Bill Thalmann
Today I received the sad news that a dear friend and Audio Pioneer, Bill Thalmann, has passed away after a long struggle with an illness. I first met Bill in 1978 when I worked at Audio Associates. He was the top Technician there and was a wizard at repairing esoteric gear such as aligning Marantz 1...

Re: CJ LP260M SE Mono Blocks
Jeff tells me they have released the ART Phono Stage at $28k. Similar regulated power supply as in the ART88. Seen the prototype but have not heard it…
Expensive but looks good.

Re: New CJ ART88 Preamp
The ART is pretty much broken in. It delivers clarity beyond any previous CJ preamp but the presentation is effortless. You never strain to listen and the background noise floor is so greatly reduced.
Love it

Re: 6922 vs 6N30 based preamps
One of my favorite CJ Preamps is the ACT2S2. It used the 6n30’s I never paid attention to the tube type but instead enjoyed this preamp for its tremendous tight deep bass and high extension. In the deep bass it is still the best I have heard. The 6922 based preamps present a different image and mico...

Re: CJ service
CJ is looking into internal email issues. So this may be at the root of the poor response. Jeff sent me an email and I never got it and my customer didn't either.
I have an extensive data background and will try to guide them through on this.

Re: CJ service
Good points. During short supply there are those who will do it.
Jay Truitt has tubes but he doesn’t gouge people. CJ has limited supply of certain tubes and appear to be managing them for just in time delivery.
I am breakingbin gold lions on a gats2 for a good friend. They need 150 hours……

Re: CJ service
I am hearing Russian and Ukraine tubes are in very short supply, particularly KT150, KT88, and 6922.
If you need tubes I don't sell them but can refer you to someone who has a great stockpile.

Re: CJ service
This is a common issue at this time. I am a dealer who lives close to CJ. Please send me you info about the issue and I will text Jeff directly so he can reach out directly to you. I think they have a systems issue when they recently changed their web site. It may be the contact form is not pointing...

Re: CJ service
I have sold CJ products since the early 80’s and always found them to be supportive of me and my customers big time! If they go direct and fire the dealers that will be a fatal business mistake. He doesn’t have the resources to support direct sales unless he hires a full time sales manager/support m...
