| Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5 You may already know this but these units are for sale right now used on A'gon for a little over $10k. Considering CJ gear is good for at least 10 -20 years you may want to consider something with a few more miles. No relation to either seller. Ju... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Picked up the set for 5 bucks at a flee market about a year ago. Records/box are mint. What a find!! What a buy!! What a recording(s)!!! | |
| 6922 tube selection I'd take it another notch up to the Telefunken 7jd8, at least in your preamp. They're still available from Upscale the last I looked. I use them in my Premier 16 and they are a significant improvement over the EH. | |
| MC suggestions for conrad-johnson Premier 15 I believe you will need some additional gain for any LOMC. I'd check Bob's Devices. Lots of good reviews. I understand that his 1131 is a good match for the Bronze and 15. It might also give you a little more versatility than the Mod if you decide... | |
| MC suggestions for conrad-johnson Premier 15 Interesting that you bring this up. I own the Pr. 15 and also use a MM cartridge. The gain in the 15 is too much for a MM. I've also explored the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze but fyi have been told that a step-up would be needed with the 15. You might w... | |
| Totem Model 1 If you can buy Model 1's for $600 I'd snap'em up in a heart beat. I sold my original Model 1's awhile ago for +/- $1,000 (can't remember exactly) and felt like I was giving them away. | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma I don't think you can go wrong with CJ and Quads. It's more a question of whether you like the older CJ sound that you're getting with the MV-60 or the newer, more neutral and detailed CJ sound. I ran my 63's with several different amps including ... | |
| Premier 16LS & ET5 Thank you for the compliment Lloyd. | |
| Problem with CJ Phono Pre and Dynavector MKIIXX2 Unfortunately the TEA is just not high "enough" gain to run the LOMC Dyna. Don't despair though. The CJ electronics are beautiful instruments (I run all CJ electronics myself) and with the right step-up transformer will sound glorious. | |
| Premier 16LS & ET5 I own the Pr16S2 paired with Pr12xs (triode version w/EL34's). BTW, also have Merlin Masters and Clearaudio. I've never heard the ET5 but I can assure you that the CJ electronics will sound wonderful with your Merlins. Please report back what you ... | |
| KT 150 FOR CJ MV60SE That's something I would ask Conrad Johnson. From what I've read, there may be some concerns with the KT150 and their newer amps. I think caution should definitely be exercised in their older amps. | |
| Clearaudio MM specs rolled back? So I'm not sure what your point is. I'm thinking of trying a Maestro on my Ovation table. Do I opt for an older cartridge, a new model, or does it make a difference?? | |
| Quad 63 ESL Rebuild - A Horror Story What's the difference what the date is? If the OP's story is credible (I don't see that it was ever disputed) then it's a good bet that the person in question is not to be trusted and if he's not already out of business he should be. This story hi... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Keep your eyes open for a Music Reference RM10. Original series can be had for under $1k, but they don't come up often and they get snatched up quickly. Excellent amp for the money and fits the criteria in your original post. They're also very rel... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Bruce, if Im reading these posts correctly (label me Mark on the slow), what youre intending to do can work as long as you know to wire the Oppo and Dish once to the new pre for 2 ch. listening and a second time to the existing receiver for su... |
