| Tubes for Conrad Johnson 17 ls I have the 17LS and have tried Telefunken, Valvo, Amperex, Tungsram and Mullards and prefer the Electro Harmonix tubes. Conrad Johnson is now shipping Electro Harmonix tubes as replacements for the 17LS and to my ears they sound better than the So... | |
| Tube preamp, Leave On Always or ON/OFF? Well, I'm glad to see this question was answered definitively. I understand the light bulb thing but I still can't see leaving tubes on 24/7 especially if they are NOS and you have paid big bucks for them. | |
| McCormack UDP-1/MAP-1: Best for the $$ I recently listened to both the McCormack UDP-1 and the Esoteric DV-50 at a dealer showroom and at home and bought the McCormack UDP-1, not because it was $2500 less than the Esoteric DV-50 but because to me it sounded better. I have a Lector CD p... | |
| Anybody heard a LECTOR CDP-7t ? After doing some listening over the last two days I would have to say that the review in The Absolute Sound is consistent with what I have heard from this player. It is smooth, refined, and detailed with excellent bass. The player gets strings and... | |
| Anybody heard a LECTOR CDP-7t ? I am getting mine today. I will post a response after I get a chance to listen. I bought this player without hearing it based on a dealer's recommendation. | |
| How does the Theta Compli compare to the David II I used to own the DaViD and was thinking about the Compli. I have also wondered how the Compli compares to the DaViD and DaViD II as a transport and a video device. Has the Compli replaced the DaViD II in Theta's lineup or do they still make the D... | |
| Use Only 1 Channel of A 2 Channel Amplifier? I asked this same question not too long ago. I am using three channels of a 5 channel Conrad Johnson MF-5600 amp without any problems. I called Conrad Johnson and they said this was perfectly acceptable. There is no need to attach a load to the sp... | |
| Current Mirage OM series vs. Msi series speakers? Soupbone217: The OM-6 produced a huge and very diffuse soundstage. Imaging was very poor and the bass did not integrate well with the top drivers (the bass drivers were on the sides). The OM-6 was also much shorter than the M3si and M1si speakers ... | |
| Current Mirage OM series vs. Msi series speakers? Thanks for your input Joe. I think I will keep my Msi series speakers (M3si front, M7si rear, and MCsi center) for now. Doesn't sound like the money I would have to spend to change my system would be well spent. Worse yet, I might end up regrettin... | |
| Another jitter filter issue The Camelot Technology Dragon 5.1 and Dragon Pro mk III are the only jitter reducing devices that I know of (maybe there are others) that were designed to pass and de-jitter Dolby Digital and DTS signals as well as PCM signals. I use the Dragon 5.... | |
| CJ Premier 17LS2 vs Premier 16LS2? Does the LS16 series 2 still use the 6922 tubes as did the LS16? | |
| Camelot Roundtable MK 3 I had my Camelot Round Table mk I updated to the mk III status about six months ago. The mk III is better (quiter background, better imaging, more extended highs and lows and smoother on the top end) but the mk I had a full warm sound in the midra... | |
| Faroujda DV1000 vs. Denon 1600 vs. Arcam DV88 I don't think that the Faroudja can read and output a DTS signal. This was an issue with some of the early DVD players. This may or may not be an issue for you. | |
| Does it make sense to introduce/buy CD-only player I called Conrad Johnson last week to see if they had any plans to produce a CD only player to replace their DV2b player which was introduced in 1998. I was told probably not because making a CD only player was risky business in this age of multipl... | |
| Dolby Digital Jitter Bug Camelot Technology Dragon 5.1. It can accept DTS, DD, and 24/96 PCM. |
