| Quandary @mrdecibel Yes, you’re right I’m very used to that “uncolored” sound. Hard to adjust. Thanks for the response, and being there. | |
| Quandary An observation: With the Benchmark I listened for fine detail. The Pass is more homogenized, but in a very nice way. I’m beginning to get used the Pass sound and liking it more than previously. | |
| Quandary @mrdecibel Can you recommend a quality amp that will match well with my CJ? The Benchmark matches perfectly. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone. | |
| Quandary The sound at times is really quite good. The problem is it gets too loud too soon and there is a blurring of the sound, like it overwhelms the system.I’m going to experiment and listen this weekend with a positive attitude, but I’m afraid I might ... | |
| Quandary The problem is the slightest turn of the volume control brings a big difference in the sound. With the Benchmark, I didn’t need to change the control that often because one setting was fine for many recordings. Maybe the less powerful 30 watt amp ... | |
| Quandary Mr.D I’m aware of the phase inversion on the CJ and have the correct configuration of the leads. Thank you for your suggestions. I’m trying to just listen and enjoy. The problem I’m facing right now is, because the CJ has no remote control I have... | |

| Quandary Well, the Pass is definitely an improvement over the Benchmark. I just have to decide if it’s enough of an improvement to justify the expense. | |
| Quandary QUANDARY REVISITED I reversed course and bit for the $300 demonstration. I have the whole weekend to listen and decide. If it doesn’t make my system sound significantly better I will happily return the demo amps without feeling any obligation. ... | |
| Digital LP’s I think syr1990 has it right. It all depends on the mastering. | |
| Digital LP’s I happen to have a lot of them, bought in the early 80’s before the advent of CDs. Ironically, they were touted as an improvement! | |
| Surge protector Thanks for the info. | |
| Surge protector I got a Siemens unit installed in my breaker panel | |
| Quandary @yogiboy No, not that place | |
| Quandary The main reason for my decision was not just the $300 fee (which I agree might probably be worth it considering the heft of the amps,) but also the fact that it’s a different amp that I’d be trying out PLUS the fact that I really LIKE the sound o... |
