Greetings CJ Colleagues - I want to report on the repair of my Premier 11A. I went a 3rd route as the 11A was my only amp and I wanted it within a reasonable time (1 month or so). Also, I considered sending it to CJ but I was really worried about shipping it and the cost from California (at least $1...

Thank you Another Johnson and Wildcat. That is really helpful information. I really want Bill's shop to do it. I think I have to problems solve how to live without it until then. I will keep you posted!

I now seem to be having the same problem as Wildcat with my Premier 11. I contacted Bill Thallman’s shop and they have a 6-9 month wait time to even take my amp in. I would, of course, prefer he did the work (and upgrade to 11A/with IEC). It's my only amp so without it, my HiFi is dead in the water ...

Just thought I should provide shots of the ET6 in it's new home. I had to get a new rack because it was too wide for the old one on the left. So now there's a CJ amplification rack all to itself! I never thought I could make that happen. Notice its on the hearth of my fireplace...on tile, on cement,...

Thanks AJ.

Thank you all. LOL AJ: "Unsprung"! Yeah, my Rega is a real unsprung hero! OK Big Dog RJ! We have to talk!! Your system looks like mine!!! I have the same TTPS on my RP6 of course! But you have the TEA 2!! I wish I could hav afforded both the phono stage and preamp as separates but I think ...

Thanks for the Lyra tip AJ. Can you say wheat it is that you like about Lyra? I'm not sure what to do about a cart. I was thinking Kiseke Purple Heart until I blew my wad on the ET6. The Hana ML is supposed to punch above its weight. And I can get a deal on it. It's got an outrageous frequency respo...

OK Several hours later: There is more detail, more separation of instruments and more space between them. The highs are more present and clearer, sound less distorted. Not as much of the veil. That was clear with my cds right away. They have never been so detailed and clear, yet still a smoothness t...

It's here, all connected and working! It's a beautiful piece. I had to eat dinner so I'm letting it warm up even more. I don't have a low output MC cartridge yet so I'm using the phono section from the PV10 (going from the tape out to the ET6). My DAC (CD and Streaming) is directly connected, so I c...

I feel the same way about CJ of course. I'm not sure why it is not as talked about as it was in the 90's. I have not tried Linn. Now yo have me curious. While my Rega is upgraded to be a mostly different experience, I see people move beyond Rega. Thank you for saying that about the "advancement...

LOL! You know exactly what I'm going through AJ! I'm like an expectant father! If I didn't have to work today, I'd be pacing the floor! I've already downloaded the owners manual and from the cj web site AND READ IT. Its here at the facility in L.A.. I'm tracking it.

I have my old equipment too. I just can't let it go. My sweet old KEF 104.2s that I replaced in September with the Klipschs (I wanted a different experience! And I got it! LOL!). Vintage equipment is real popular now because so much of it, like the CJ stuff is still brilliant. I plan on keeping my P...

OMG AJ! That Dynavector is a cool looking tonearm! Thanks for the link. I haven't seen anyone talk about them on Youtube either! People do show, talk about, fix old gear on youtube...even CJ is on there. I am having a ball by the way. My system was stagnant for a long time. I always thought "On...

I have to put my system in the signature they way you did. Good idea! I have been looking for more revealing, so I've got my fingers crossed. As for my TT set-up, I just upgraded my Rega RP6. A guy on another forum called them "Franken-Regas! - LOL! Yup. I guess...but Rega adopted those upgrade...

Thank you! I can't believe it to tell you the truth. The whole idea of needing a high gain phono stage is new, even though I knew the PV10 probably needed a replacement. I just don't see equipment that have the same appeal as CJ. So here I am...and grateful! I'll keep you posted.

Greetings fellow CJ lovers - I have had my PV10 with low gain phono stage since new in 1993. I have been upgrading my system and it became clear that my old reliable, beloved, is now the weakest link in the system. It's earned the right. I've sat in front of it for 30 year as it's played the music o...

Just an update. Curiously the buzzing stopped the next day. That hasn't come back, yet, after a couple of weeks. Oddly, an output fuse blew yesterday. I replaced it and it sounds fine. The output tubes don't "appear" to be doing anything that would indicate a problem tube. Two of the outpu...

Thanks. Will do. I'm an amateur but I'd like to know how to trouble shoot this thing. I've figured out other things that were going on with it, so hey!

Hi - I am new to this forum. Glad I found it! My Preamp and Amp are both CJ. The AMp I have is a Premier 11. I listened to it fine this morning. Now this afternoon, when I turned it on, it is buzzing/humming...NOT from the speakers but from the amp itself. It's rather loud (vs a softer hum/buzz) Any...
