| New CJ preamp w/ remote that have old CJ sound? try a s/h prem16. I real honey of a pre amp. It will be more neutral than your PV-11, but it is very musical.or as cytocycle state a prem 14 wood be a good option as well.me, personally I like the clicking sound of the remote - it makes individual... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? HI LarryI would hope the cj ART3 at $25k would bring something unique to the musical equation that the original ART or REF3 don't currently bring :-) | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? NO Baranyi, I have not heard the ref 3. I have heard the previous ref series and for my tastes a little too forward and closer to SS sound than I would like. An audio buddy of mine in Melb owns a suptratek and he likes it a lot, however I live in... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Hi BarayniGood question. I have series 1 ART. I would suggest if you have never heard the prem 16/17 or ART one would be very happy with the ACT2/CT5. For me the prem16/ART series has a more organic musical presentation. the ACT2 does the hifi a... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Hi JohnBeen a while. What do you have these days, besides a ref3 pre which by all accounts is a luvely pre amp and easily ARC's best. have you heard the PH7, sounds wonderful. me i am just a little worried about the 57.5db gain but now I have the ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? Hi DaveI agree with you re the cj ACT2. I had it at home and it did not do it for me. Same with the CT5. hence me going back to the ART, which is musically wonderful. I guess that is why its s/h value is more than the ACT2. I don't think having 3 ... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I have owned the VTL 7.5 and currently own a cj ART and it sounds sublime. If I had unlimited budget I would buy the cj ART 3 and compare it to my original ART. would be interesting as the ART is likie a musical instrument. | |
| CJ Premier 14 vs. VTL TL5.5 & TL2.5 I have not owned the prem 14, however I did own the prem16 and that sounds superb. very musical, quiet and the remote is a delight. I like the individual clicks it makes with the remote, it very easy to set the exact volume you like with 100 avail... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT5 Tube preamp Interesting review and commentsZear, I certainly agree with you re the sound of the Mac C2200. the bass was far too light and the forward upper mids/lower treble gave it a tilted balance. I would have to disagree with you re 6922's and the CT5/ACT... | |
| The final Act in a study in preamps the ART 3 Thanks Timthe ART seems to be a lot quieter than the LS16 ever was, however I think most of that is from the Mac 2102's. They are a lot quieter than my old prem8a's.What do the Amperex Orange globe's bring to the musical equation?.I am sure they a... | |
| The final Act in a study in preamps the ART 3 Hi BrainwaterHow is the cj ART3 going now??I have to tell you & Tim if you are viewing that cj is back in my life baby!!. I just bought a pre luved ART. number 56 in fact (thanks Jimbox) It sounds just wonderful. Music just seems to float in a... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. Oh come on Darren I don't dissagree with you. But $150 bucks is chicked feed to what you have invested in your system. It would be a bit of fun, you don't even need to disconnect your cartridge leads. And you may see an improvement :) What arms do... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. Hi PaulYes thinking about the jubilee, it would probably be a waste of time. I forgot about the ridge!!. I am like you re the vertical height with my dyna XV-1. I think I will be close to teh top of my VTA tower. If I don't have enough play, I'l... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. DarrenAt least I have got you thinking. THat is my only point in this excercise. better than guys passing negative comments who have not heard the device. If you send me your raven, tomearm and Jade, I will gladly test the isolator :) Yea, I know ... | |
| The Cartridgeman Isolater. Hi coneflapI too was a skeptic, until that is after I actually listened to the isolator. I take it that you have not, so you are just "ranting" which is OK in this free democracy. The made from "micro spiralex" came from the reviewer at Stereo Tim... |
