| CJ ET3SE OR 16LS Series 2 Rollo,I have owned a great variety of cj preamps over the years. A couple of questions:Do you need a phono pre? if so, the ET3SE with phono is the most economical way to get great sound in a cj set up. The ET 3se is very very good.If phono is not ... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps I know this thread is old now, but I want to second the vote for Wells Audio. I tried the Innamorata amplifier in my home and compared it directly against two conrad johnson amps and a Marantz amp. All three were at one time or another highly reco... | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used I use Synergisitc Research Tricon phono cable. There was one listed on agon for $425 I think. I don't know if it is still there. IMHO this is a very good phono cable.Paul | |
| Best bourbon? Just found this thread. After years of being a canadian drinker (CC, VO and CR), my oldest son (29) has finally turned me into a bourbon drinker. His standby is Knob Creek. He also has enjoyed with great admiration Booker's on the higher end and E... | |

For my system I went to the Soundsmith VPI cartridge which mates with my taste a bit better. If interested in my vpi/d... | |
| need an amp... In my opinion, the Musical Fidelity A3, A300, A3.2 amps are very good all around performers for the money. That said, they are better in midrange and high end than in the bass, which is tight, but not pronounced. Of course this is all my humble op... | |
| CJ Premier 16LS2 upgrade suggestions Mr Foley,I upgraded from the 16s2 to c-j's ct-5 and was thrilled at the time. The ct-5 maintained the c-j sound but increased the clarity etc. One of my favorite upgrades. The new, lower priced ET-3SE also has the teflon caps and is a smoking grea... | |

| B&W N802: Which amp?? I run my N802's with a Conrad Johnson CT-5 preamp into a C-J ET250s power amp. I think they sound great to my ears. Previosly had a pair of Marantz sm11 amps running in monoblock. I also thought these were great. Previous to that, had a MF308. Ver... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can I bought a pair of Yamaha NS1000 speakers last summer. don't need them, hardly ever use them, have lusted after them since I was in college in the late 70's. | |
| Pass 250.5 vs. Marantz SM-11S1 Amps in Mono Hello Zear,I am not familiar with the sound of pass amps, so my comments my not help you. I purchased a Marantz SM11 to replace a 250 wpc Musical Fidelity A308. I liked the MF very much, but the Marantz was much more natural to me. Tonally, it is ... |
