| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Tomcy6, while I am quite pleased with the system, I'm also sure that different components might have yielded an even better result. However, given my strong product biases and lack of desire to do extensive A/B comparisons, I'm pleased with my ... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi All, I now have about 500 hours on the GAT and I'm very pleased. Concurrent with the break in of the GAT, I've also been breaking in the LP140Ms (they now have about 400 hours on them) which were purchased new and also new Siltech 770L speaker ... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Tomcy6,Thanks for the tube info and source recommendations. I'll call this week and speak with both parties. Some years ago, I did speak with Kevin. I found his manner aloof, however he seemed very knowledgeable. I've since then read and heard ... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Ericteh,Thanks for your response. 1. I will wait for the break-in process to finish before I change the tubes and will try the Telefunkens. 2. My Stillpoints are due to arrive this Thursday and I will follow your placement suggestion. While I w... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Jafant, I did not have the opportunity to hear an ART III. I relied primarily on information from various forums and input from CJ and a CJ dealer to make my decision. Also, I found very few ART III for sale and their price was near that of a G... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Erictech, thank you for your response. I'm very happy to connect with someone having experience with a system similar to mine! A couple of follow-on questions: 1. In the area of tube rolling, I'm a complete newbie and any info. is particularly ... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions The GAT now has approximately 280 hours of play time. As sources I've used our cable company's music channel signal, a system break-in disk that came with my Esoteric K-03 player and a variety of music played on the K-03. As expected the GAT has i... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions My GAT arrived yesterday and I have about 30 hours on it. I'm surprised by how good it sounds already and also how it's midrange retains the musical qualities and ease of the 16LS2 it's replaced. I was hoping that would be the case and I'm pleased... | |
| Siltech 550L VS 770L Hi Ricwin, try contacting Jack Tozzi at Spearit Sound. Jack is extremely knowledgeable regarding high end audio and has been using and selling Siltech for decades. He's a great guy and a great resource. You can reach him at jtozzi@spearitsound.com... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Thanks for the input guys. I'm directly familiar with the sound of Focal BE monitors (Electra and Diablo) and how they match with CJ tubed gear. I'm not similarly familiar with sound of the three candidate CJ preamps I mention, thus I'm trying to ... | |
| CJ preamp upgrade suggestions Hi Czbbci, Thanks for taking a moment to give me your thoughts. What I'm in the process of doing is what I hope will be my final system overhaul. I continue to update my system having just purchased some Siltech Forbes Lake G6 Signature interconne... | |
| Chang Lightspeed or Running Springs Audio Jafant - will do. At this point, my target is to update my preamp (CJ Premier 16LS2) to a newer CJ model. Another conditioner is a ways down the road. Regards | |
| Chang Lightspeed or Running Springs Audio Hi Jafant, Roscoeiii and Bobandcathi,First, apologies for the very late response. I did purchase a new RSA Haley conditioner in January of 2013. Its arrival was delayed a month due to the unavailability of the three feet upon which the unit sits. ... | |
| CJ Premier 16LS2 upgrade suggestions Hi Tomcy6, thanks for your response, it prompted me to do a bit of research. I spoke with CJ and Spearit Sound today. Here's what I learned:the 16 LS2 does not have the teflon caps, that upgrade is $5500. Both CJ and Spearit Sound (who sells both... | |
| CJ Premier 16LS2 upgrade suggestions Hi Phaelon, I've had the 11A since it was new. Over the last year, I've been using it with the Electra 1008 BEs. The change resulting from the Cap upgrade has been quite positive, with essentially all elements of its sonic performance improved. I ... |
