| Conrad Johnson, Krell, Creek integrated amp?? Let me thank everyone who have responded so far, and provide more info about the room and speakers. The speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagios. The room is a dog: 14X12 with about 8 ft ceilings with one wall of windows and glass sliding door. Opposite ... | |
| D’Appolito designs in smaller rooms? I have a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios which use MTM design. The room is 14X12 and is smallish. I intend to move the system across to the otherside where there is more long wall, and I can experiment with distance from back wall. Here is my experie... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Gslone. I did not know CJ modded their older pieces. Thank you for update. Jim | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Thanks to those who responded; you have provided good information and sensible alternatives....To Dwr, I had Bob Backert modify my CJ-PV-8 for a lower noise floor, there was some improvement, but not necessarily revelation. Though in retrospect, i... | |
| Importance of Damping Factor and Current for amps Thanks to all who responded so far and provided a good range of opinion It should be interesting to hear Hooper's impressions about the Pass amps. | |
| Getting FM broadcast on phono mode Thank you to all who responded (so far). I will try each suggestion. | |
| Clearview Golden Helix and Double Helix cables To Slaw3, Yes, some of their "free" tweaks seem off the wall. Skinning back the casing on cables and material off of the tweeter surrounds does not seem wise or helpful. Until I received the catalogue, I had my mind set on Acoustic Zen's Hologram ... | |
| Vinyl pops and clicks: Can they be eliminated?? Dan ed, In my response to DD, I used the term "negligent in record care" Though, it may have been a poor choice of words, I was attempting to explain to DD my impression of his assessment. I have approximately 65 LPS; Most were bought new; some bo... | |
| Vinyl pops and clicks: Can they be eliminated?? I want to thank the membership for advice that was helpful and also "friendly". To those who ask about the state of my health, I appreciate your concern; and, I am much better. Thank you and Adios, Jim | |
| Vinyl pops and clicks: Can they be eliminated?? Dougdeacon, Yes, I did post in August 2008 regarding record care advice. As my post indicates, I take good care of my records. This is the first time in 40 years, I encountered the "skipping" problem I described. I have no intention of dumping the... | |
| Best sounding Supertramp's "Breakfast in America" Thank you to all who have responded. Question: What is an SHM-CD?? and through what outlets are they available?? Are they compatible with standard CD formats?? I have a Rega Apollo CD player. Thanks, Jim | |
| Best speaker cable for Acoustic Zen's Adagios Jkuc, Are you currently using the Satori or the Hollogram II?? I should have mentioned in the post that my amp is a Creek SE 5350 Classic integrated amp(85RMS). Though, it could be replaced by separates. The Creek seems to perform way over its sti... | |
| Ribbon tweeters: Do they create a ringing sound?? Thanks to all memebers who have responded, your comments are very helpful. I hope others, especially Adagios owners will get into the discussion. Nevertheless, I really like these speakers, even though I have only played them about 10-15 hours. Th... | |
| Bi-wire Silverline Prelude II: Is it worth it?? The Preludes do have a jumper connection to both pairs of speaker inputs. But, I think Tvad and Dill are suggesting something else... Do you mean use another set of speakers cables and leave the Silverline jumper bars connected to the two pair of ... | |
| Need advice about hi-end amp/pre-amp Rar, Jaybo and others. The Creek is excellent in many respects. I can't generally fault its performance. Though, it can sound bright and a tad edgy, but there are other factors in the system and my new living room space which are contributing to t... |
