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.    
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Son Seals "Lettin' Go"  
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... 
Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
McCormack DNA 500 if you can find one.  I just sold mine a few weeks ago that used to drive Thiel CS5i's with no problem. BUT, my real message here is that I have shifted to high efficiency speakers with a First watt F7 amp.. Dynamic and alive. ... 
Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems
@celloover, dsper, I spoke with the factory today. Jeff asked that you use the website "contact" and send a message and he will get back to you. Thank you for that! I installed anew set of EH 6550 power tubes today and the amp is still doing the... 
Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems
@cellorover Is it the fuse light that is coming on? No, not the fuses. There is red bias light for each power tube. If the bias is wrong for a tube, the red light will go on. Each power tube has its own light and you are to adjust each tube by ... 
Words of wisdom on choosing a speaker
@ fredapplegate When we forget that this hobby is about music, we go a bit astray.  I personally agree with this comment. Not sure everyone does though.  
worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's?
@audiocanada worth the jump to Cornwall IV's from Forte IV's? I recently decided to go with Forte iv's over Cornwall iv's after a lot of listening sessiuons with McIntosh amplification. For me, I thought the Forte bass seemed tighter and the sp... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
I've worked my way through Magepans and Thiels and am now running Klipsch Forte iv's. Quite a change from power hungry speakers. The Forte's are, to me,  much more dynamic and live sounding with no harshness. Several people have said it. Horns ne... 
DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range
soix Given what you’re looking for I’d take a serious look at a Mojo Mystique DAC. +1!  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Mojo Mystique 3. Excellent DAC in my opinion. I had one and traded to move up their line.   
Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
I had a Prologue Premium Preamp that I upgraded to a Dialogue Premium Preamp. I thought I could listen further into the music with the Prologue.  For me, I got tired of the PL house sound and sold it. Kept my CJ 17LS2 and am currently using a Don...
