| tube preamp question Another option is a Conrad Johnson PV14 - usually avaiable for a few hundred less than the Premier 14. | |
| Canare 4S11 Star Quad cables for speaker Borrowing the quote from above:"When conventionally wired, star quad speaker cable has the advantage of reducing the EM field around the cable, which will tend to diminish the effect of the signal in the speaker cable upon nearby interconnects--th... | |
| DIY IC cables on ebay, there is often mil-spec silver clad wire with teflon insulation, usually very cheap. Or get some of the shielded silver clad teflon two conductor cable. Neutrik makes a decent inexpensive rca connector or if you feel like spending more, b... | |
| c-j technical questions I had an MF2300A for a while. Only reason I sold it was to go back to tubes.That amp drove a pair of CS2s with significantly more authority that some other 100W and 150W SS amps I borrowed to try. As mentioned before, it is a warm sounding amp and... | |
| Interconnects for Conrad Johnson amp/pre? I have the PV14 and a Premier 11A. I had a 2300A and it was a sweet amp.I had good results with MIT 330 Shotgun. Currently I'm using Z-Squared AUAU toplines and cryo'd Pulsars. You might try either of those. They are in your price range. Lot's of ... | |
| Acrolink in-wall cabling? Note that I suggested that it would be appropriate to use the expensive in wall wiring *after* installing a power regenerator at the panel. Otherwise whatever grunge is present at the breaker panel is only going to be more faithfully reproduced at... | |
| Acrolink in-wall cabling? I agree that it is a waste to use incredibly expensive in-wall cable to connect to the public mains. On the other hand, I think there could be a benefit if one also installs a power regeneration device ahead of the in-wall cabling at the breaker p... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables Thanks for the response. You could have left out all those explicit disclaimers. I wasn't being defensive about my MH750s - I was really interested in your opinion. The reason I asked is that I have been happy with the MH750 but I've been feeling ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables Jtgale: "...4jr's (rear) DO NOT LIKE MIT, IMHO."What does that mean exactly? Can you elaborate? | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables If you already like the sound of the MH750, why not buy some decent cables for the lower run? You really need to bi-wire those speakers. Currently I'm running MIT MH750SII to the monitors and Taralabs TSII to the bass cabinets. The dual run made a... | |
| tube amp will drive von schweikert VR4-jr? I'm running mine with a Premier 11A (70Wpc). I am going to try bi-amping but with just the one amp, they seem to be adequately driven at the listening level I prefer. | |
| Bi-amping with "split mono-blocks"? Thank you all for the encouragement. It looks like a second Premier 11A is on the shopping list now. And thanks for the terminology help. I wasn't aware of the term "vertical bi-amping". | |
| assistance - need to power VSA-VR4jr I'm driving my VR4jrs with a PV14L and Premier 11A with 6550s. Its a very sweet match. | |
| Thiel and tubes I had excellent results driving CS2s with a Primier 11A (70w/ch). I had poor results with the same spakers and an MV50 (45w/ch). | |
| Review: Thiel Audio CS-2 Speaker I never looked at reponses to my review until today. After rereading my review, I need to post a correction: Thiel does not voice their speakers with MIT cable. I read that somewhere around the time that I was speaking with thiel and I confused th... |
