| Avantagrde UNO w/ CJ Premier 8 Thanks Raquel/Pluto - I am very compromised as far as room space since I virtualy use the living room as an audio room (or is it the other side around?..jejeje)This same guy is offering me a pair of N801, what do you think?, will it be an upgrade ... | |
| Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI I had a VPI JW19 and got great results with a Denon 103R some years back (RB300 arm by that time).Hope this helpsFernando | |
| 750 US MC cartridge options well - just a quick note to mention that I bought a Dynavector xx2 MC cartridge (very low output).I am in heaven!Thanks for your feedbackFernando | |
| problems with CJ's Premier 140 ? anyone I have had my premier 8´s for three years with no problems, just a full retubing a year ago for 6550 svets!!!I agree with FJN04 description of the Premier 8 sound, I mitigate that a lot with a fast Q speaker (Avalon) and ultra-fast cables (SIltech... | |
| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? I heard a nice setup at RMAF with Cayin amps, you may try those.Other options could be Sim Audio or Prima Luna.Fernando | |
| Audio Research LS3B vs. Conrad Johnson PV10b Ihave had both AR and CJ preamps but not exactly these same models... anyway... I have found that the AR sound is more linear (freq. response) but a tad grainy (midrange) in comparison to the CJs, which are more musical but lacking the ultimate ex... | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. I like Gryphon or Goldmuns as options for trully high-end Integrated amps. Check them out.Fernando | |
| Amp recommendation for Paradigm Studio 100 v3? I thon Sim Audio or Classe could be good options. I have smaller Paradigm speakers in a second-system and they do need power to shine.Fernando | |
| CAT JL-2 Signature VS. Jadis JA80 I would really like to be in that position!!!(considering buying either of those two amps) | |

| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Macrojack: I am staying Belt Driven!!! jejeje, lots of improvement areas elsewhere in my analog setup (arm-power supplies-stands, etc..).Very interesting thread, a learning experience.Fernando | |
| Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2 I felt really stupid! | |
| Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2 Please don´t laugh!!! :)I went back to my phono preamp and tried the 50 Ohm "setting", different presentation but still funny sounding. Then placed the DIP switched for 150 Ohms and, while different sound, still got a non-convincing result.Then. I... | |
| Optimal loading for Dynavector xx2 OK - will try at 50 Ohms first and post my findings, TXS! | |
| Rowland "house sound"? Fishwater - I am not sure if a digital amp is your route if you are looking for lush midrange reproduction. I would try a pure class_A ora a tube amp first.Mike - Rowland 6 looks to me like the warmest on the Rowland line, I have had the 5, 1, 2, ... |
