Home Spindle Lube Test
Well, I finally got some personel time to listen to my system. The Mobil 1 as a spindle lube has not improved nor diminished the quality of my vinyl recordings. The bearing functions properly, so my conclusion is that Mobil 1 can be used as an equ... 
Looking for views on bi-amping
I purchased a C-J Primier 11 from a good friend. I found the bass a bit lacking. I called C-J, and they recommended bi-amping with a MF-2250 for the bass with the P-11 for mids and highs. My speakers have dual binding posts which made the project ...

Rock,I finally had some time to stop off at the local auto supply store. The 'thinest' Mobil One availiable is 5W30, so I purchased a quart. Last night I installed the Mobil One in my Michell Gryo SE's hydro-dynamic platter bearing. I removed and ...

tube amp suggestions
I own and know others who own Conrad-Johnson equipment. I have been very satisified with their performance, as well as the others I know. Look here on the 'Gon" for good deals on almost new equipment. Very good deals C-J equipment on the 'Gon' has...

Rock, Nice experiment. If your up to it try one more test....straight 30W Mobile One. (Don't know if its availiable) The first call out on oil is its weight or viscosity (W=winter) at the freezing point. The second its weight at operating temp. I ... 
mixing tube and solid state amps
Yes, It works well. I have a C-J Premier 11 tube amp and a C-J MF2250 being fed with two sets of pre-amp cables from my C-J Premier 17LS. I have then two seperate sets of speaker cables, one from each amp to the speakers. The tube amp powers the m... 
Tubes for Conrad Johnson 17 ls
I use Electro Harmonix 6922 gold pins in my CJ Premier 17 LS. They are a little difficult to find, but well worth the effort. I have no intention of going back to the Sovtechs! 
Power amp to match Conrad Johnson Premier17LS
You made a wise choice by purchasing the C-J Premier 17! I recommend you match it to a C-J MF2500 solid state amp! You will very happy!Regards, 
KT-88 KT-90 KT-100 6550 which has the best bass?
I went thru the 'tube flipping' phase several years ago. In a c-j premier 11, I replaced the 6550 with a quad of the the kt90 series. Yes, I had some extended bass, but lost some sound stage. I really recommend using the tubes recommended by the m... 
I want to upgrade to a bi-amp setup.
You can mix it up, as you state it. Use the 2500 for 'bass' and the premier on the high end. I bi-amp a c-j premier 11 tube amp along with a c-j mf2250 into my kef ref. 3-2 speakers. I have two sets of connectors at the back of the speakers to run... 
Noise when turning on/off tube amp?
Sorry Snooker14, I need to learn not to read/respond so late at night. Integrated tube amp. (pre-amp and amp controlled by one power switch) does not permit you to perform the recommended on off schedule. Now back to your question. Three years is ...

Always, always, always, turn your pre-amp on prior to the amp(s). Always, always, always, turn your pre-amp off prior to turning off the amp(s).Regards, 
Anyone have their system insured?
Oh Yea...Big time. I called my ins. co. when I finally figured I had spent over 25K on hardware and an additional 6K on software. I photoed everything and keep receipts in a very heavy duty file cabinet. Since I already have full replacement cover...
