Re: Which used CJ amp to buy?


My ears are tainted by liking, and being driven toward 2 different types of "sounds". On one hand, I love tubes, and all the warmth that goes with female vocals, and violins, and trumpets, piano, saxophone, etc. But have also been impressed at how good jazz sounds at a friend's house with his ...

Today I bought the floor. It is a porcelain tile, a Spain's made and looks like wood. Also I got all the AC gadgets like 6 Alexas for control the house. It is an inexpensive way to have control of the electronic things, lights and more. The under roof, there are special sheets are ...

Hola Joe,
Yes, one of the workers has a drone. I liked a lot this shot. I have another video from the back of the house and it is very nice too.

Re: Bobby's house...

Hola Paul,
Thanks you for your recovery and speedy wishes. I have a MacBook laptop. And it is not too old. The software version is 13.7.5 Ventura. But my computer stills are limited. I don't know what I did wrong, but I can't place a pic or small video.

Re: Which used CJ amp to buy?

Hola Paquini,
Trust your ears, let them decide what you do like or not. Those are the final judges. Mark Levinson is great stuff, but no matter what, it is a SS sound. Of course it has its signature sound quality. Now that I said this, my ears are very, but very forward to the tube sound quality ...

Re: Which used CJ amp to buy?

Hola Paquini,
I'm a happy owner of the Classic One Twenty SE. And I'm with Admin regarding the KT-120s made by Tung Sol. This KT-120 is made to replace the 6550s and all the ancillary different models. This KT-120 offers to my ears a much better bass control, it is more powerful than the EL-34/6CA7 ...

Chicos,
Tomorrow I'm going to see how the construction of the house is doing. I do believe that this coming week is the installation of the roof. I can't wait and take some pics.

Happy listening!

Re: Roberto's System

Hola PaulCJ,

Thanks, I just love music. And the truth is, Conrad Johnson sounds right!. I'm playing now in my system a Delphi Oracle turntable with a PU-3 Syrinx tonearm. The cartridge is a Denon DL103R MC. I think it is a very good analogue sound. I am thinking to get a Hana Umamu cartridge, but ...

Re: PV7 - MM or MC phono cartridge compatbility

Hola MLAS,
I am a very happy user of the Denon DL103R cartridge. Some PV preamps, their phono sections has a lot of input sensitive allowing to drive the MC cartridges. Just try it, you won't harm anything.

Hola Chicos,
Bad herb does not die! This is a Costa Rican saying. So I'm back. I am feeling marvelous. The Dr. found one big tumor and the other was
smaller than a ping pong ball. Yesterday I left the Hospital with my Foley catheter removed. The surgery went fine and now I have to wait the biopsy ...

Re: PV10 hiss - tracking down issue vs normal

Hola Benjackson,
AJ is right. Hissing is usually a small signal tube. Are both channels with that odd hiss? Is the hiss only with phono or there is hiss with aux or any other inputs? If the noise is only present when the phono is acting, then one of the 12AX7 is the culprit. If you have hiss with ...

I must confess to you that I will have a surgery this coming Monday. I was diagnosed with cancer in my bladder. Oh well, all my blood exams and overall health looks fine so you are going to have Bobby for more time for sure. I also know that The Big Mighty is taking care of me too ...
