Re: Do I buy a LP66S?

Hi kiwilp. What did you end up going for in your quest for a power amplifier? I have an LP66s which I really like (paired with a ET3se). But lately I've been wondering about good solid state amps as some of my audio mates have experienced their power tubes blowing. One lucky that it was just the tub...

Re: LP66s (4ohms) + Bw 805D (8ohms)?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll have to take a look at those tubes. I think the KT120 is a bit too tall for me to use the cage. Which I need to due to having young kids. The Mullard looks interesting.

Re: LP66s (4ohms) + Bw 805D (8ohms)?

This week I acquired a LP66s (ET3SE pre in front) to pair with my 805S speakers and it's wonderful. It replaced a Quad 909 which I though was pretty good already, but the LP66s is just another level.

Re: What brought you to own Conrad Johnson gear ? ...

I had never really heard of CJ until a audio buddy lent me his ET3SE to try. My goodness, it was a revelation. Soundstage, and immersion into the music. Yesterday I've also acquired a CJ LP66s to complete the experience. To me, it's CJ or bust now. I've tried other combos in my system, Herron, Manle...
