| Attention Conrad Johnson Premier 11A owners I'm using Sonus Faber Grand Piano's, the original version. I love the sound, warm but detailed with great extension at the frequency extremes. Soundstaging is also superb, extending well outside the speakers.Jon | |
| Upgrade CD player or wait If you have a substantial amount invested in CD's it makes sense to upgrade to a good CD player. Chances are, even if one of the new formats catches on, still an iffy proposition, you won't repurchase every title you own on CD in the new format, p... | |
| Tube Question Sdcampbell, Thanks for the advice that's a good idea. This is going to make me sound like an idiot but I don't know how to change the tubes, it didn't come with a manual and I can't figure out how to remove the top cover. I ordered a manual from A... | |
| Bryston B60 - Is it worth it? Vlad, I owned a B-60 for 2 1/2 years. It performed flawlessly and never failed to sound great. The only reason I sold it was to get into tubes and even then I had planned to keep it for a second system until that was vetoed by my live in girlfrien... | |

| How Do You Decide What to Listen To? I stare at my CD/LP collection until beads of sweat form on my forehead. | |
| Integrated amp into Lightspeed? I ran a Bryston B-60 into a Chang 3200 for years with great results. Lowered noise floor and no dynamic limiting that I could detect. I'd say go for it! | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? I will wait for the SE version to come out and then buy that, but it would have to be extremely expensive. | |
| Best jazz either purchased or released in 2001 Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson (Verve Master Edition), great playing and amazing sound! I also second Bill Frisell Blues Dream or anything by Frisell, for that matter. | |
| Best 12zx7's for Air Tight. Aren't the Siemens ECC83 the stock tubes? | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? Buy more software and less hardware! | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC I have a Timbre TT1 Dac with balanced ins and outs that I love. You sometimes find them on here for around $800 used. | |
| What is a good amp that cost no more then 3500.00 You should spend $2000 on an amp and use the other $1500 to buy a good used preamp, you definitely need to upgrade from Yamaha. Maybe a good solid state amp like an Ayre or M-L, or BAT, and a tubed preamp such as a BAT 51. |
