| CJ Preamp help please If you are considering the 17, take a serious look at the 16 series 2. CJ is running a special on this. They also refer to it as the Baby ART. It is the way to go. What amp are you using? | |
| Would you sleep better at night if..... I cannot even begin to answer your question, but you should call Karen Sumner at Transparent. She is great to deal with and extremely knowledgeable of equipmnet. She started out in the industry as the US importer for Electrocompaniet and the went ... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? Tweekerman-- Thanks for your input. I accept your comments. | |
| Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle OK, I will close this tread from my perspective but let you all continue to chat. My CJ is up and running and after a short side track with CD versus transport, etc. I circled back to speakers. As one of you said above, it comes down to what sound... | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? I have never owned a Jolida. I have listened to them and worked on one for a friend. The 302 is a nice piece of equipment. Jolia should not be degraded. We all tweak everything else and then when we tweak or improve the Jolida we trash it. Wrong! ... | |
| Placette pre amp I have been an advocate of passive preamps for years. I have been using a Stan Warren buffered line stage for about 8 years. I recently upgraded my amp to a CJ MV-60 and was uncertain if I needed to upgrade my preamp. I only run a CD player, so I ... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 Here's one other option. Stan Warren modified Adcom 5200 or 5300. Give Stan a call and check it out. | |
| Audiophile oddities I can't tell you what they are but I can tell you one other story. A long established European amp manufacturer had 4 little black boxes in his 60 and 100 watt amps. I was helping him stabalize the amps for the US market -- Europeans think that be... | |
| Speakers for Conrad-Johnson MV-60 Greetings! Time to close this thread, at least from my end. The advice was great and spot on! Thanks. Taking into consideration all the variables, included my ears and sanity, I took an intermediary step and went with Meadowlark Kestrals with my o... | |
| CD - upgrade, replace used, buy new? Good morning all! Thanks for all the input. You got me thinking, listening and even more confused. The PD93 is on A-gon for sale -- hard call. It served me well and has lots of good listening time left in it for someone else. Stan Warren and I ago... | |
| Need Advice on Downsizing :- Hey! I share the concerns of the other readers. I was there 15 years ago and with 2 young kids. My first advice is to not rush into anything and think through your options. I agree with many above, the cables can go first. They will sell fast and ... | |
| Volume Controls for CD Players I assume that you are looking to eliminate your preamp. I have tried this also, especially as I enter my stage of minimalism. All the feedback you received is accurate. We all hear things differently and have different systems, so there is no one ... | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas There is a lot of good advice. Teac and Denon both have very nice systems (mini/compact) for under $1000 that sound good. Take a hard look. The girl friend factor is probably worse than the wife factor. Do not play around with used electronics. Us... | |
| Best used amp for around 500 You have a lot of great recommendations. Sonograph SA 250, Dynaco St 70 and Complete would be my choices. Interesting mix that would depend on the rest of the system. Integrateds have come a long way and there is more you can do with them. Go afte... | |
| Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle No problem. This is what it is all about. Having fun and sending some jabs and challenges. I'm tempted to grab up a pair of Swans just for the reason you said -- affordable and good. But I want to save a few dollars to do something with my CD. I a... |
