| Did my CJ Blow a Fuse? thank you both. | |
| The TURNTABLE seen on "Tomb Raider" hey drubin--did you read that new york magazine cover article on sex and the city? i don't know, may 3-4 months ago. levinson was refered to as "the self described audio icon." surely striding that fine line between confidence/truth and arrogance/... | |
| Is Wadia back? i tend to be a brand loyalist and i am an 850 owner and lover. that said, wadia is back but not better. i have not yet heard any of their new product offerings. but having dealt with their customer service folks pre- and post- acquisition, i can t... | |
| What's your profession? Age? i'm a 30 year old lawyer. my sytem retails for about $29k. through good deals on demos (my cd player), new (my speakers and interconnects) and used equipment (my amps and speaker cables), my cost is about $15k. develop an ear for the stuff and sho... | |
| Help with tube amps another cj vote. i'm a former mv55 owner (recently upgraded to cj monos) and would highly reccomend the mv55, as well as the older 75 (i've listened to, but not lived with, one). the cj sound is wonderfully warm, musical and engaging. since in int... | |
| Which Tube integrated for Virgo? i bought my first tube amp--cj's mv55--having auditioned it and vtl and arc's comparable offerings through a pair of ap virgos. give the mv55/pv10 combo a listen. personally, i liked that set-up better than the cav50 (cj's integrated offering) wit... | |
| JM Lab Utopia Sub trantq--sorry, i do not have any experience with the velodyne. i don't know if it's always better to stick with the same brand for compatability but i think that you should start with the same brand. that is to say, for your speakers (especially h... | |
| Wadia 860 output level/gain you found the right switches (there should be two sets of them (as you indicated 4 per ch), side by side). call audio video research at (734) 975 4217 (that's the direct dial for their service manager). or try matt bastion at (715) 425-6000 (he jo... | |
| JM Lab Utopia Sub the sub works well with the minis--fills in the audible gaps if you will. i found it a bit less impressive (perhaps less necessary) with the mezzos. i guess i'd "reccomend" it for use with the minis and say it's a coin toss/personal opinion for us... | |
| JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? the mezzos are 90-92 db (sorry i forgot which) efficient. i have a pair and absoultely love them. i bought them new a bit over a year ago for under $10k. i first powered them with a 45 wpc tube amp and shortly thereafter upgraded to 140 wpc tube m... | |
| Performance opinion of Wadia 850??? i've owned my 850 for a bit more than a year now and i agree with what ucmgr wrote and what jla did--i would only trade up for another wadia product. i compared and contrasted the 850 to a number of machines (see my 850 review at audioreview.com),... | |
| New To Tubes & Direct Wadia to Tube Amp i'm currently using kimber's kcag and i really like them. i experimented with some of transparent's offerings (i'm using their speaker cable) but was happier with the kcags (they were a bit tinny at first, but broke in quite nicely). by way of bac... | |
| Contact cleaners/What's good? i've used both kontact and craig's pro-gold. i like the former better than the latter. | |
| New To Tubes & Direct Wadia to Tube Amp i run my 850 directly into a pair of cj's perm. 12 amps (wltraliner, generally using 6550's. but i have experimented with kt90s). as cj does not incorporate balanced in/outputs, evenrything is connected via rca. i'm really, really happy. your choi... | |
| jm labs MEZZO UTOPIA,comments. i use the mezzos with cj's premier 12 amps and a wadia 850 directly into the amps. i absoluetly love them. they handle all kinds of music well and particularly love femal vocals and anything acoustic/unplugged (or, maybe that's just me?). bass is ... |
