Re: Suggestions on a preamp for CJ 2275SE amp?

Guys,

Recently came to live here a Russian who used to work in the Genalex factory. He assured me that the tubes are NOS. The tubes are built not long ago.

Re: Old vs New Sound

Caryking, Just listen the new goods and your ears will tell how great the sound quality it is. Coherence, detail, harmonic texture, size of the musical instruments and voices, wind, percussion, strings, you name it...all them sound better to and for my ears. The S/N is over -100dB, so much detail co...

Re: Old vs New Sound

Noooo, I'm just saying that the new stuff might not be his liking, due to the fact that he is looking or searching for a richness that was on older tube sound. But this richness is not compared with the new quality and precision sound on CJ goods on these days. The harmonic texture was to my ears, o...

Re: Old vs New Sound

Hola Caryking, The sound is a matter of liking. I would say that what I like not necessary must be your liking and viceversa. The quality signature sound of Conrad Johnson sounds right and it is my liking too. Just search for what your ears like. They are the final judges...period! It does not matte...

Re: Premier 11A B+ Voltages

Hola David, Conrad Johnson does not provide those voltages in their schematics info. You could ask at service@conradjohnson.com those values and the reason why you want them. This is to prevent counterfeit of CJ products. Somewhere In the Orient had done this...and of course the product is cheap wit...

Re: Jim Winey, inventor of Magnepan, passed

Mr Winey sold to me my tonearm. The Unitrack. I was attending to the SCES headed in Chicago. In the Magnepan room, I was intrigued that there were a wooden block with two big nails and a tonearm. You could hammer with the tonearm those nails. They were showing how stiff is the carbon fiber and so li...

Re: Anyone experience of Solen FEP Tin/PTFE caps?

Hola,

Definitely I would replace those caps for better ones. It looks that you know what you are doing, so do it!...you might get lucky. Those new caps are expensive, but coupling caps are very important in the signal path.

Happy listening!

Hola, You can measure the value of the resistors top left vs the value of the ones that are odd burned look at the right. The value of those resistors are mirror and same for left channel vs right channel. If you have any value difference, they must be replaced. It looks too that the right channel i...

Re: Premier 16ls Transformer Replacement

I think you are right. It is good to be safer in about 30% more of the needs regarding Amps consumption. The voltages are OK. I how you finally can have back your preamp. If the power transformer can supply more current than the needed in the circuit, you are totally safe.

Happy listening!
