Re: CT5 vs premier 16 LS2 vs premier 17 LS2

Hola Chicos, The quality sound on both preamps are great and easy to tell if you do a comparison with other brands having similar retail price, and I will add, being CJ less expensive than the others. The newer model, the ET'5 to my ears is more pure, more kind of organic sound, more precise. You ar...

Re: Two Possibilities

Hola Chicos,

Great recommendation Joe. The second track has a mandolin with a bass clarinet and a Fender bass, with some percussion. This is a great recording. I got it in 192KHz sampling rate.

Re: Tube dampers

With much respect, Parlatec was the representative of ARC since late 80s to 2015. I worked with Mr James Saxon selling and also servicing ARC.
These silicone transparent o-rings came inside the factory sealed carton box in a white little box. These o/ rings were supplied by ARC, believed or not.

Re: Tube dampers

Abuse? I don't think so. These O-rings came with the ARC new goods inside their carton box. They were supposed to last forever, but the material with the years of used, did change due to the temperature of the original tubes and they did melt with the age. Many ARC users in other countries, includin...

Re: PCC88s vs 6922s

It is not a direct replacement for the PCC88/6922. Read this: T he 5670 pinout is radically different. Electrically and in terms of internal design it is very similar to the 6DJ8/6922 which became very popular in American high end audio gear, but one can't plug it into a 6922 socket. There are 6922 ...

Re: New version of RC-20 available

Chicos, I was thinking that I could installed the old batteries back to the RC-20 instead the fresh ones. Why I did such a silly thing? The answer is easy. I had two beautiful dogs that I had to put them to sleep. They were with us over 14 years! The first one to go was Venus, a German Shepherd, on ...

Re: New version of RC-20 available

But this is not the case. The remote was laying on my bobby's room table doing nothing and also without batteries. Then I decided to do the video, so I took the RC-10 batteries off and put them on the RC-20 for the video. Once I did the video, I pointed the remote to the ET-7V2 and it turned the pre...

I have a gremlin around here somewhere. The remote is working nicely now. I did not do anything. It just lied there for 5 days without batteries, and I just installed the batteries back for the video, and tried it, and now it is working as it should. Very strange things are happening. I started to b...

Mine is not working. It is sending signal, checked with my cell camera. I can see the led on while pressing any push button, and see it blinking, but it is not working. A dear friend has two remote controls lend me one plastic (RC-10) and works the same as the RC-20. Mine stopped working from one da...

MLAS, If you find the way to suppress that odd noises coming from the volume relays, please tell us. Even Mr. Jeff says that those noises are a normal behavior of the preamp volume control. All these days CJ preamps uses these volume type control. Here is a replay to me from Mr Jeff Fischel... The a...

Re: Evolution 20 questions

Hola, If your speakers are very sensitive, it is normal when you go up or down with the knob. CJ uses a very careful way to bring the level up or down. It is a precision +- 0.7dB. So you can adjust precisely the level that you want to listen. Yes, I know, it is annoying...and there is no way to take...

Re: Is the ET5 built better than the ET7 ?

"When I compare the insides of the ET7 to the ET5 I am a bit surprised. ET7 has a lot less big white capacitors and has more electrolytic capacitors than the ET5. Also the tube is now on the main board rather than on a vibration isolated daughter board. Just looking at estimated cost of parts, ...

Hola Peter and welcome. I salute you from Costa Rica, Central America. Those are very good power amps, and the first thing that what I would do, is to change all tubes for fresh ones. Tubes are uncertain, and they could have a good measurements with a tube tester, and they could be bad. I don't know...

Re: Holo May Kte back to normal operation

There is no comparison...I just went to his house to listen his Holo May Kte, the same DAC that I have, and his speakers are Spatial Audio Labs, model M3 Sapphire. A lot of bass comes out from these speakers. I tried to find a way of how take some bass energy off from them, and I did move them aroun...
