| What amp for Thiel cs3.5's? I have a Conrad Johnson MF2500A driving my Thiel 3.6's and feel it does a great job. This amp is about 1800 to 2200 used which is out of your price range. I agree with warrenh in that you need good clean power to drive the Thiels and get the most ... | |
| CJ MF 2500A:is it gonna open up? I had my MF2500 upgraded with the "A" mod. After the mod it also sounded very harsh and metallic at first. I was begining to wonder if the mod was worth it. But after about 40-50 hours of use it smoothened out and became more open and detailed and... | |
| CJ Preamp LS17/LS 16 Owners Why Did You Sell Yours I sold my 17 to upgrade to the 16. I love the unit and would only sell my 16 to upgrade to the art.C | |
| Pass Labs X250 vs Bryston 4BSST vs CJ MF2500A? I have the MF2500A driving Thiel 3.6's and like it very much. The A upgrade was a substantial improvement. I would now consider it the equal to the Pass X250; which is also very good. I have not heard the Bryston so I can not comment.Chuck | |
| amp-preamp considerations. MachineI have had personnel experience with a tube amp; premier 11a. I sold it because it was not enough power to drive my thiels. I love what tube amps do that is provide the inner detail in the mid to high-end frequencies that ss simply can not ... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. Of the pre's you mentioned either the pass or as someone else mentioned the CJ premier 18. However, In my opinion you would have been better off with a tube pre and ss amp for which there are many more synergistic matches. Tube amps require more m... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. I think we have answered this question before. I would buy at the very minimum a CJ premier 17lsII and maybe jump to the 16lsII. Either pre-amp will bring out the best in the prmier 140 anything less is a waste. Any of the pre's you mentioned are ... | |
| c-j prem 140 RecWhat amp and speakers are you currently using as well as front end? I am running a CJ MF2500A with CJ 16ls2 and I am cosidering upgrading to the 140. I have an SCD-1 and Thiel 3.6 speakers with audioquest anaconda interconnects and volcano spea... | |
| c-j prem 140 I would suggest nothing less than a CJ Premier 17ls tubed pre-amp. Your adcom is far below your amp and cd player and is without a doubt the weakest link in your system. I would not even consider modding it. | |
| What are the best receptacles and plugs? I am using PS Audio Power Ports wired to a 20 amp dedicated circuit. I replaced Pass & Seymore 20A hospital grade outlets with the PS Audio's and feel they were a worthwhile upgrade. However, there is a significant amount of material concernin... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 350 solid state amp Cool I was curious as to when this amp was going to become available after having heard of its production intent. I am looking forward to hearing one. | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? Mchd1 I found them on E-Bay. I have delt with this person a couple of times and he been very reputable. | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? Quincy, I still miss that tube amp. I never should have sold it.........or maybe I need to buy a Premier 140 or better yet a mono-bloc pair. | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? I have been using the EH 6922 gold pin version in my CJ 16ls and like them very much. I agree with you that they are better than the Sovteks. I have tried JAN Philips NOS and the EH are much better. I have not tried any of the high end rare NOS li... | |
| c-j tube amps What Ron8 says is correct. You can also peruse the CJ web site for more info or simply call them for more info. |
