| Is CJ prem 14 a prem 10 with a remote?? Chuck's right, I have tube rolled with the premier 14 with good results but enjoy the stock tubes just as well, maybe better. | |
| JPS AC Cable Upgrades What about the JPS Kaptivator? I'm curious to hear that one myself. | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck What I have learned through personal experience is that without question cables are components and no less important than any other in the rig. For example, I went from MIT high end series, 330 shotguns to reference 350's and EVO's and the improve... | |
| How much does your system retail for? If I added it all up I'd probably climb up on the roof and jump on my head, and if my family found out I'd be forced to do it at gunpoint - I apply that question about the rig to what Sir Paul McCartney said - if you know how much your worth you a... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Pops was my grandfather - one of the coolest guys I have ever known - it's why I'm so cool... | |
| Someone just dropped cash into your lap MIT Oracle V1.1 | |
| Bryston 14BST and Polk SDA SRS Speaker Cable? I think you'll like Alpha Core MI 2 if you want to clean up the midrange and still get a bang at both frequency extremes. What Polk's are you using, I used to use the srs sda 2.3tl's, in fact I still have them but not in any system. | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 3A = Dry sound?? Opinions please Nanny, leave your preamp on if you are in and out of listening sessions, it is much better for the tubes and the power supplies, turn it off at night - your tubes will last longer than on and off all the time, plus your preamp will sound its best ... | |
| Budget speaker wire B&W 803 from Classe CA101 Joe's advice is right on, I would second the MIT 750+ or Alpha Core MI 2's, the AC's have a nice bloom in the midrange. The MIT's would also be a good match with Classe and B&W, smooth, great imaging. | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation That's a good idea, as you know Thiel's binding post is on the bottom and is a hassle to hook up cables - Thanks. | |
| which Alpha Core MI2 is the one to buy? Ditto Ligi - the MI 2's are the best I've had, perfect explanation by Sean. | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation Just another note on goertz networks - use them! My amp was idleing last night and when I went downstairs to shut down I noticed it was fairly hot, like it is when I use it for an extended time or my Thiels put it to task. I checked connections an... | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation I haven't noticed any difference at all - I've listened to them both ways they sound great. | |
| What percent of your system cost is for cables? Wow, only 16% unless I count all the extras laying around... | |
| Goertz MI2 and amp oscillation They shut my classe ca200 off out of the blue - I say that because it ran for weeks with no trouble and I switched out some cables and when I put the goertz back in I forgot to put in the rc link and one day it shut down the amp - have since reins... |
