| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Al,Thank you for taking the time to read through the article and raising the interesting points you do in your post. A technical person, I'm not. :) That having been said, I do hear differences (a) when introducing after market fuses in the CD pla... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed There are two points of interest, at least to me and some others, in the quoted review. First, there are differences in the resulting sound depending upon orientation. Okay, granted that's subjective. But what isn't in this hobby of ours? Second, ... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed The quote below is from a multi-part thread on the Polk Audio Forum entitled "Studies On Residential Power Line Noise - Part 7: HiFi Tuning and Isoclean Fuses". "Both the HiFi Tuning and Isoclean fuses have arrows on their cases which indicate tha... | |
| Conrad Johnson Tube Amp For CJ Premier 17ls The 140/17 was a little bit more three dimensional. The CA200, on the other hand, more dynamic with tighter bass and and slightly more extended at the top without being at all irritating (neither was the Pr. 140).My intent was to simplify my life ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Tube Amp For CJ Premier 17ls I used a 17LS with a Premier 140 and thought the combination was excellent. They went really well together with my Quad 989 speakers. I subsequently had the 140 upgraded by conrad-johnson with their C1 Teflon Capacitor package.I've since moved on ... | |
| Your First Concert was..... The Doors at Madison Square Garden on a Fridy night, January 24, 1969. The concert was sold out. They opened with Touch Me with the Garden in total darkness except for the strobing of listeners flashes while taking pictures.Perhaps, needless to sa... | |
| New KT150 tubes? According to the New Sensor data sheet on the KT150, the heater current is not less than 1.75A and not more than 2.0A and for the KT 120 it's not less than 1.7A and not more than 1.95A. So, they're pretty close in that regard.There may be other ch... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Although they aren't that easy to find used, the XLO Signature series (either series 1 or 3 not the series 2 which were warm sounding) have been the most neutral I've ever had in my system. The series 3 are the current model and are available new.... | |
| DIY AC cable...which bulk cable? I recently bought an Acrolink 7N with the Oyaide P-/C-004 connectors and find them to be quite neutral. With the Acrolink 7N what you're basically "hearing" is the connectors much more so than the power cable itself. I have the same P-/C-004 conne... | |
| Downsizing my system from tubes to an integrated I downsized earlier this year from a tube c-j Premier system: 16LS2 preamp and 140 power amp with Teflon caps. Bought a c-j CA200 and couldn't be happier. Perhaps a lucky number 7 on your list? | |
| CJ ET3 SE Preamp for a CJ Premier 11A amp? Just as a point of information, the Premier 17 with the Teflon caps is called the Premier 17LS2.I've paired from most "tubey" sounding to least, the following preamps with an 11A: PV-10A, 16LS2, and 17LS. All sounded very good with the 11A, althou... | |
| What amp should I buy to power Martin Logan Esl's? Follow-up.I just took a look at your Peachtree online, which I should have done first. :) It seems like a very nice, versatile unit. Why are you considering something else? | |
| What amp should I buy to power Martin Logan Esl's? I wouldn't discount tube amps in regard to driving ESL hybrids such as Martin Logan or a pure ESL such as Quad. The combination can be quite magical as a matter of fact. In years gone by I used a nominally 40 wpc (probably more like 25 wpc in actu... | |
| Conrad Johnson Upgrades - A difference maker? Randy,Having the C1 Capacitor upgrade will make a significant difference in how well your Premier 12 amplifiers perform. I had the upgrade done to my Premier 140 and the change was not subtle. The 140 was introduced 10 years after the Premier 12 a... | |
| CJ ET3SE OR 16LS Series 2 I've owned both the 17LS and the 16LS2. Never had the chance to listen to either the 17LS2 or the ET3SE. From what I've heard (had my Premier 140 power amp upgraded by c-j with their Teflon caps) and read, the Teflon caps bring greater clarity and... |
