| Preamp Suggestions to replace a CJ PV-12AL If you want to escape the rat-race of the NOS scene, the Psvane 12AU7 tubes from Grant Fidelity are making great music in my modded PV 12L. One question, did Bob bypass your circuit board traces with gold coated silver wire? | |
| opinions please: CJ PV12L w/ a BAT VK200? What Hukkfinn said. Bob did an incredible job with my PV12L! | |
| Harmonic Technology Interconnects I connect my tube pre with SS amp using Magic Link IIs. More than anything else, they brought the sound together in my system. The timing was right, music flowed effortlessly through them and they maintained the dynamic swing. PRAT with smoooooooo... | |
| Power cord and Interconnects for Cambridge Azur840 I have used so many different isolation/damping devices under my components that now every electronic component in the house is utilizing either Black Diamond Racing, Mapleshade brass footers or isopods. All of my hifi rig components sit on Herbie... | |
| Power cord and Interconnects for Cambridge Azur840 for ICs consider the Cardas Golden Cross or Kimber Select all copper interconnect ( 2 models to choose from). The Kimber will help you get where you want to be with more smoothly delivered detail.IMHO Consider the proper footers under the 840C. Tr... | |
| PS Audio: Power Plant Premier. How much .... When I had my entire system into a PPP, it ran hot with the fan running continuously. After buying a PS Audio Duet into which I plugged my amp., the PPP cooled down, the distortion output dropped and the sound soared.sm2727 I'm surprised that you ... | |
| CD/lossless versus iTunes & Amazon downloads Adnan,I suspect you will really notice the limitations of compressed music in comparison to vinyl. | |
| Plz advise on Denon PRA 1500/POA 2400 That should have nothing to do with it. | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics Dvdgreco,What "footers" are you using under your components? | |
| Plz advise on Denon PRA 1500/POA 2400 i would think that the output transistors are on the left side of the amp as that is getting hot. Wherever the output transistors are, there is the heat. | |
| Plz advise on Denon PRA 1500/POA 2400 Unless you go nuts with the volume, you cannot blow up speakers with too powerful an amplifier. You CAN damage speakers if you listen at high volume with an amplifier that is not powerful enough for the speakers you are using. In that case the spe... | |
| Plz advise on Denon PRA 1500/POA 2400 My POA 1500 only put out 150 watts and was marginal with the medium efficiency speakers I was using with it. The 2400 at 500 watts must be quite the powerful beast! You should be good to use it with almost any speaker. | |
| Plz advise on Denon PRA 1500/POA 2400 I have no experience with the PRA 1500 and POA 2400 but if they sound anything like my PRA 1000 and POA 1500 from many years ago, you should have quite sweet sound. The only limitation that I ran into with the amp was it was not a high current des... | |
| Replace pwr cord w/IEC socket on vintage gear? Go for the IEC jack. I had one installed on my cj PV 12L. Cost was minimal and being able to experiment with power cords yielded fine results. Cost effective and fun! | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics I didn't read all of the previous responses. Send your amp to SmC Audio and they will tame the upper midrange and treble and you'll enjoy the increased dynamics and bass power. Your money will be well spent! |
