| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I've recently compared a friend's modified bistream to the Wyred 4 and the bistream was more musical on Redbook. I own a fully modified Bidat and it is better than the bitstream, so logic would dictate that it probably bests the Wyred 4 DAC. This ... | |
| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC I know some will see this as heresey and I don't want to start a " do power cords work" debate, but I and several other Bidat and bitstream users feel that Shunyata power cords or an equally serious brand enable these units to perform at a much hi... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year As soon as I buy something somebody posts the very same item for less than I paid.Some audiophiles shoppers have the communication skills of Rain Man. Yes. No. Maybe. Long silences.Some of the nicest people in the world are fellow audiophiles.Happ... | |

| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Tomcy6,Thanks so much for the tip! I will check the DR version out. If anyone knows of the most " reliable" source let me know. | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Audio blazer,I put new tubes in last week and was blown away by the improvement...so I agree that refreshing tubes is a good idea. One thing about the Ct5 is that it's tough on tubes. Even CJ customer service recommends every 1500 hours.Tomy,The c... | |
| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC The Wright mods are a must. I've owned both the bitstream and the bidat and the mods put both units in world-class territory. I also second the Moray James digital interconnect recommendation. I think the cable is equal to the mods because moray's... | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Hmmm, after 10 days and more than 100 views of the question, I'm beginning to believe that CJ tubes are the best choice for the CT5. | |
| Help me solve static electricity problem All I can say is that rubbing a dryer sheet on my hands before I touch a component has been foolproof since i started this thread a year ago....and my static problem was severe. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone for whom this dyi fix has no... | |
| Help a new guy get started Allen, I've been listening to high end audio for nearly 20 years and am not a dealer nor do I have any friends who sell equipment. That said, the very best and most cost-effective improvement I ever made was the jump to Shunyata power cords and co... | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Damn this iPad auto- correcting keyboard! That's C-o-n-r-a-d. Sorry. | |
| Help a new guy get started A_ cross,If you're already yearning to be enveloped by your music, you better start saving your spare pennies. ;-). Sounds like you've got a good ear. As long as you keep it perspective (lol), you've got a lot of years of listening pleasure ahead ... | |
| best cables to use with conrad johnson ct5 & dna 5 I have a CT5 and use the magic II's to a Classe Delta 2200 amp. They truly are like comfortable,well-made shoes. Once you put them on, you stop shopping....which is not to say there aren't better cables out there...but I doubt there are at this pr... | |
| St. Louis, Missouri Jim, I'll email you directly. For anyone else who lurks, the Gateway Audio Society is simply fantastic. I would never have found out about it without the audiogon forums. Contact me if you wanna know more. | |
| Should I end my search Last week I brought a set of Shunyata python pc's to a friend's house. We had a blast swapping them in and out. He wants me to bring them back this weekend to try with some newer music. It's a hobby and as long as it's fun and doesn't lead to "fli... |
