| Best sounding integrated made........is? I guess and have listened to a YBA Passion Integre Integrated amp, which is a brand new product of YBA. And I also heard the Rovland Concentra MKII is also one of the best Integrated amp. Both are very expensive. | |
| McIntosh C2200 Tube Preamp with Krell? Go with a Conrad Johnson Premier 17LS which is very dynamic, warm, sweet and big soundstage. I never listened to the Krell 7.1 but for sure you will like the 17LS. It drives any amp ( I have a SimAudio W5, a good match ) and has a bypass connectio... | |

| New Amp My suggestion is a B&K 307 which is the best for HT and Stereo or digital music right now in the high-end market. I am looking for a HT receiver too but I definitely like a separate, which I would go with a Proceed AVP and two or three separat... | |
| CJ Preamp help please I have owned a CJ Premier 17LS and am very satisfied with its sound and its look. You can read the reviews in Stereophile on May 2001 and audioreview.com. | |
| Preamp choice: CJ vs CAT vs First Sound vs ... I have a preamp CJ 17LS. Particularly its sound terrific, very detail in midrange, warm, sweet and dynamic (because it is a high performance preamp). This preamp sounds almost like CJ 16LS. To me 17LS not only sounds wonderful but its look also be... | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats I definitely go with the warm and sweet tube preamp CJ17LS or CJ16LS (more expensive) and they are very high performance with their 6922 tubes. | |

| What the heck is a power cord? Can you imagine that I had a same question before when I started to know and to listen to "High End" stuff until I really and seriously get involved. I was also not believing that AC power cords did not help any improvement of the sound but once y... | |
| HT Speakers... nice sound for good price ? You should have audition Paradigm v100 or Cabasse model 350. They are all terrific for HT and probably fit your budget too. And also with Cabasse you have lifetime warranty. I do have a pair of Cabasse Iroise 500, which are sound superb, that I us... | |
