| Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ? I purchased Jim's book last Nov. I took my time reading it so some of his most important points could sink in. I created the grid and made all the proper measurments. I learned that there is no possible way to set my system up properly. I also lea... | |

| What is the lifespan of a good SS Amp They could last close to a lifetime. I am still using my Marantz 2285 solid state amp in the basement from 1978! Other than some bulbs being replaced and a good internal dusting and cleaning its still going strong! | |
| Speaker Life A speaker from the 80's will suffer from foam surround rot. This is deteriation of the foam 'ring' which connects the cone to the frame. Second item of concern would be the caps. Electrolitic caps may loose storage capability or take a memory set ... | |

| Balanced Pre for Bi Amping Recommendations Please Conrad-Johnson Premier 17LS fits your request! | |
| Loud hum/buzz from my left speaker only First try swapping the tubes from side to side. If the buzz switches sides best bet is a defective tube. If swaping tubes did not help, swap the speaker cable leads from the back of the unit. If the buzz does not switch sides, you may have a speak... | |
| What was you most expensive accidental damage? While setting up my Benz Glider while using a small steel machineists square it got pulled by the magnet into the cart. Yep, it cliped off the boron cantiliver and diamond....never found it. $700.00.. POOF! I was sick for days. | |

| Electro Harmonix tube opinions I also use a set of the 6922's with gold pins in my CJ Premier 17LS pre-amp. I love them! Highly recommended! | |
| c-j technical questions Thiel's are a great speaker but a demanding speaker! You may want to step up a notch or two on the amp and try to shoot for at least 300 wpc. | |
| c-j technical questions I am sure if you contact CJ they would be more than happy to supply you with the technical information! | |
| Relay Switching Conrad Johnson uses relay type switches for their volume control on their higher grade pre amps. Contact them and they may sell you one or tell you where you can buy one. | |
| Comparing Conrad-Johnson 17LS to 17LS2 Preamplifie The 17LS2 is superior to the original 17LS. You can not upgrade a standard LS to a LS2. If you can afford the upgrade, you will not be disapointed! Life is short, and our hearing frequency life even shorter...buy the LS2 and be happy! | |
| McIntosh MC275 vs Conrad Johnson Premier 11A Ha Ha Ha! This is the evil twin who purchased the Premier 11A from czbbcl! Yes, it is a great amp. Build quality is to military specs. I found it, over time, a tad soft/loose in the base region. I now bi-amp with a CJ MF2250 in tandem with the 11A... |
