| Best Solid State for Avalon Isis I would looking into the new Berning monos (Quad Z)...I am auditioning next month. If you are looking at Boulder, perhaps Gryphon Coliseum or Antileon Signatures...both full Class A. Good luck. | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi Downunder,I have not gotten anything yet. In fact, I still am waiting to hear Bernings...now must wait til end of Jan. Expect to listen to Gryphons and CJ just after the new year...hard to get auditions in London sometimes! Plus, the global mkt... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi MicrostripThanks for your advice. I will upgrade to Act 2.2 at some point. I have recommended to audition the Gryphon Antileon Signature.Though SS, it is 150wpc pure Class A, and apparently "ends the discussion" about tube v solid state. I am s... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Hi jskg,thanks...i am a big CJ and SF fan, as apparently you are as well. As i have the ACT 2 preamp and CJ mv60 amp at the moment, i am very seriously considering either of the 2 amps...am leaning towards pushing the boat out, as you say, and get... | |
| CJ Grand Anniversary Triode 300SEB Amp ;). Could be, Downunder! Have u heard the CJ 275's yet? I am due to be listening to Jadis JA200 soon. Will post my thoughts. Same with Berning Quad Z monos. Somehow intuitively, I sense LP275 monos will be the ones.Pls share your thoughts on LP275... | |
| CJ Grand Anniversary Triode 300SEB Amp Confirmed. I too received a response from Ed at CJ who indicated they had yet to come out with the GAT. thanks, Downunder. KNowledgeable as always. | |
| PS Audio Quintet Line Conditioner & Dynamics OK...so i am at over 200hrs, and i am pleased. the delicacy, detail, quite reverb around strings and the air around voices which makes them appear in the room has improved. most important, the dynamic range has returned. good stuff, and definitely... | |
| CJ Grand Anniversary Triode 300SEB Amp Thanks Downunder!!! Great to hear from you as usual! Lloyd | |
| New SACD player Marantz SA8001 : leave it on? Hi ChencI find it always helps to call the manufacturer. I have spoken with the senior folks at Conrad Johnson, Zanden, Sumiko/Absolute Sounds (Distributors for Sonus Faber/other high end names). In every case, I have received great advice on my e... | |
| Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration I accidentally found another (cheap) isolation fix. I have a Zanden 5000S DAC with a very microphonic tube...waiting for tube replacement. (It is so microphonic, that the bass the combination of my SF Strads and Velodyne DD-18 sub causes to tube t... | |
| PS Audio Quintet Line Conditioner & Dynamics Thanks, Chenc. I am at 140 hours or so at the moment. The delicacy and clarity of passages is improved with the Quintet. The volume knob does have to be 25% higher to get same volume. The music still is lacking dynamics (soft to loud), but I will ... | |
| PS Audio Quintet Line Conditioner & Dynamics Hi Dtsag. Thanks for that. I am using the stock cords that came with my equipment. Being Zanden and CJ equipment, I did not change the PCs. When I plugged them straight into the wall, they sounded more dynamic than when I used the Quintet. The Qui... | |
| PS Audio Quintet Line Conditioner & Dynamics Thanks RSA,I am not putting the amp through it, only my Transport, DAC and pre. I have a cheap transport, Zanden 5000S DAC and CJ Act 2. I lost dynamics but will burn in and see what happens. If I choose to sell, I'll let you know! Thanks again. | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Thanks, Larryi. I've seen your posts before and learned from them. I agree with you on Strads. Compared to Wilson Grand Slamms or Maxx 2s, the Strads are more about "feeling the roisin of the violin strings' than dynamic attack and speed. I prefer... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Wow, Downunder...please let me know if you listen to them!!! It is tough/impossible to get CJ in UK where I am. Thanks, Larryi...have read your posts and learned from them. I will try to look into Atmaspheres here in UK. |
