| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Guys thanks for your feedback. I agree that with any new company U.S. or overseas you run the risk of support in the future. We all have seen some old names go down for the count the last few years. I know that Cayin and Prima Luna were copying de... | |
| Are Def techs 7000 series real competitors? Foster 9 thanks for the feedback The question didn't stay on the front page long enought to get many responses. When I sold my last house I had to box up my Revel Salons because everyone wanted the speakers to come with the home theater room. No o... | |
| which amp to upgrade my Levinson 383/39/WattPuppy6 I find the synergy with harmon products to be very important. You may want to jump up in power. An inexpensive way to "try" this is there are usually many Proceed HPA 2 on the gon that you could buy for less than 1.5k if it works you can keep it o... | |
| Levinson 431, Theta Dreadnaught, Classe CA2200? I own a pair of Salons and give you an inexpensive alternative. I use a Proceed AMP 5 and use 4 of the 5 channels to run the speakers. I just split the input at the amp end so I don't need two sets of cables. You run two speaker wires or just a se... | |
| unrepairable Proceed PMDT Same thing happened to me. You see a ton of NIB for sale here on Gon. I ended up using the Sony ES9000 as the transport which for me worked just fine. You really don't have many options other than to ask for a 20T. If you have all your warranty in... | |
| Levinson source with CJ amps experience Do you have series 1 or 2 of the 16? There are a couple for sell right now one of each version. Any thoughts??? | |
| Levinson source with CJ amps experience Thanks Welcher Have you ever used the CJ dac and transport or any other digital front end with your system? I was very happy with the CJ14 but I know it is a little long in the tooth. How would you compare the ML380 to the CJ16ThanksTommy | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? MrderrickThe amps were at another home with the same power company. They didn't hum there. I listened to the my parasound amps in my surround system and they hum too, they are behind a wall and the transformers are about 10% of the size of the Pas... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? SteveThe mfg said that is the power that is causing the hum and sure enough when I made the filter it got rid of about 80% of the hum. I posted this thinking that someone else might have a easy cure. I'll clip some more diodes across to see what h... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? SteveI have decaded 20A lines to each amp and voltage reads a solid 119 plus change on each one. Do you think any of the power conditioners will fix this problem? Do I put the second set of diodes across the first set? Thanks Tommy | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Guys thanks for the feedback, I do have two diodes invertered, and prior to these amps I had Cary SLAM 100s which didn't rattle at all. I did speak with Nelson Pass and he is the one that gave me the filter idea. I can't tighten the transformers a... | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Both amps hums just alike. Before building a filter made up of two caps and a diode I could hear the hum when I walked into the room. Now I hear it when I walk over to the amps. I'm just looking for a fix that doesn't cost 5 grand. Any thoughts? | |
| Conrad Johnson DA2b... "Is it the Tubes? AdamI had the DR1 transport and DA2B DAC with a 14preamp and 12mono blocks and thought it sounded magical. It certainly sounded better than the adcom stuff it replaced. Many of the DAC are now getting up in age and may need the tubes replaced. Cal... | |
| 99 10W Tube Mono Blocks? I listened to these amps at CES and if you send me a self addressed envelope I will send you a picture I took of them. They sounded great for the money but the speakers were about 10 times their price. If I remember correctly the source was some C... | |
| HALCRO Amplifiers I heard the amps in Las Vegas driving a pair of JM Labs Mezzo Utopia. It was one of the few rooms that really stood out from the rest. I just wish they didn't retail for 20k. At that price point they better sound better(different) than the big one... |
