Musical Joy - Money PitDarren. The cary's sound more like a classic tube amp, in being they are slightly laid back, absolutely no grain in the upper frequencies, however can sometimes sound a little polite and lower volu... posted about 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitSystem edited: I replaced the VTL 7.5 with a s/h cary SLP-98P and that added some musicality and tube warmth. just replaced the cnj prem350 with cary CAD 500MB monoblocks. The 500MB's just sound wo... posted about 18 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberMike. I think you answered my question. I generally listen between 80 - 90db like yourself. However I do like to crank thye volume from time to time so that is generally in the 95db plus range.... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
My De-Compression ChamberMike, Do the quattro's and 5's like to be played hard and loud. I have heard differing opinions, however I do like to crank up the music, but not if the speaker can't handle it. posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitYes John I just leave the switchs in neutral. They do make a difference, but it is subtle. posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitJohn. that is good to see the BAT upgrade was worth it. If I had an all balanced system I would luv to hear one. Besides the BAT distributor is a dick. won't let you hear anything unless you buy it... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Magnepan 20.1 HavenGeorge, have you compared your PH2 to the PH5. I am listening to one now and it sounds great. reasonably quiet so it can drive my dyna xv-1s and nice bloom that only tubes can do.cheers posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitJohn. U r doing the right thing upgrading your phono stage. The top of the line BAT phono is supposed to be awesome.cables are just the icing on the cake. valhalla's are very expensive, buying ... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitJohn. I am getting RCA on both ends. The VTL has both balanced and RCA connections.Sounds like Valhalla cables would suit your new speakers perfectly :). sounds like a trip to the audiogon clas... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money Pithappy listening John. It is always fun to have a new toy to listen to and it sounds as if you have found the ideal speaker for u. the mahlers require a certain amount of volume before they become a... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitYou are correct John, the mahlers sound great with the powerful cjprem350's now.What has the Verity speakers brought to the musical equation for you?. posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitI think I am going to have to change my summary up top. The mahlers are sounding better than ever, now that I have the SS cjprem350 amp. That has really brought the bass under control as well as mo... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitJeff, I know what you mean re Zyx being the current flavor of the mnth. Same thing last year re Shelter cartridges. Once they have been around for a while, they seem to get dropped from the radar s... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitHi Jeff. I have owned Dynavectors for about quite a while now. Started off with XX-1, then te-kaitora, then XV-1, then after that replaced the XV-1s. You may call me biased or know what I like. I h... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Musical Joy - Money PitOzzy. thanks, while the system may have changed over the years the LP's have stayed and grown in size.Nice system yourself. Isn't it a bit of a pain having your TT so low?. posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitDgad, sure email me the manual. BTW, I am not a big fan of nearfield listening and the way my room is structured, bringing the speakers more from the back wall does make the listening more nearfield. posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitHi Dgad. I had the VTL's in my system for 3 weeks and then bought in the cjprem350 to listen. In my system the VTL750 just sounded slow and thick in the bass compared to the prem350. The 750's were... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money Pitthanks for the compliment John. The Mahlers are sounding a lot better with the SS cjprem350 amp and a tip from Raquel to move the speakers a little more forward. I might need to change my c... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitDrake. I am sure Kimber will work with cj. cj use them as one of several cables they use in the factory. I'll see if I can get hold of the demo 3033 to test against the Valkrya and harmonic.BTW... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitDrake. the kimber distributor also has some demo 3033 wire that has been used on his system - I think for at least 100 hours. Are you saying the burned in 3033 will sound better than the low ho... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitDrake, The cables were pretty close to new. Got them off the Aussie distributor. he said they sound good straight out of the box and keep getting better. 1000 hours seems OTT thou. I don't see... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Musical Joy - Money PitHi Ray. thanks for the compliment. Like your big Marley wall hanging!. I believe the paradims have great dynamic bass and you cj would mate nicely with their sound. The prem 350 sounds luvely, ... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment |
