| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday I went on Friday and thought the Zellaton's were among the few I thought sounded really good, together with the Raidho and Brodmann.All-in-all, an excellent show. | |
| CJ Premier 12's or LP 140's with Dynaudio C-1ii You're welcome.Yes, I did like the sound after the upgrade. There were definite improvements in dynamics, clarity and frequency extension at both extremes. | |
| CJ Premier 12's or LP 140's with Dynaudio C-1ii Of the two c-j amps you list, the Premier 12's were introduced in 1993 while the LP140M's came out in 2006. The Premier 12's are going to give you the warmer sound associated with the older c-j house sound. One other thing, the LP140M's use the CD... | |
| ARC VS55, CJ PV10/ARC Sp-14, Naim 3.5, Vandy 1C It's difficult to tell from the OP why he attributes to the PV10 that "the highs are more grainy especially with female vocals". My point was that the PV10 doesn't normally sound this way. You may be correct in that the problem lies there but I wa... | |
| ARC VS55, CJ PV10/ARC Sp-14, Naim 3.5, Vandy 1C I agree with Pops. The highs on the PV10 are anything but grainy and the culprit lies elsewhere. | |

| MFY Tungsol 6550 tube old versions Just as a point of information, Tung-Sol (the company that invented the 6550), introduced the first version of the 6550 in 1955 with the single getter black plate. | |
| MFY Tungsol 6550 tube old versions I know what you're talking about as I have both the numeric and alphanumeric tube codes on vintage Tung-Sol tubes but I've never seen a list to break down the year and week of production.I'd be interested myself if anyone is aware of such a list. | |
| Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp? You might want to try the conrad-johnson forum over at Audio Aficionado. Maybe you'll have better luck there?http://www.audioaficionado.org/conrad-johnson/ | |
| Which is the best King Crimson remaster? Here are the search results for the 40th anniversary edition on Amazon. Depending on whether you want the DVD-A version included any, of the first three listed are the actual 40th anniversary remastered release.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 140 6922 tube swapping You're on the right track in just replacing the noisy 6922 at this point before doing anything else. As Tomcy6 and Xti16 have said, you need a starting point before you do anything else.I own the Premier 140 and it's an excellent amp, one of the b... | |
| Best Tube Amp/Preamp combination with Quad 2805s I know that Quads have a reputation for getting along well with lower powered amps but if your 2805s are anything like my 989s, you might want to consider a little more power than 35 or 40 watts. This is just my 2ยข naturally but I've used both a c... | |
| NOS KT 88s or GE 6550s Hifigeek1,So much of it comes down to the circuit we're using the tube in and our personal preferences. Some is just blind luck in terms of getting a good or bad batch. I have both the ST-shaped and the straight-sided Philips Sylvania 6550's and t... | |

| Hum X for CJ PV-10? Sleepysurf,The hum is most likely coming from one of the components you have connected to the CT-5 and not the preamp itself. Something you can try is to disconnect everything connected to the preamp (not the amp, naturally). Then connect each com... |
