| Cartridge Advice If it were me I'd try the Dynavector. Your phono should support it. The caveat being that it may be too bright with your Krell electronics. I recently listened to the Virtuso with your table/arm and I think it will be a little "flat" in compari... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Should have said that the 7dj8 can sound just as good their 6 volt counterpart and they can be had for 1/2 the cost. They worked particuarily well in my P16 and will work in your 17 as well. Never had a russian tube in my unit that even came clo... | |
| Russian Tubes or Old "American" Tubes (built where ever)? Based upon my personal experience with my Premier 16, you should either consider the Telefunken 7DJ8 (they are the 7 volt version of the 6DJ8), or other NOS 7DJ8's. Check Upscale Audio. None of the Russian tubes IMO even come close. | |
| Zerostat near cartridge? On sale everywhere but still 3x the sale price of the gun. Is it that much better? | |
| Totem Model 1 Signatures best speaker cables Ran Analysis Plus with my Model Ones for years. Ether Oval 9 or Solo Crystal match very nicely. For tubes i would try Mullard reissues. | |
| Back in the 80's and 90's Audio Research and Conrad Johnson "CJ recently moved to a different space in Fairfax VA, anyone know why ?"Smaller space. Appears to be a budget cut. | |
| Help with "popping" Quad 2805 Kent is a good guy. He fixed my 63's years ago. But that's not the point. It appears you were sold defective speakers. Seller should pay 100% or you should return them for a full refund. There are plenty of good used quads on the market these day... | |
| Interchange with a 5751 and a 6FQ7. Sorry meant to Mazda as drivers | |
| Interchange with a 5751 and a 6FQ7. Used mullard as drivers and ge jan 5751 in my 12's. Tried many. This was one of the best combos. | |
| Which is better,AV pre/pro o direct analog out? I was on the phone with Oppo tech service today about another issue and asked about this. Oppo tech recommended going through a prepro when using analog outs from the 105. He said you loose dynamics bypassing the prepro as well as the the Oppo (... | |
| MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME I own the TSM mxm (version before the Black Magic and nicer cabinets than the mmm ) and enjoy the same type of music you listen to on them very much. | |
| Tube Amp Maintenance Tip... Give you one better than that. I've always had a hum coming through the Premier 15 (phono) into my Premier 16 and Premier 12's. Suffice it to say I tried everything to get rid of it. BTW, I have 4 dedicated circuits. Recently I replace the floor i... | |
| 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. |
