    Re: marantz 2270 static

    Yes, I restored several 2270s over the years, the speaker relay often needed cleaning or replacing on many 2270s.

    Re: GAT2 tube choices and recommendations?

    Well said Joe! I've stayed with GAT2 and the ART300s and I see no way of any major improvements without spending piles of $$$.
    For me, the GAT2 was an improvement, however I have zero doubt that...

    Re: DH Labs Revelation interconnects

    I've been using DH Labs Pro Studio Analog Interconnect cable for years now. @ $11 a foot, put whatever connectors ya like on it and you've got a great cable at a reasonable cost.

    Re: Conrad Johnson ART27A Stereo Triode Tube Amp

    If I were guessing here, I'd suspect that Jeff (CJ Owner) is probably beginning to make his own statement on what is now his company.

  7. Re: Accuphase A-70 enough to drive Magnepan 20.7 or 30.7?

    That's such a sweet amp..would probably sound amazing on 20.7s, but, I'd bet that on those occasions where ya want to play hard (loud) you'd be wanting more power.
  8. Re: How long does it take to adequately warm up the tubes (power and preamp) of a tube amp designed for home audio?

    I really don't notice any major changes during warm up of the CJ gear... a slight change during the first half hour or so, but, it's sweet from the start!

    Re: New Mark Knopfler Nov 16th

    I agree totally, the Tracker recording was in my opinion stunning in both quality and content. This latest recording is probably my least favorite of all his albums, but, I'd buy a 2 minute...
  13. Re: Any sound quality difference between FLAC & WAV?

    Yea I always assume purchased WAV were FLAC at some point anyway... only other thing I tried but forgot to mention was ripping CDs to FLAC and WAV.

    Re: How important is sound stage to you?

    It's critically important to me. Many recordings are superb with depth, width, placement and focus. Yes, some are very strange for sure.

    Re: Kr kt150

    For me personally, at 4X the price of Tung-Sols, they'd need to somehow sound pretty darned good. No problem with size on "cageless" CJ ART300s. Or maybe if their life expectancy was improved.

    Re: Kr kt150

    I don't know if I'm guesstimating incorrectly, but these new Tubes would come in around 4X the cost per tube ($US) than the Tung-Sols, right?

    As a (extremely happy) 20.7 owner, I've been interested in the 30,7s, but assuming they'd not work well in my room. If however 15' is workable.. hmmm....
