| Four days in London Thanks Mgottlieb,I didn't mean for this to turn into an argument about British food. If anyone else has any other music related suggestions I'd love to hear them. | |
| Upgrading to Analog Preamp for 2k There is an Air Tight ATC 3 on here for $2K, I have the next model up, the ATC1 and love it. Clear, liquid and non-fatiguing. I'm sure the sound is very similar, build quality is also excellent, all point to point wired. Good luck! | |
| Does anybody have a schematic of the CJ 11a amp Did you check your tubes by switching channels? It might just be a bum tube. | |
| Pre-Amp sound similar to Conrad Johnson I have an Air Tight Pre that sounds very transparent and liquid, not at all muddy. I'm pairing it with a c-j 11A amp and the combo sounds great. Happy listening! | |
| Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ? There is a Metronome T20 Signature dedicated transport on here right now for $750, an incredible deal. As said above, why buy a DAC you're not going to use, when you can buy a piece optimized for your needs? Good luck! | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Wine, micro brewed beer, or something from my collection of cognac, armagnac, calvados, eau de vie, and grappa. | |
| Thank You Audiogon. Great 5K system Paulg805!! I have to agree, I don't know what I'd do without Audiogon, I managed to assemble a 20K system, wires and all, for 7K and change. Much thanks to providing an outstanding forum for audio experimentation and camraderie. | |
| Power Conditioners: Myth, Magic, or Necessary I have an entry level Chang Lightspeed conditioner I've had for about 3 years. I have noticed quieter backgrounds and longer decay to notes.

| Pain in my butt Ernie,Get well soon. I know it sounds hokey but the healing power of positive energy counts for a lot, so stay positive!Jon | |
| CD Direct and DAC's You either need a preamp, a DAC with a built in volume control. or some type of passive volume control device like the ones made by Placette and Creek. | |
| Calling All Phish Fans Drew,The shows where they covered entire albums as a third set were Halloween shows, not New Years. The next 4 Live Phish discs about to come out are those four Halloween shows in their entirety.Jon | |
| Calling All Phish Fans Hi,I've been seeing Phish live since 1989, and think they are one of the most talented and inventive groups of musicians I've ever heard. As far as they're albums go, I'd recommend Junta, their first album as a very natural sounding, minimally pro... | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? Brad,As someone in the wine trade I have to say that blind tasting is one of the hardest and most humbling things to do. I think beer would be a bit easier than wine but still hard. As far as prefering a beer you previously disliked, I'd say you h... | |
| Tube Amp Ventilation? I don't use a tube cage now, and I'd need the top shelp for my turntable, so the amp would have to be inside. | |
| Speakers for stargates? I'm very confused, you've answered your own question and then asked yourself out for a drink? Help me out here. |
