| Considering A Hegel Amp. Need Experiences and Observations When I first got into HiFi the local dealer was representing Hegel, I auditioned the Magnepan 3 series with Hegel cd player and Amp. I found the sound lacking in engagement. I asked him to use a McIntosh instead and was amazed at the step up in th... | |
| Eric Clapton on J.J. Cale JJ Cale, man, not a lot of people know him, he is one of my fav artists. Love him. | |
| Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you Thanks guys for the input. After much consideration, I came to the conclusion that I neither have the space nor the time for this project. You can only do so much. I will pass on it. | |
| Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you They are listed for 250 and I went checked them out and they look to be in decent shape. The owner said he got the woofers re-foamed 8 or 10 years ago by the dahlquist company. What do you guys think? Also I currently have a Magnepan 1.7i's do you... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers Conrad Johnson, Magnepan, Cardas | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? Any recommendations for my CJ? It uses a single 6922 Electro-Harmonix. What do you guys recommend as a replacement? | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? Thanks @hifiman5, wow this hobby is truly a rabbit hole. :) | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? @hifiman5 What exactly do you mean by footers? | |
| What is as tube sounding as Conrad today? I have the CJ classic 2 SE preamp paired with the CJ 2275 SE amp driving Magiies and I absolutely love the song. This CJ setup I have is entry level in their line up and I always wonder if there higer end models will sound any better than their en... | |
| McIntosh MC501 or Audio Research DS450M for Magnepan 1.7 @stereo5 Can you please shed some more light on the differences between McIntosh and CJ? I myself drive my Maggie1.7i's with CJ 2275 with satisfying results. But I have not used any other amp with the maggies, so curious. Is the CJ SS amps class D ? | |
| Tube Preamps..... @br3098 I see, I haven't so I will take your word for it. Either way, in my opinion, CJ gear is simply awesome. | |
| Tube Preamps..... @br3098 I am telling what the technician at CJ (Jeff, I believe) told me. I talked about sending my line stage classic 2 SE to get phono stage put in. I was asking him if I should just upgrade to the 3 and he said "why? its the same circuit with ... | |
| Conrad-Johnson MF-2550SE owners - What speakers are you using with it? And on the contrary I believe no speaker can beat the Maggies for the money. A box speaker in relation sounds contrived to me. I auditioned the Wilson's and Maggies at the dealer I bought them from and I kept coming back to the Maggies. Irrespecti... | |
| Conrad-Johnson MF-2550SE owners - What speakers are you using with it? @routeman21 Sorry for the late reply, kinda new to this forum and didn't realize u asked me a Q. The pairing is glorious. I although wish I bought the 2550SE instead, I just think I would get more extension, although all this analysis is purely sp... | |
| Tube Preamps..... I have the CJ classic 2 SE pre amp and my goodness is it good. However CJ stopped making this and now their entry model is the ET3 which is the same as Classic 2 but with remote control. I can not sing enough praises on this pre-amp, I’ll probably... |
