| B&W Variable High Pass Alignment Filter Setting. Thanks for your comment.I'd still like to try it out and see how it sounds in my system. | |
| Canary Audio... Thanks for your replies Chotdavid and Jaybo. And Jaybo, yes I have already tried the Canary on my VA. I realize that the Canary seems to have a higher amplification. Without changing the volumne control, Canary in fact plays louder than CJ. It gav... | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Conrad Johnson Premier 11A I'm not sure what you mean by "old MC275"? Are you talking about vintage or re-issue?A vintage MC275 in top notch condition is actually more expensive than a CJ11A... And all the re-issues sound inferior to the original 275.I have been using a CJ6... | |
| Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS? I got a 17LS recently too. One important thing is that the stock Sovtek 6922 sucks big time. I borrowed my friend's 17LS2 stock tubes (Electro-Harmonix 6922) and they sounded so much better. Sovtek sounds too bright, harsh, and lifeless...I eventu... | |
| New Midrange vs. Older High-End CD Transports If Krell got a lot of tracking problems, you should probably look elsewhere.Since Denon 2900 is a universal player, most manufacturing cost is actually spent on DAC and different decoders, rather than optic and reader. I don't think it is a good i... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A I'm currently running a pair of zu wax to my beethovens. I also have a pair of transparent cable music wave super lying around that I would like to try some time soon.Hmm.. I have heard some good things about anticable. For $10/ft pair it's quite ... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A Hi Maxx,I replaced Axiom M80... Similar size and spec in fact, quite different sound however. | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A It seems like many people here got a lot of affection to VA Beethoven. =)My Beeothvens finally arrived my doorway yesterday! The Rosewood finish really looks fantastic! There is a small scratch in the bottom of one speaker but considering the mone... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A I went to a local dealer and audition both new Beethoven Grand and the older model yesterday.I actually prefer to older Beethoven because it is more laid back and they play classical music better to my ears. I found that they sound equally smooth ... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A Hi Matt,I think the Bach's lack of dynamic was because of the small cabinets and there is only one 7 inches woofer. Technically Bach is 6ohm 91db and it should not demand more power than my Axiom 4ohm 91db...I'm not stucked with CJ but I sort of d... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A Hi Jdodmead,It's good to hear that beethoven driven by a tube amp can also produce a good result!Did you compare the newer Beethoven grand and the old one? Would you mind telling me roughly how much you paid for it? You may drop me a private messa... | |
| Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A Thanks Boyhowdy and Mezzrow.I'm not looking for lush sound in particular. That is why I kind of hesitate to make my purchase decision. My room size is about 20(W) x 15(D) x 12(H) and I place the speakers along the longer wall.I used to have a pair... | |
| KT-88 in Conrad Johnson Premier 11a Thanks Jay and Art!!I'm really curious to know how the NOS Genalex KT88 sounds... and wonder if they can really live up to their price.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5766639003&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&r... | |
| KT-88 in Conrad Johnson Premier 11a Thanks everyone! I read some discussion saying KT88 needs to be biased differently on some amps as it works best in a slightly different current flow.Anyway I am really tempted to try KT88... Artmaltman, which brands of KT88 did you try on your 11... |
