| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube Chuck, they are monoblocs but not on 1 chassis if I understand you correctly. You get two 92 pound monsters. | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube Chuck,No I didn't, I don't have a pass dealer near me. I was so surprised when I heard the Mac's it really changed my perspective and I was a little relieved that I didn't have to compare 5, 6 or more brands to be really satisfied.I've had a class... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube Chuck, I know your a CJ man, me too, I've owned 2 CJ preamps and currently using premier 14. I also have the 3.6's and urge you to give Mcintosh C501 mono's a listen. I compared directly to the 350 and preferred the 501's. Just midrange magic with... | |
| I can't taste my beer...or hear my cables Never try to distinguish between wire without a minimum of 6 beers, 8 to 12 and you really hear the difference! | |
| what is the sound like on a levinson 336 I love my 501's driving Thiel 3.6. Can't compare to the Lev 336. Paul described them best. | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? Well put Chuck! I like Thiels and I like MIT, I knew mit was way controversial but I didn't know Thiel was. It's just a hobby for cryin out loud! | |
| How important are transports? Years ago I was auditioning speakers in my home, the dealer offered a Meridan 200 transport, I already had the meridian 263 dac driven by a Rotel 845 (i think ) The transport made a bigger difference than the speakers! I ended up buying the transp... | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? Arthur, I understand - good luck with school, when it's over you can buy whatever you want! | |
| What speaker after Thiel 7.2? Hi Rob, I looked at your system and it appears your Thiels are placed rather close together, perhaps 6 or 7 feet apart. For best results more distance is optimum but you might not have that option in your room. It makes a gigantic difference with ... | |
| transparent plus or straightwire rhapsody Rex is right, plus many 'goners are only familiar with brands in their system, and that's what they usually recommend, without extensive experience with others. Just take advice with a grain of salt. | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? Arthur, hold out for the 501's - I never dreamed my Thiel 3.6's were capable of the music they are kicking out! | |
| Tube Pre suggestions for Mac Amp I'm using a CJ premier 14 with Mullard tubes - great match. Mac amps have a low input impedence and some of the newer CJ amps have a high output impedence, the premier 14 is less than 250 ohms, similar to Mac preamps. I don't know if it really mat... | |
| cj preamps I've had my premier 14 for 5 years now, has been very reliable, upgraded from a pv10 - sorry to hear Cytocycle had a bummer with cj - their service with me has been impeccable - but I've had trouble with another so I know the frustration. The cj i... | |
| what amp. to power areial 10-t speakers I would consider Mcintosh 501 mono's. I replaced Classe CA 200 driving thiel 3.6, improvement was a quantum leap. I would consider Classe mono blocks also but I'm not sure they can deliver the bottom end you seek, but you have to be the judge. goo... |
