| Conrad Johnson Premier 12, how powerful? Speed is relative and mostly a function of speaker/amp synergy. Coincidentally, I just got off the phone with Ed from cj and one of the subjects we touched upon was the speed improvement realized by using Teflon capacitors. So, given that you thou... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12, how powerful? I'm seconding Tantra's post. The 87db sensitivity will not present a problem. I'm using the cj Premier 11a (70 watts) with 91db speakers. However, neither amp is the ideal choice for a speaker with a challenging impedance curve. | |
| Thinking of trying tubes... Hi Roland,Just thought I'd throw in with Tiger and Nb_dude. You can usually find one of the cj premiers for a good price on audiogon. | |
| Can speaker cables be too thick? Slv,Thanks for explaining things in such a way that even I could make some sense of it. Given the reluctance of cable manufactures to publish electrical parameters, would it be difficult for someone else (retailers, reviewers, etc.) to independent... | |
| Can speaker cables be too thick? "He insists that a length of 10-15 feet is optimal, and that anything shorter than 10 feet is not good." I've heard something similar (I think from Mapleshade) - that no run should be shorter than 8 feet. Can anybody shed light on this. I might be... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Hi Denf,Is there any chance you were mismatching your tube amps and speakers. No disrespect, but I have a friend who continues to match low watt SETs with inefficient speakers. | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view "Also,with all due respect,why would a Hi Fi reviewer have any better ability to tell whether a product(of any type)is good,as compared to any other "music lover"?"IMO, a reviewer's value stems from his access and exposure to a variety of associat... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase "I leave "Stereophile"s lying around the house - unlike *some* Daddy Mags, at least the kids won't become perverts from reading them.(I hope.)" Aporigini,Hope is right. I've heard the word "sexy" used many times to describe audio gear. To me, it w... | |
| The planets have aligned Wow, that's terrific! You've stayed the path on what sounds like quite a journey. When one is wandering in the darkness, it's always inspiring to hear someone up ahead shout "I see light". Thanks for sharing.Regards | |
| isolation Thanks Tbg, that's what I meant to say. | |
| isolation "It doesnt feel like there vibrating or anything when i turn them on"Audiolifestyle,I'm no scientist, but I think we're talking about the movement of electrons here, and it seems to me that a seemingly insignificant vibration to us could seem like... | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Puremusic,Firstly - I was remiss in not first complimenting you on the quality of your review. Very nicely done.Secondly- You win John | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player "My observations indicate the majority of audiophiles who have the luxury of spending $30,000 on a digital source will be unwilling to own anything less than the absolute best, and they will therefore not wait to upgrade" I believe the rational of... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Jamnesta,Nice shot! I don't own McIntosh gear but I know where your coming from. Again, well said. | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Puremusic,I believe causa_sui made an astute point. My Merriam Webster Dictionary defines "Classic": 1) Serving as a standard of excellence2)A work of enduring excellence IMHO the 2.5T was superseded to soon to be called a classic. This does not i... |
