| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL is mentioned a lot in this thread. I would appreciate it if the owners could expound on why they like it. I own a Luminous Audio Axiom 2, a Don Sachs DS2, and a CJ 17LS2 and would really be interested in how the LTA so... | |
| Audio shops near Lafayette, Indiana? Plus 1 for Audio Solutions. Ovation is another place. You can hear Golden Ear, Klipsch, and Magnepan. They seem to like MacIntosh electronics. Audio Solutions seems to always have new B&W, Focal, Sonus, or similar running in different rooms... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems Okay, the amp is back from Conrad Johnson and running beautifully. Talked with, I believe it was, Keith, who advised that I was using small tubes with too low a voltage. Not sure how to explain how this happened except to say operator error whil... | |
| Klipsch Speakers Hi All, FWIW, as an update, I've had my Forte iv's about nine months now and have been enjoying them with a First Watt F7. I recently retubed my CJ LP66S amp with Gold Lion 6992's and Electro Harmonix 6990's and reinserted it into my system. Bi... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Thank you all for the suggestions. Really hard to narrow this down, especially with the WAF! | |
| RIP Christine McVie Wow. Gives me a feeling of emptiness. Rumours was released in '77, I married in '78 with no cares in the world, and in a flash forward, another icon of my generation has passed.... Be nice to someone today, you never know if it will be your las... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel I had Thiel CS3.6's and then CS5i's and could never get a good soundstage and dynamics. Currently running Klipsch Forte iv's and Zu Audio Soul Sixes, both of which sound more live and dynamic to me. It is nice to not have to deal with heavy, hi... | |
| Klipsch Speakers I've had a pair of Forte iv's for about six months teamed with a Mojo Audio Evo DAC, PS Audio transport, Don Sachs pre, and First Watt F7. I do not think that they are bright with this setup. Klipsch speakers can provide a lot of dynamics and a "... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Lots of good advice here. Thanks! Quite a few suggestions are about as large as Fritz speakers. Maybe, I need to just buy Fritz speakers and beg for forgiveness😊 @erik_squires What are sliced paper cones? Never heard of these before your po... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Good questions. I am not wanting to spend a lot with it as I will be there only occasionally. However, I would buy Fritz speakers at a higher price point in a heartbeat but my better half will think they are too large for what she wants in the s... | |
| Room correction room system vs ears…. @mesch I am with those recommending to treat the room 1st. I made my own panels using rockwool 60 in 2x4' sheets 2" thick framed with 1x2" pine and covered with fine burlap fabric.. To start I would place them at the 1st reflection points on sid... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems I have replaced all the power and driver tubes and confirmed that they are not the problem. Jeff at CJ said to send it in and they wll look at it. | |

| Sonus Faber Lumina 5 vs Klipsch Forte IV Hi All, I have both Klipsch Forte iv's and newly acquired broken-in Zu Audio Soul 6's. Been listening to the Souls for about a week with the same ancillary gear (Ps Audio PWT, Mojo Audio EVO B4B DAC, Don Sachs pre, and First Watt F7. FWIW, to me... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems Hi, For anyone who might be wondering, Jeff at CJ responded to me by saying my LP:66S needs to come in for repair if i have inserted new tubes and the problem still happens... Did not comment on what could be wrong and what it might cost... Le... |
