| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I have owned CJ Premier 14, 16 and now the ET5. There was a dramatic improvement in going from the premier 14 to 16. The 16 was significantly better than the 14 in every way: Wider soundstage, deeper soundstage, more detail and stronger bass.I nev... | |

| Wilson WP 7 with Air Tight ATM 211 I use Watt/Puppy 7's with Cary 805C (845 tube). It is a very good match. Before purchasing the watt/puppies I contacted Wilson and they stated they have demonstrated the 7's with Cary 805's at audio show's in the past. | |
| Lexicon MC 1 change to MC 4 ? Hi I made the switch from MC 1V4 to MC4. The MC 4 is a little brighter than the MC1. The MC4 is more resolving than the MC1.I am glad I made the switch.John | |
| Best tube amp for Wilson Watt/Puppy I use cary 805c on watt/puppy 7's. | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? I use Cary 805C with a pair of watt/puppy 7's. People who I have talked too who actually use watt/puppies with low powered tube amps use the amps 8 ohm tap. For some reason this creates a magical combination. I know this is contrary to what the ex... | |
| Cary 805, deHavilland or Atma-Sphere? Anyone cares My Cary 805c was made in North Carolina. I have owned both the Cary 805C and Cary 300B signature. The two amps have completely different presentations. The 845 is big and breezy while the 300b is more immediate and focused. I found using a Sophia ... | |

| Shuguang 845B vs Shuguang 845M In my Cary 805C I have used 845, Shuguang 845B and Sophia 845M. I have used the 845M for 4 months with no problems. I absolutely love the sound of the 845M and would not entertain the thought of going back to the 845B or 845.John | |
| upgrade my home theater now 3 adcom 100 watt amps Upgrade your receiver to a lexicon processor. This will give you a cleaner cripser sound. Then add two more speakers and use lexicon logic-7. | |
| Levinson source with CJ amps experience I have a series 1. I purchased mine on Audiogon for just under 4k. I think the series 1 should sell for the same price as a used ML 380s. IE between 3,200 and 3,800. CJ quoted me 1,000 to update my 16 to a series 2 and add a home theater by pass.John | |
| Levinson source with CJ amps experience I have not used the CJ DAC and transport. I have heard second hand that the CJ DAC was not one of their better products. Prior to the Levinson front end I used a Theta Gen Va and data basic II. I prefer the Levinson front end. I can see how some p... | |
| Levinson source with CJ amps experience I have used CJ and Levinson extensively. They both have a similar presentation and in my opinion work well together. All my combinations use the Levinson 37 transport. First I used a CJ Premier 11a, CJ Premier 14 and ML 36s. When I got the upgrade... | |
| No 30.5 & 31.5. Still of reference quality ? I replaced my theta data basic II and gen Va with a mark levinson 37 and 360s. The levinson gear is a lot more relaxed in its presentation. If nothing elsetry replacing your data basic II with a cheap (200.00 US) sony dvd player. This made a big d... | |
