CJ Preamp help please Thanks everyone, great description Larry. | |
Near field listening and speaker placement You also don't want a flat wall behind your speakers no matter how far out they are, I put 3 fig trees between and behind the speakers for dispersion and the soundstage and imaging improved... | |
Which direction would you go? Mike, I would suggest, from my experience only, going with Classe amps - ca200. You'll find good deals used for around $1500 or less. It is smooth and a powerhouse - doubles down to 400w. I also have cj tubes in the preamp and Meridian front end w... | |
Are Thiel 2.3 much better than the 2 2's? Great information from both Art and Obriander - one point worth a second is the accuracy and sensitivety of Thiels. I have changed several ic's, speaker cables, and a couple of power cords..and the change is immediately apparant with the Thiels, s... | |
How does MIT vary the impedance of their cables? Speaking of MIT - I was deeply enthralled in a Clapton blues tune the other night and wham - left speaker goes dead. After some tinkering with everything, especially the speaker cable, I booted back up and it worked but the soundstage was pulling ... | |
Are Thiel 2.3 much better than the 2 2's? You should consider 3.6's, they are a big step up from the 2.2's. Mine aren't bright at all, I'm using cj pre and classe amp with silver ic's and kimber speaker cable. I have not heard the 2.3's so I can't offer a comparison. You can get a used pa... | |
Help: Classe CAV75 problem? My CA200 doesn't have this problem, FWIW... | |
Thiel 3.6 owners - what components are you using? Hi turnaround - I'm using CJ PV10, Classe ca200, with kcag and kctg ic's and kimber 8tc speaker cables, very satisfied. | |
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed? What a worthless thread, the only information worth reading are Classe owners or other rebutals who have heard Classe amps and offer personal experiences - this thread should have gone under "hall of shame" or "who got their feelings hurt by Class... | |
Does anyone know who makes/sells... Ljgj, I use the same thing and the sonic improvements were astonishing - greater than any upgrade I've made - aiken to say several thousand $$ :) just kiddin - I do use these and they look interesting but I can't hear any improvement with my rig. | |
Do you drink when you listen? Absolutly enjoy drinks while listening - sometimes in fact I enjoy ABSOLUT or Vox Vodka - hey tireguy Booker's is the best bourbon in the world, arguably anyway, Booker Noe is Jim Beam's grandson - the Beam family have been making bourbon for 207 ... | |
Hall of Shame Nice maxgain - fortunately when you spend some time in this forum and are looking for some good advice and credible opinions you recognize names that have proven to be credible. And it is usually the same cast of characters that Maxgain mentions i... | |

Help/Major Problem David, check you cables carefully, make sure the barrel is tight around the female (the ground). I got nothing but a hum from my right channel on 2 different occasions. Both times I enjoyed extended play the night before. First time I rearranged t... |
