| They lost my amp Hi Everyone,I've been informed that the cj sojourner is alive and well and residing in Salt Lake City. Keep your fingers crossed for me as Salt Lake City is even further away than Maryland. | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Back in the 1980s I was reading "Stereo Review" and "Audio" magazines the way young people read about exotic automobiles - I knew I couldn't afford this stuff but I loved music and dreaming cost me about a $1.75 at the newsstand. When I worked up ... | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help Speaking from the tube-hugger corner, I would advise you to wait a little before exploring new tubes - make sure everything is broken in first, and that you have whatever isolation you chose, optimally positioned, etc. It's great that you're happy... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? "When I got into audio, I cut back on my excessive drinking, hard drug use, gambling, womanizing, reckless driving, and pee-ing all over the toilet. It was a pretty good trade-off all in all to her."Obviously, Paul is being funny, but I think he's... | |
| They lost my amp Thanks everyone,Pallets, that sounds like the way to go Blindjim. Good suggestion. The amps are conrad johnson Premier Vs. I can't imagine that I would be able to find a single mono-block so it would be a total loss to me. | |
| They lost my amp "What scares me worse than shippers losing or destroying a package is losing or destroying half of a pair"Exactly! I never would have accepted delivery of one amp if their on-line tracking system and a phone call hadn't assured me that the other a... | |
| Safe Shipping, Fact or Fiction I just ordered mono-block amplifiers. UPS delivered one to the wrong address which I ultimately received; the other is lost and they're running a trace. I have some suspicions about their tracking system because according to that system, on the sc... | |
| CJ PV-12 mods & upgrades by Bob & Gary Backert Good gravy! I really am an idiot - Of course I meant to write "outweigh" instead of "out way". Let this be a lesson to all you kids out there: Stay in school! | |
| CJ PV-12 mods & upgrades by Bob & Gary Backert Hi everyone,I'm currently waiting to take delivery of vintage conrad johnson Premier V mono blocks to replace a cj Premier 11a. While I'm confident the gain in power will out way any deficiencies of an older cj design, I'm very interested in modif... | |
| Good Amp with totem model 1s? Macd, You've probably noticed the Consonance closeouts in the classifieds, but in case you haven't, that Reference 880 looks kind of sweet to me. I do realize it's over budget and some lousy endorsement, but it's all I got - FWIW. | |
| Good Amp with totem model 1s? The Model 1s are well established speakers and a quick google turned up reviews by Stereophile and Soundstage (I'm sure there are more). Both reviewers seemed to like the tube pairings. Like Eslaudio and M297904, I too liked the Model 1s with McCo... | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help "I've had great success with aNDY AT Vintage Tubes"I can second that. | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help Chap_cat,Congratulations, and welcome to the tube side of the force. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that I'm eager to hear your impressions when you get set up. Best of luck. | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help "Also, buy stuff that has a decent following so the pool of buyers is large." That is such elegant advice, it's somewhat amazing to me how often it's ignored. If you're a regular browser of the classifieds, you'll see certain components that you j... | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help Chap cat,Mapleshade sells modified vintage Scott tube components including a $1495 receiver. I haven't heard these myself but they sound interesting and are offered with 30-day money back. Perhaps another member can post regarding their quality. |
