| Conrad johnson 16ls owners it's best to get 6 matched. I tried many different varieties when I had mine. If you really want to treat yourself get a set of Telefunken 7dj8's. Upscale still has them I believe. They're a little pricey, but well worth the investment imo, an... | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6 Teflon upgrade, anyone done/heard it? Another way to look at it would be to comparre the 17 S2 with Teflon to the 16 without and the CT6 with Teflon to the CT5. In both cases I think the 16 or CT 5 would be the better option. | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6 Teflon upgrade, anyone done/heard it? Have not heard it with the upgrade. I did own the preamp at one time though. Sold it and found a Pr16 that I enjoyed quite a bit more for a number of years. Also thought about doing the upgrade to my CT 6 before selling it. At the time I was gi... | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6 Teflon upgrade, anyone done/heard it? Buy a CT5 (there's a couple for sale right now on A'gon) and sell the CT6. The cost difference between the two will probably be less than the upgrade cost and you'll end up with a much better preamp. | |

| Pass Labs amps questions You have "settled" on a very nice pair of amps. If/when you decide to upgrade again, try the .8's | |
| Pass Labs amps questions I strongly recommend that you audition the .8 series before purchasing the .5, just because its Class A. I recently upgraded from the Int 30A, their Class A integrated, to the Int 60, their Class AB integrated. Not quite the same as what you are... | |
| proac d25 vs totem Mani 2 The Mani 2's are not a small room speaker. You will be overwhelmed with bass. That is of course you have sufficient and quality and power to drive them, which like mentioned above is a whole separate issue.If you're looking at a stand mount Tote... | |
| bent cantilever We'll throwing it away may be going a little overboard. But it's a pity how many brand new cartridges seem to be coming through with bent cantilevers. I recently had a bad experience with a very well known manufacturer. I never should have acce... | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? Still running my Merlins, now with Pass Labs. Too bad Bobby's not around. I'd love to tell him how good they sound with solid state. | |
| B&K amp differences The last 2 B&K amps I purchased used here on A'gon went up in smoke.That combined with the PrePro, I also purchased used here that never fully worked soured my interest in B&K. It's a shame, back in the day, they made a pretty good piece ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues hb2012, I think summary judgement on your part is without merit and unless you know something the rest of us don't, uncalled for at this time. Why don't you just wait to see the outcome. CJ is on notice as of Wednesday by hifiman5. They've had ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues pereza, my response above was somewhat insensitive given what you are going through. Best of luck getting things worked out. | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues Ditto for Pass. Used CJ for more than 20 years. A total of 6 different pieces. Now using Pass all the way. |
