| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Conrad johnson EV1 changed my set up and added such detail. | |
| Conrad Johnson amp and Pass Labs Pre I can now say I own a Pass Labs XA25 and own a CJ ET-5 as well. I own a PASS Xp-10 pre. The CJ PRE sounds much better as exactly as described above by medeardo. Nelson was right. The Pass Labs dealer did not agree so I guess he has no knowledge ... | |
| Used audiophile preamp Conrad Johnson pre's are really what they are know for best, although their amps are incredible. CJ Premier product line is usually Stereophile status such as Premier 16LS; Premier 17LS, etc (not Premier 18 in my opinion) ET5 is newer and in ways ... | |
| CJ Premier 17LS2 vs ET5/7 A side note; the Premier 17 is in no way a slouch, is in every way one of the best CJ pre's ever. Try the 6922 Genelax Gold Lions and you'll find something new maybe. | |
| CJ Premier 17LS2 vs ET5/7 The quick answer is ET5 over ET7... read on as to why I feel this way. Yes, I have both pre's now and have had the ET7, and Gat series 2. I have a Premier 17LS/ LS2 and Premier 16LS2. There are a few ways to go here. ET5 for the money I bought min... | |
| Seller is responsible to get item to you, intact. yes? or no? The sellers part is not over until it arrives at your door in tact they shipped it and it had better arrive in tact and packed well. Your part is to let them know immediately if there is an issue. Or to not accept the package if it’s damaged. Make... | |
| PASS LABS XO.2 Preamplifier 3 Chassis or Pass Labs XP-10 Karl_desch, the upgrade to the 22 from the 10, is it worth the $$ spent? | |
| PASS LABS XO.2 Preamplifier 3 Chassis or Pass Labs XP-10 Toddcowless; you remind me of a good point I read in some reviews if I remember correctly, the XP-10 has bass plus, but XP-20 has bass in a controlled, subtle and appealing way. I've had some great CJ pre's like GAT version2, ET-7, and have an ET-... | |
| PASS LABS XO.2 Preamplifier 3 Chassis or Pass Labs XP-10 Karl_desch, Thank you for the thought. I would prefer a XP20, but will accept a 10. I did purchase an XA25 after communicating with Nelson on the subject. I don't want to short the experience with any less of a Pre. How is the 22?JAH | |
| First Watt F7 driving Wilso Sophia II's? tooblue667 It was worth a thought. My CJ tube amp is an ART 150, using KT150's and 6922's hooked up to my ET5 or Premier 16LS2 or Premier 17LS and then the Sophia II's. The ART with the ET5 is close to Nirvana, the ART 150 reminds me of my Premier... | |
| First Watt F7 driving Wilso Sophia II's? georgehifi. You are not incorrect. In fact my Wilsons liked the solid state Premier 350 from CJ best. It could run them at volume 4-15 and be completely in control, meaning the sound was full and rich where in comparison the Premier 12’s tube amps... | |
| Conrad Johnson amp and Pass Labs Pre I read Nelson Pass on a DYI site say that CJ and Pass work well together so, I imagined his opinion was a good one. j | |
| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... So much conjecture. I have Coppy’s Premier 350. It’s outstanding. I don’t get anyone who thinks 2005 amp that was absolute reference top of the line would be ”too old”. Ridiculous! Great yesterday can still be great today. If it sounds good, etc.... | |
| Wilson Audio SOPHIA II"s or III"s; good or bad passion.;on CJ gear ? I don't have this problem with my Wilson Sophia II's. In addition, I use Acoustic ZEN cables, They are bi-wire on one end and not on the other. I simply use both wires on the speaker end and the one set coming from the amp. I do not feel the Sophi... | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Wilson Audio is an excellent thought.. What amp; pre do you run? |
