| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues Cue the crickets, the silence is deafening. | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues I think we need to hear from pereza aka Mark. It has been 10 days at least and he has not even given any more facts. My dealings with CJ have been great so I am curious what the story is all about. | |
| is it ok to leave a tube amp on without speakers connected No, I don't know the specific reason, but was told that the speakers provide a load on the amps, and especially for tube amps, it's not okay. | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp and amp rundown Not sure if this answers your question, but the output impedance spec is the same on both the stereo amp and the monos and that is "50Hz, 2.8VRMS <0.1Ω" according the the PS Audio website. | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp and amp rundown I have the BHK 300 monos and they are absolutely wonderful. I have not heard the 250 but from past experience, I know how stereo and monos versions of the same amp can sound different. With the extra power comes an ease of delivery. Bigger sound,... | |
| Arye VX-R Twenty or Pass X 250.8 Hi,Congratulations on the QX-5 Twenty. I have the Ayre MX-R Twenty amps and they are DESTINATION amps for me. My favorite bar none. I hope to add the QX-5 someday and well as an Ayre preamp. While DACs direct to amps can be wonderful, I ALWAYS pre... | |

| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? JoeinidDid you fancy the EAR 890?Hi Glory,Yes, I did. It's a great tube amp. When I bought mine there was a pinched wire that would cut out one channel. Once I got that straightened out, sound was warm (but not too warm) and wonderful, sweet and a... | |
| Opinions on PS Audio BHK Signature 300 monos? Thanks!I’m really enjoying them.Bascom King and PS Audio hit the sweet spot with these amps. | |
| Opinions on PS Audio BHK Signature 300 monos? I received my pair on Friday 9-23. They are spectacular. PS Audio and Bascom King hit these out of the park. Big, full, meaty, slightly sweet, powerful, just wonderful. They kind of remind me of a better version of the classic Conrad Johnson Premi... | |
| I asking for suggestions in choosing a pre-amp [that won't "break the bank". I just bought a gently used Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE and it is amazing. Big, deep sound stage. I am still running it in from its trip to me but so far I am very impressed. Used can be had for $1200-1500. A bargain. | |

| Sonos Connect Wyred4Sound Mod Any Good? It is superb. I have my modified Sonos plugged into my Job INTegrated and it sounds amazing. If you stream a lot or don't have any high res files, it's probably the best, easiest solution out there. Add a great DAC to it on a conventional system a... | |
