| Keith Jarrett recommendation Albert - A minor correction. I believe that 'Closeness Duets' is a recording by Charlie Haden, and not Keith Jarrett.Ken | |
| Premier 11a good 4 ohms? You can call CJ directly and ask them about this, but the published power specs for all of the CJ amps are into 4 ohms, and you need to extrapolate the results for higher impededance loads. With this in mind, I'd have to assume that they'll work f... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 14 vs. 17LS Pre-Amp I concur with Welcher. The 17LS is somewhat livelier than the 14, but still has the same outstanding soundstage and presence. However, a number of folks have posted previously that they were able to achieve the same thing using NOS tubes in the 14... | |
| Powerful but "emotional" amps? A little on the high side of your budget ($1200 or so used), but the Conrad Johnson Premier 11a is very rich sounding amp, and provides a pretty beefy 45 wpc or so into 8 ohms. | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 vs. ProAc Responce 2.5 I'm with Tweed. The Cary amps combined with the Response 2.5's is a wonderful match, and will provide a warm, lively, and very musical sound. The B&W's, especially with ML amps (a better match than Cary IMO), will produce a sound with greater ... | |
| I need an explanation of "damping factor". Thanks to both Twl and Gs5556 for the excellent explanations. I love it when I learn something :-). | |
| The Best System In The World I'll take Phasecorrect's Pepsi challenge..."System #1 sounds excellent. It has a wonderful soundstage, good presence, and produces a very enjoyable listening experience. But Pepsi has a sweetness and effervescence that seems to be missing in the o... | |
| Revel F30 vs ProAc Responce 2.5 I'm not very familiar with the F30's, but I think that Cary PP amps with ProAc 2.5's would make a wonderful combination. The 2.5's do need some power however, so be careful if you're thinking about driving them with SET amps. | |
| Marketed to death Albert - nearly everyone out there tracks browser usage, so attacking FedEx for this is just tilting at windmills. Many sites plant site cookies not to track browser usage, but to store information about what you were interested in when you last v... | |
| Where have all the protest songs gone? gs5556 - Had a bad day? Sheesh!Brucegel - There are topical folk singers out there, but I'm afraid that the younger folks today don't seem nearly as interested in them as they do the latest teen pop king/queen. Right now, it doesn't appear that an... | |
| What is/are your the most favourite composer s ? At the top of my list are Bach, Schubert, Vaughan Williams, and Arvo Pärt. Of course, this doesn't even scratch the surface :-). | |
| would this Deter you from buying used gear???? Folks have varying levels of tolerance for blemishes on their audio equipment, and for some an owner's engraved name may be enough to reduce the value significantly (especially since it isn't *their* name). If you're considering what the next buye... | |
| question on c-j amps CJ preamps are phase inverting, but their amps are not. The solution is to simply reverse the polarity of the speaker connections to both speakers to account for this (- to +, + to -). If you switch to using a non inverting preamp, then the speake... | |
| IC for CJ PV12 Sunfire TrueSub Jr CJ MV2250? My best experience using inexpensive IC's with CJ preamps/amps has been with Homegrown Super Silver. A great match for the CJ electronics at a very attractive price. | |
| Hovland is coming out with a new component???? I *knew* you were pulling our legs. A nuclear powered line conditioner would glow green! |
