| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited I am using a Townshend allegri passive pre with the 650 and it works very well. This is a great pre amp. Full disclosure, I started to become a dealer and ordered one to evaluate it. This was before my brain tumor and I am no longer a dealer but u... | |
| The Conrad Johnson Premier 350: Revisited I still have one and the only reason I would sell it is age and sickness. I am thinking of selling mine and my Gamut L5 to get some smaller things as I now live in an apt. It is the best amp I have had and have never heard one I liked better. I un... | |
| North Carolina Audio Club I have gotten down here but have had further complications with my health so that I don't even have my system together yet. Fell down walking the dog a couple of weeks ago and had a concussion which made me spend 2 days in the hospital in Ashevill... | |

Output fell off at lower impedance's; I didn't want to sell one to someone who liked the sound on his AR 3s as they were 4 ohms and the 303 would only put out somet... | |
| Platform for VPI super scoutmaster I liked using threaded brass feet in place of the stock ones. Also VPI's stand is good, although costly. I used a 4" maple cutting board on top of mine. | |
| French Astree label I also have several, both LP and Vinyl,and have been happy with all. Berkshire Records had been a good source in the past. | |
| VPI SDS See the Star Sound Technologies site for their take on this. | |
| VPI SDS Vibration affects sound quality in my experience. many theories out there on this. Take your choice. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? You know it when you hear it; don't you? | |
| Downgrading IT is easy to go past your goal; a good idea to back off a little from time to time. | |
| Downgrading Simplifing can be a good thing; my new passive pre is an upgrade to me. But it was well chosen and not cheap. Constant tuning is the price of progress. | |
