| Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast I have Harbeth C7es3’s. I was able to trial them and A/B them over months. the other cables I use include Inakustik and Black cat, and Blue Jean. these cables made a significant difference in the sound of my Harbeth’s. Enough to want to buy them... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes My tube experience is extensive; from Conrad Johnson; McIntosh, Dynaco, Allnic, Prima Luna, and many more. Pass Labs is the only SS amp that truly has the midrange bloom that sounds and feels like tubes. They’re Class A products such as XA25, XA... | |
| Ref75se Question is for me: Does an original 75SE mean more to a buyer than a Factory Upgraded 75 to 75SE? | |
| Ref75se OP, I’ve also had my eyes on Ref75SE for years. I buy, use, sell many items. My opinion is the Ref75SE in Black sells almost as soon as it arrives on the selling block. Silver seems to linger and my opinion is that the right price is $5K give or ... | |
| VAC Renaissance Signature Mk V versus Allnic L-7000? I don't know where either of you ended up but I have an Allnic L – 7000 preamp i've had it for about three weeks now and I've had some really good preamps from Conrad Johnson to pass labs and carry audio but this is by far the most amazing preamp... | |
| Why do hipsters prefer analog? Ive heard this one before. 1. To get to the other side? 2. Because it's ironic? | |
| Manufacturers past their heyday It's a lack of depth and understanding. Most of the companies listed as relevant, are sold and re-sold, and maybe still good, but as said before here it's marketing. Question- "why has marketing influenced/formed your opinions". Some equipment ca... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers I've had both solid-state and tube amps from quite a few manufacturers. In my experience a good tube amp has been my preference however I've heard some pretty ridiculous statements made about tubes. Output transformers and quality of parts play a ... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Conrad Johnson Premier 11a stereo amp, Premier 12 monoblocks, Premier 350 solid state, Pass Aleph 1-5 amps, Threshold. | |
| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up I hope you are still reading these responses. So,.. the $3,000 speakers sound almost as good as the $10,000 speakers (replace speakers with amps or turn table...etc,) so then I always feel as if I want my money back in my pocket and I'll be happy ... | |
| Tubes? Conrad Johnson ART 300 mono's? | |
| Need preamp recommendation patrickdowns4 and others of LTA/ Linear Tube Audio praise are absolutely correct. I bought a LTA MicroZotl pre; gave it a shot, played with the tube configuration and decided it beats or as good as my $13,000 Conrad Johnson GAT pre. MicroZotl come... | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k PLEASE LISTEN: I can guarantee you that the MicroZOTL pre beats out my Pass XP30, 20, 22, and, my Conrad Johnson GAT And all other pres I’d thought we’re under $5000 giant killers. In my MicroZOTL I’m running great tubes. The 6SN7’s which to me ha... | |
| Luxman CL38U-SE in the house You still have it; that is good to hear. I’ve been a CJ fan for a while but have had better Pre’s as well. I have the MQ88 amp and love it from simple classic look but the sound is excellent. I have taken note of the build quality of the amp and i... | |
| Luxman CL38U-SE in the house Just wondering if you still own this pre? If you sold it; why? What were long term impressions? |
