| Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Currently, with the new tubes, the CJ is sounding wonderful, especially on LP's.i just hope it continues!if not, I have ordered the tube socket and switch cleaner. | |
| Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Thank you tubegroover. I wrote to Bill Thalmann about the problem.He confirmed my suspicion that the issue had something to do with tube placement, and recommended a tube socket and switch cleaner.I also asked what modifications he does on CJ equ... | |
| Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Lo and behold, while listening, the preamp snapped back into proper focus again: both channels are equal.I'm wondering if the issue is a loose tube connection. The tubes are new, but the problem was constant with the old tubesAnybody have any sugg... | |
| Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Thanks for he recommendation hifiman. I've contacted them to see what they can do. | |
| Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp. Thanks, yogiboy, I didn't think of that | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? For the past 20 years plus I've had only one speaker pair:Dalquist DQ 20. I had it modified by Regnar so that there is much improved bass from the original. Been very happy with it. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener stfoth: Yes, except for lacking deep bass, I was happy with the system before I added a sub (but, for other reasons, was not happy when I hooked up the sub the normal way.) With the high-pass I started experimenting, alternately physically removi... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Al: Again, thank you for your detailed post!I'm going to trade in the 8 meter cables for the 5 meter to see if that improves things. Also, I suspect an intermittently misbehaving preamplifier tube might be the culprit since the anomaly varies f... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Btw, I mistakenly said I paid $100 for the four cables. It was $100 for one pair: total $200. Still pretty inexpensive. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener I'm running 25' cables from preamp to sub and from sub to amp, four 25' cables in all. I could probably get away with 15' cables. I understand from SVS that's the next size down, but I'd feel comfortable with a foot or more longer than 15.I have ... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener The reason I'm asking about connecting cables is that I'd like to smooth out the highs which are a little bright. | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener tablejockey: Yes, I've come a long way. Still traveling.Thanks for he tip. Where would I attach the power cable? | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener Now that I have my speakers and subwoofer are more or less in balance, I have another question. I'm connecting them with cables that are probably too long (25') and very inexpensive (about $100 for 4 individual interconnects) that I bought from S... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener As I'm listening to the high pass option of the SVS, I can't believe the improvement in transparency over the standard hookup. The qualities of my system are shining through. I keep waiting for he other shoe to drop!Hopefully, it won't.ebm: I can... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener stfoth: Thank you so much for your encouragement with the high pass option. I had just about given up the hope of having the same quality with as without the subwoofer. Miracle of miracles! The high pass option seems to have done the trick.Prel... |
