| What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge We need to know your budget and if your CJ has a phonostage. If not, you'll need to add a phono preamp.Some vinyl newbies want a plug and play TT/arm/cart setup. Some want vintage (but you may need to spend money on upgrading parts, plus having it... | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? Open question...Williewonka's use of a vinyl material is resulting in diffusion of sound waves, yes? Then shouldn't the material have folds in it, otherwise it could be reflective?I'm thinking if used in my room, vinyl would cause deflection of so... | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? Achieving so much benefit from treatment in the upper 15"-24' of the room is what surprised me the most.That's the way Peter(Pbnaudio) treated his rear wall; absorption along the entire upper wall. It's even more effective in his case since he has... | |
| Sgt. Pepper's. remastered Mobile Fidelity I don't know about your "Sgt Pepper's" release, Jim, but I was buying Japanese CD remasters for a while, and stopped because they all had one thing in common; over-extended highs. The mastering had very good dynamics, low noise floor, but were ver... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Thanks, Larkston...I'm the one who was confused; UV, UV-1. I've only found one online review and it was a rave; a preamp with a natural and realistic sound. I like Ralph's straightforward designs, and with this little preamp, I wonder how deep and... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Atmasphere, thanks for correcting my mistake. I spoke to USA TUBE AUDIO and they're out of stock, but expecting more UV-1's to arrive. | |
| Primaluna Pre and Odyssey Power: Impedance issues? I actually prefer to use a value of 20x amp input impedance vs. tube output impedance. That allows for a safe area for impedance peaks and changes in power needs.In cases, where there the preamp/amp impedance specs may look good on paper, without ... | |

| I am sick of Adele No, she's not part of the dumbing down of music (we know who you mean). Very talented, just part of a machine that is the music business. | |
| Primaluna Pre and Odyssey Power: Impedance issues? 2800 ohms is a very high output impedance to drive a SS amp, it's more of a match for a tube amp.2800 x 10 = 28,000. Your amp's impedance is 22000 ohms. This preamp is not a match for your amp.If you had a preamp with 600 ohms output impedance, fo... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Larkston, the UV-1 looks like a hell of a nice amp for a great price and I like the sound of 6SN7 tubes.Pops was kind enough to give me his impression of the UV-1 vs. his CJ preamp and I do like the CJ house sound. Although, I find myself periodic... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Has anybody listened to the Blue Circle BC3000 preamp? I've already searched the archives. | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Zd, you're right about that, and now that I'm a potential buyer, I've gotten caught up in the hype of Hifi sales. I've started to trust opinion as fact.Thanks for the reality check; reviews and advise in these forums are the only way to go when a ... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? I have many pinch warped records; where the warp is confined to one area, and they're all on LPs from the original vinyl days. What is the cause of pinch warp; factory defect or from storage in shrink wrap?New vinyl that I've bought has the famili... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth Since YOU mentioned CJ at the outset and listen to acoustic/orchestral music I think it would be the safest choice but stay with the Premier line with the bigger power supplies, THIS makes all the difference in the long run for BIG music IME. It's... |
