| Best used preamp for $1500? You can pick up a Conrad Johnson PV-14L for just under $1500 and you will not be disappointed. | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? That $1200 price is for a used amp. Also FWIW I thought the Tyler Acoustics room was the second best sounding set up of the whole show. | |

| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? Here is a picture of the Tyler Acoustics room from the AK Fest in metro Detroit this year showing what amp he uses to demo his speakers. Its a Jolida JD-1000, 100 watts per channel EL-34 available used for around $1200.http://live.audiogon.com/i/a... | |
| GedLee Abbey's As a follow up, if you want to see what the Abbey 12A speakers look like finished compared to the Abbeys pictured on the web site, and want to hear how they sound in a living room set up feel free to contact me through here when you go to audition... | |
| GedLee Abbey's I own a pair of Abbey 12A speakers, I have had them now for about 3 months. What do I think, I think they are by far the best sounding speakers I have had in my system to date. My previous 2 speakers I had before the Abbeys were Linkwitz Orion++ s... | |
| Advice on possible preamp upgrade Well I took Hifiman5s advice and sent my PV-14 to RHB and had them perform their mods on this unit. The dynamic linearity servo circuit-5, the RTE power supply circuit with V-caps, and V-cap output capacitors, they also added a second pair of outp... | |
| Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 I do believe that the only two amps that Mesa marketed in the audiophile arena were the Baron of which I owned one and it was a great sounding amp, and the Tigress which was actually an integrated amp. | |
| speaker cables I too will say, call or email Paul at Clear Day Cables. He has been known to let you try a pair before you buy which is nice if you need something longer than the standard 8' pair of cables. I was looking for cables to bring out the same things yo... | |
| Speaker Wire Recommendations? I'll second the Clear Day speaker cables, great sound at a great price. | |
| best cables to use with conrad johnson ct5 & dna 5 Phil, I took your advice from another thread and my CJ PV-14L is at RHB right now being modded (can't wait to get it back). So I appreciate the recommendation on the interconnects I will check those out also.Dan | |
| Jolida 520a - What tubes go where? Its obvious where the power tubes go. The 12ax7s go in the middle two sockets V-1 and V-5......and the 12at7s go in the outside sockets V-2 and V-6, and bias them to 500 millivolts + or - 50millivolts. I got the tube locations from the 502BRC manual. | |
| CJ PV-12 mods & upgrades by Bob & Gary Backert Thats nice to hear Bbro, Bob and Gary have my CJ PV-14L right now doing their magic on it. Dynamic linearity circuit and the V-caps also, plus they are adding a second pair of output jacks. I can't wait to get it back in my system and hear how it ... | |
| Supratek Chenin or Cortese I owned a Chenin for two and a half years, I was the second owner, it was purchased here and neither one of us had any problems whatsoever with the preamp. Also when I sold the unit I got exactly the price I paid for it. | |
