| Calling for inputs on Oritek X-2 Okay, this may be apples and oranges because my system is tubed, not solid state, but here goes anyway. You know everything you like about the X-1? The detail, soundstaging, bass response and the fact that it seems to bring out the best in your ot... | |
| Speltz anti-ic's vs Nordost QuattroFil Have you tried the Oritek X-1s or X-2s? Clear, clear, clear. No warmth. Just the music. IMHO. | |
| problems with CJ's Premier 140 ? anyone Blown fuses? Yes. With tube sets that were perhaps not the best in terms of stability. Also a tendency to make certain tubes red plate and then fry if you don't shut the unit down fast enough, Seems to be totally related to the tubes, not the amp,... | |
| CJ PV12 AL verses CJ PV12 L The PV12AL is an upgraded version of the PV12L.This is from the Conrad-Johnson website:"The PV-12 superseded the PV11. Like its predecessor, it featured zero feedback circuits, and passive equalization in the phono stage. For the PV12, critical pl... | |
| Power Cables for Quad 988s I use Blue Circle BC-68s on my Quad 989s and wouldn't run the speakers without them. I haven't tried any other cables, I stopped after trying these. They retail for about $365 each/new but can be had for around $600 for the pair. I've never seen a... | |
| Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables? I received the X-2 interconnects today and they are simply without a doubt, the best interconnects I've ever had in my system. My reference until now had been the Magnan Signature but the Oriteks do all that the Magnan's did and more (in my system... | |
| Any every hear of Ram Electronics speaker cable? Yes, just like wine is wine is wine. Not trying to be offensive, I just have problems with generalizations.Regards,Joe | |
| Conrad Johnson Primier 16ls1 vs 16ls2 owners... I don't think you'll be disappointed. Please post your impressions.Best of luck with it,Joe | |
| Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables? After the previous post, I did go back to the Magnan Signatures between my preamp and amp, the bass was just more solid, for lack of a better way of putting it. The Magnan's on the other hand, give up some of the sparkle of the Oritek's. I'm hopin... | |
| What amp do you use with your QUAD'S? As a starting point you may wish to check these two websites out:http://www.quadesl.org/Amplifiers/AmpList/amplist.htmlhttp://www.geocities.com/drquad@pacbell.net/FWIW, I drive my Quad ESL-989s which I believe are each the equivalent of two ESL-63... | |
| Conrad Johnson Primier 16ls1 vs 16ls2 owners... I owned the 17LS (the original, not the LS2 which uses the new capictors). The 16LS2 was a major step up in terms of clarity, bass response, and high end definition. What I heard, at least in IMHO, was a noticeable improvement in soundstaging (and... | |
| C J Premiere 11A versus Music Reference RM200 The 11A is one excellent amp. We still keep looking, but sometimes what we want is right in our back yard.Joe | |
| Tubes for a Conrad Johnson 17LS? Dopogue,Should there be any concern with mixing 7308s with E88CCs (which I believe are 6922s) because of different electrical characteristics? The fact that you're doing this without any issues would obviously seem to indicate that there isn't any... | |
| Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables? Just as a follow up. I now have four pairs in my system, replacing interconnects that cost $125, $325 and $1,940 each. I am very happy with the Oritek X-1 cables. Not perfect, the cables they replaced did certain things better, but all-in-all, I'm... | |
| Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables? I'd be interested in hearing your impressions if you decide to share them. Actually, I'm getting two pairs in the next few days. Just wondering yhough what to expect. I'll post my impressions. |
