| What music do you want to play really loud? Ten Years After - One of these DaysRobin Trower - Bridge of Sighs - every songYes - Close to the EdgeRolling Stones - Let it Bleed - Because the inside cover says "This record should be played loud" | |
| Tube Recommendations for C-J PV10B/MV55 Combo What's in your PV10? I have 1 with Mullard CV4003's and substitute with Siemens ocasionally that are both nice. Although the unbranded East Germany 12AU7's that I got from CJ years ago are nice as well. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Unsound your 100% correct - it is a real turnoff! | |
| Thiel 3.7 Placement Stevecham nice observation - funny how that works! | |
| Thiel 3.7 Placement Thanks Dlcockrum, you'll find I'm usually right about everything! :-) | |
| Thiel 3.7 Placement I've had Thiels for over 10 years and agree with most everyone above, the optimum placement for me in my room is 9 feet apart, 5 feet from the front wall and 4+ feet from the side walls with no toe in. I sit 12 feet from the speakers. The distance... | |
| where to invest??? Dedicated lines for sure - that was an instant and pleasant upgrade for me. | |
| Thiel 3.7 Placement Your placement should work fine - your soundstage will not be as deep but it doesn't sound like you have that now with your B/W. Those are great speakers - enjoy them! | |
| Krell FPB-400cx vs. Pass 350.5 for Thiel 3.6 Mcintosh 501 mono's is what I use - they do a great job controlling the Thiels. Transparent, great bottom end and midrange.Before that I used Classe CA 200 - Mac's were a big step up. Can't help you with Pass or Krell, haven't heard them. | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Tvad, your right! But there has to be more of us out here that don't change wire like socks! Maybe there are but they just don't peruse this site so often... | |
| Which Power Cords: I Need Some Informed Guidance Why doesn't anyone use or recommend SR Master Coupler any more? These cords were among the first aftermarket cords that became popular. I still use 2 on my digital front end....just curious. | |
| Down grading with better /= sound Yep, me too. Went from a CJ premier 14 preamp down to my old PV10 and got improvement in spades! | |
| the tough question: Which preamplifier? and why Tvad, I'm telling you it's bizzare, better bass definition and clearer, cleaner highs...what gives?I've been looking for this and the texture I use to have and it was right under my nose. I don't think the premier 14 has it compared to the pv10. I... | |
| the tough question: Which preamplifier? and why Tvad, it does sound warmer, richer, cleaner highs, better seperation, better tonality all around. This was not the case when these preamps were connected to a Classe amp which has an input impedance of 47K. | |
| Vinyl Back in Black Review Reissues suck, there is nothing like the original pressing in my opinion. My best albums were pressed in the late 60's, 70's, and very early 80's. |
