen, it doesn't need to be physically connected to the preamp/receiver to put the hum into the system. A ground loop isolator on the cable line worked for me. I used a TII 220 by TII N... | |
| Meadowlark Blue Heron - gas tweeter leak problem? Hi Michael, Your info on the HD3P replacement is very helpful. I have Meadowlark BH's with that now-deflated tweeter.How were you able to remove the HD3P's? I removed the screws, tried to wedge them out, put a hair dryer on to melt the gasket and ... | |
| here is my delima............ Hi Kennesawjet, I'm glad you worked it out. Thanks for the info on the Tara cables.The reason I asked was because I had a "missing" midrange problem too. In my case it had to do with the jumpers I was using on my speakers. The speakers have separa... | |
| Best amp for Meadowlark Blue Herons? I have the original Blue Heron's with the piezoelectric tweeters and use a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 12 monoblocks (140 watts each) and a CJ CT5 pre. I did he Teflon capacitor upgrade on the Premier 12's.The dealer used CJ, so I figured that ... | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please Ralph, Have you thought about Conrad Johnson? I have a CT5 that I believe would meet your criteria. I believe it's the first one of theirs with Teflon capacitors that really tighten the sound from the earlier generations of CJ. I use it with Shuny... | |
| Looking to replace EAD DSP-7000MKIII Hi Captain - I thought I was the last person in the world using the upgraded EAD 7000. Like you, I enjoy its natural organic sound. Last year I listened to a Naim DAC. I think that it is better than my 7000 (more detail, fuller midrange and better... | |
| Shunyata Zitron ICs Anaconda vs Python I may have been a bit unfair to the Zitron Cobra in my last post. It is a great power cord, with the timbral accuracy of the Anaconda. It is quick, images well and has a nice open top end.The difference in my system is that the Anaconda brings you... | |
| Shunyata Zitron ICs Anaconda vs Python I just moved up from a Shunyata Zitron Cobra to Zitron Anaconda (used and broken in) and the difference is staggering. I haven't heard the Zitron Python, so I'm no help there.I'm using a C19 1.75m to a 7-8 year old Hydra 8. From there power is mos... | |

| here is my delima............ Hi Kennesawjet-I just saw this thread and was interested to know how it worked out, as I had dealt with similar issues last year. Did you resolve the issues you had?Regards,David | |
| Power cables for Conrad Johnson and Vandersteen Hi- I'm wondering what you ended up with for power cords on your system and what you think. I bought a PK-10 Palladian for my DAC and use Shunyata for the rest of my system - including a CJ CT5 preamp (predecessor to your ET-5). I'm very happy wit... | |
| Siltech 330L or 770L? Hello- I have some older G2 pure silver Siltech LS2-90's with CJ pre and power amps. Speakers are meadowlark blue herons (full range, piezo electric tweeter, first order crossovers).I'm looking to upgrade my speaker wires - especially to get more ... | |
| acoustic revive rtp-4 or shunyata hydra 8 Hi Pataldorr- I recently went to a Hydra 8 from a 4, which I had used for about four years. It is surprising how much of a difference the 8 makes. I'd say the improvement is as significant as when I went from a power strip to the 4. The entire sys... |
