| Preamp suggestions needed If you like your CJ amp, I would get a CJ Preamp. That is really what they are famous for anyway. Some of their tube preamps are among the best commercially available, in my opinion. I like the Premier 3, Premier 10, pv-5 and pv-6.Older units, but... | |
| cj pv10 vs pv12 I second the above post. If you like the Pv-10 or 12, I would suggest taking a look at the premier line as well as some of the older PV series. I have auditioned the pv-10, 12 and 8, and I have owned a Premier 3 (which is wonderful), a PV-5 and a ... | |

| Matching pre amp tubes? If you don't have a ton of cash, using a tube preamp an SS amps is a decent way to get the signature sound of tubes in your system without having to sell appendages or organs to keep up with the cost of replacing power tubes in a tube power amp. M... | |
| speaker effiency I read somewhere that the reason that the term "efficiency" has fallen into disuse and "sensitivity" has supplanted it as the preferred terminology for describing a speaker's ability to convert an electrical signal to sound, is simply because, as ... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS I'm using a pair of Paradigm ref. active 20's and love them - excellent bass to 38hz and for the price (@ $850 used) , you cant go wrong - only need a source and a preamp - the amps are included. | |
| Help-sibilance! Following is an excerpt from the site: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_1_1/v1n1amps.html I suggest reading the whole section on negative feedback. Perhaps you are getting excesive sibilance because of the amp, not the speakers... """" Negati... |
