| Phono stage help I have an 834P and a friend has the JC3. Both are great phono preamps; both of us use Lyra cartridges, me an Argo i, he a Kleos. I love the warmth and midrange afforded by tubes and I recently retubed it with the current version Genalex 12ax7s. Hi... | |
| Anyone heard the Krell KCT Preamp? Well my KCT is ten years young and there is no need for a cap replacement. Just keeps sounded better and better as time goes on...Steve | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Interesting thread. Further thoughts are that, of the three much higher powered integrateds I owned for a time in this system, the CJ CA200 was the most enjoyable. What I missed though was the upper bass warmth of the CAV50; this is my second one,... | |
| Davy Jones we will miss you I was 9 at the time. Hot Dog with Jonathan Winters and Joanne Worley, yesterday's How Is It Made?, with music by the Youngbloods; The Monkees and others of that era will always be remembered. Apollo missions, Walter Cronkite, Bruno Sanmartino, Gor... | |
| How do I remove gunk from a Lyra Delos cartridge? I would be very concerned that the stylus is damaged to begin with and this is why it is accumulating "gunk" in the first place. An undamaged stylus is smooth and does not "chisel" vinyl from the record and accumulate on the stylus. You really sho... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Apologies; it was Martin Colloms, not John Atkinson who made those measurements.Bottom line is that more power does not necessarily translate into improved sound with the 2.4s. I failed to mention earlier that I have also owned Musical Fidelity's ... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s As Atkinson noted in his technical review of the CAV50, "On the test bench, the Conrad-Johnson CAV50 delivered a just-to-spec 53Wpc into 8 ohms (17.2dBW) for 1% distortion, midband. Loaded down to 4 ohms, it measured 78Wpc (15.9dBW) single-channel... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Guys, next time you plan to be in Eugene, OR, please let me know so that you can stop by to hear my system. That's the only way I can convince you that I have plenty of power with the CJ into the 2.4s. And my room is not small; it has a high ceiling. | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s At 150 wpc into 8 Ohms and 300 wpc into 4 Ohms the V5ke is going to power the 2.4s just fine. I use a 45 wpc CJ CAV50 with the 2.4s and have plenty of power. | |
| Cart Recommendations Don't know if this will help but I got into Lyra cartridgs over the past few years, now owning both an Argo i and a Helikon i. I have no desire to upgrade either of these as they continue to cound amazing. I hear their recent Delos is quite a good... | |
| best preamp for CJ MF2500a at 2000 to 2500 dollars I would go for the ET3; this is the newest and most improved CJ technology. This will be a great sounding system! | |
| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? CJ CAV50 | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum or Conrad Johnson MV60SE...? I had a Cronus and now a CAV50 and in my opinion the CJ has the better sound. | |
| Useful Idiots Music is the closest thing we have to virtual reality and the playback equipment the closest we have to time machines. Home theatre is a close second. | |
| Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help I see we can't edit like we used to...sorry for the double posting. I was in the process of trying to correct my typos. |
