| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments I spent some more time on this. Nice speakers, by the way!. Some years ago I had a similar pair of JM Labs/Focal tower speakers with almost identical specs to yours. I drove them with a Conrad Johnson MV-55 amp. It was an awesome pairing - very f... | |
| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments Current products from Audio Research, Lamm, Naim, CJ, VAC, Linn, Pass, D’Agostino should do the trick for you. Probably many others, but these are brands I’ve heard that do a nice job of image separation. | |
| When were the best tube amps made? 40 years ago a Dynaco tube amp got me into his pursuit. There are plenty I haven't heard, but the CJ ART Stereo 150 is the one that I can unconditionally recommend. | |
| CJ's New ART88 Preamp Hi GRK, Thanks Just checked. Nothing there yet, but appreciate the help! | |
| Streamers and their Fuses BrandonHiFi- Good to hear that you were able to upgrade your system at relatively low additional cost. I was a big skeptic on fuses (and power cords) until I heard the differences that they make too! The improvement from stock fuse to SR Purple i... | |
| How long does it take to get a Lyra cartridge? Thank you everyone for the ideas and answers. This this is the help that makes me really appreciate the Audiogon community! | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. Tiffany Pollock & Co (Blues in my Blood, Bayou Liberty) | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? My family or college roommates always had stereo systems, but in my early twenties when I got my own place I was on my own. Got a Denon receiver and a Dual TT at Harvey's in New York City and a Nakamichi tape deck at Audio breakthroughs in Hunting... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I don't know Morrow. May want to try NR power cables from Shunyata. A Shunyata Zi-tron digital alpha helped my system a lot in regard to top end edginess brightness and their new generation NR PC's are supposed to be even better. Are you using s... | |
| Amplifier recommendation +1 Jjss. Need to know what speakers to even begin to answer. | |
| Power cords can make a tremendous difference in Digital Old thread, but yes the right PC makes a big difference. I just replaced a nice audiophile name general PC on my Rossini DAC with a Shunyata Alpha digital Zitron on and it took the top end glare right out. This was the finishing touch that this ... | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? Agree with those saying bookshelves plus sub(s) as well put by Soix. Could also consider JL Audio e-112 sub(s) for clean bass foundation. Good Luck! | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? Conrad Johnson Art 150 Stereo Amp. Brought everything to life with good detail, solid mids and bass. | |
| Upgrading Shunyata is my go-to for power cords. Not sure about your system or budget, but if you buy used I'd recommend CX series or better. | |
| When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one... Yes this exact situation happened to me. I had an mv55 Conrad Johnson tube amp. I sounded glorious with my JM Labs Daline 2.1's, which were limited range speakers that went down to about 40 hertz. I put the mv55 on a pair of Wilson wp7s and heard ... |
