does more power=better quality ?
A little off the subject but seems somewhat relevanet. Given the argument that fewer devices, simpler design, gives a better quality sound, less to mess it up, would an OTL amplifier be a more reasonable solution, rather than looking at power alon... 
does more power=better quality ?
Great general question, I have really enjoyed the answeres 
Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants
Photon45,The noise in the fan is what got me to upgrade to the P-500. Much quieter. 
upgrading 2prong power cord on CJ SA250 amp -help
Hit up C-J on their website for the info, they're very good at getting back and providing reasonable info to questions like this 
Rogue 66 Magnum vs. CJ Premier 17 LS
Always try for an audition, worsse they can say is NO. I have the Premier 16LSII and short of going for an ACT2, which I feel I have no need to upgrade I am staying put with it for the nexst ten years or so. It is that good.IMHO 
Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.?
I second Czbbcl's choices. C-J may make the best, heavy on the may, preamps around. I bought originally a PV 11 and after ten years upgraded to a Premier 16LSII, it is strictly magical. The Premier 17 goes for 2500 =/- 500 on average and is also a... 
BAT + VR 4 JR = ?
I heard the VS4sr, I know it is different, but the speaker wire for it matched, by chance, the internal wire of the speaker, perhaps for synergy this may not be a bad way to go. Just a thought. I would be interested in what others had to say on th... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Robm321It turns out my review of what I heard was also not fair to the VonSchweiker4jr. Went back to the stereo store and discovered that instead of being by-wired as they are intended to be they were but rather using somesort of cord that allows ... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
Robm321My experience is my experience. Not having bought these speakers I have not bought into them and have nothing to defend, merely giving my impression. I agree that a 1/2 or so demo in a store is not nearly representative of a day or even wee... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I heard them about a week ago in a dealers room, I found the base a little bit forward and heavier or more pronounced than I like, the highs were not quite as clear. Be great for rock. It was set up on an all BAT system, so tubes all the way, whic... 
Best 70+ Watt Tube amp
thanks for the suggestions and the input, it gave me a starting point which in my confusion at times is often valuable 
Interconnects for Conrad Johnson amp/pre?
I have had the C-J PV11 till about a year ago, now have the Premier 16, I found that Nordost Red Dawn worked really well, it was quick, open and cooled down some of the warmth which I like. they go for about 180-200 on Agon, so a bit higher than y... 
Head's up on Thor
I have a Thor TA-3000 phono preamp and have been in love with it since turning it on. I tried a number of otheres including Pass, Herron, Rouge, and Conrad-Johnson amongst others. The C-J really surprised me because my preamp and amp are theirs, b... 
Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables
I have definite biases against pure silver, but a great love of cables containing silver and either gold and/or copper. I realize it does not tell you anything other than my opinion but it is based on what may be facts that 1) silver is easily con... 
acoustic vs. electronic
probably right based on the sound quality, thanks
