| Classe CAM 350 upgrade for Conrad Johnson MF2500A? You might consider the c-j CA200 integrated. I think you could input your preamp into the "theater" input but I'm not sure. I'd call c-j to verify that. Or you might like the sound of the integrated itself. Lots of good reviews to read and there a... | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite A couple of questions, Steve. Did you do something that caused your PFR to fry or did it do it all by itself? Did you ask why it took so long to fix? There may be an excusable reason.If you got terrible service for no good reason, I would let Mr. ... | |
| any veiws on apogee centaur speakers I had a pair of Slant 6s. They are great speakers. There are few speakers that have a following like Apogees so long after they were discontinued. | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari If possible, you could buy the Strads before selling the Revels, compare them to the Revels and keep the speakers you liked best. No lingering doubts that way. | |
| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? Geoff Muldaur, he and Maria were once married and performed in the Jim Kweskin Jug Band together, plays a low key jug band, prewar blues type of music.Check out some of his albums on Amazon. You should find something you like. | |
| Ultra High Definition 32-Bit Master? Thanks for your opinion Lloydelee. I have enjoyed the APO SACDs I've purchased and have some good sounding XRCDs. I guess I'll give FIM a try. | |
| When to go solid state vs. vacuum? If you want to try a tube amp PrimaLuna is an easy way to go. They sell integrateds which have 4 preamp tubes and 4 power tubes, not too complex but it still allows for trying different tube combinations (known as tube rolling). The power tubes ar... | |
| Tannoy GLENAIR 15 vs DALI HELICON 800 MK2 ? Hifi76, Did the Tannoys produce the sound that you enjoy? Sound that you will be able to live with for a long time? If so, that's the right speaker for you.Have you heard the Dalis at all? To me they are a little on the warm, rich side of the spec... | |
| Tannoy GLENAIR 15 vs DALI HELICON 800 MK2 ? Jburidan, no apology needed. You were just thinking out loud.The Krell is a powerful amp, 300 wpc, I believe. The Tannoy's sensitivity is 95 db which means you will need to keep the volume control turned down low. The 6moons reviewer used a 200 wp... | |
| Tannoy GLENAIR 15 vs DALI HELICON 800 MK2 ? I have not heard the Tannoys but the Dalis are not incoherent. Many of the best speakers available have 3 or 4 different sized cones, domes or ribbons that are integrated into a pleasing whole. If the Dali distributor has the 400 mkII it should gi... | |
| Audible Illusions vs CJ preamps: sonic difference? RE: the original question, let me put in a good word for c-j. I have not heard the AI. The PV-11 and 12 are long discontinued budget preamps. You will generally find the current production c-j preamps in Class A in Stereophile and recommended in T... | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite Thanks Invenio78! | |
| APO Doors Reissues Let us know how they sound Fjn04. | |
| APO Doors Reissues Michael Fremer did indeed give this album a great review and I'm sure he got it right. But since it's the same poor mix, I can't see buying it again for a marginal improvement in sound quality. Remember that most of us don't have systems as reveal... | |
| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's Not a Heavy Metal band but a Heavy Classic Rock band, Spooky Tooth made a classic album, "Spooky Two", great album. That's the only one I can recommend. They put out others you might want to explore if you like Spooky Two. |
