| need help with Conrad Johnson preamp SNAFI As Steelhead stated: ALWAYS preamp on FIRST, then amp. Reverse this at turn off.I would try what Steelhead suggests and re-bias the amp. The preamp might have whacked out the bias a little when it come out of auto-mute. | |
| Tube life in preamp. Please help "I liked the original MKI and the MKIII best. I did not like the MKII."I was an ARC dealer for many years and have personally owned about a dozen different SP9 preamps. I keep going back to this unit because it really is a great preamp. I know oth... | |

| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Sabai has done this many times. He loved, then hated Grover Huffman. He loved then hated HiDiamond. He loved, then hated Synergistic Research.He seems to think he is the cable god and everything he says should be taken as such.I've pretty much qui... | |
| Best Minimalist DAC? I agree with Zman. The Bi-Frost doesn't do DSD, but you can add a Loki for $149. GREAT combo for the bucks. | |
| Which headshell to use? 35off...if you have the Audioquest that looks like the Orsonic, you have an Orsonic. Orsonic made that headshell for Audioquest. It just says Audioquest on it, instead of Orsonic, but it's the same exact headshell.I was a dealer and have several o... | |

| Modwright 9.0 SE versus Conrad Johnson PV-14L Mk 2 Wino...they were Amperex Holland 7119's. I also have a NOS pair of American made, but they weren't as good.I did extensive tube rolling with that unit and still have a lot of tubes for it. In the back of my mind, I knew I would own this preamp aga... | |
| Modwright 9.0 SE versus Conrad Johnson PV-14L Mk 2 Does your Modwright SWL9.0SE have the tubed rectified power supply and all of the Modwright caps?That model had several running changes to it over the years of production.

| Tidal & Deezer - Streaming Devices Used...? Sonos Connect | |
| Rega arm vs Sumiko Kiko65...just a quick correction. It was David Fletcher, not Beltcher that designed the SOTA tables. | |
| Best amp for $550 to mate with the following... Here are few that would be close to that price:Classe 10 or CA100 (as Ray mentioned), the Seventy IMHO, wouldn't be enough power for your speakers which are 86db.Sonographe SA250Odyssey StratosParasound A23Emotiva has several amps that would work ... | |
| Which headshell to use? BTW...welcome! Nice vintage system!! | |
| Which headshell to use? I have a box full of different headshells. My favorite is the Orsonic. Audioquest made a version of this also, (actually it just had their name on it).These went out of production for a long time, but have recently come back. 2Juki on E-Bay sells ... | |
