For Sale ACT2 Series 2

I need to part with my ACT 2 because of money issues relating to unemployment. :( I am the original owner and it has been cared for very well. It has just gotten a clean bill of health from CJ a few months back. They said it was is very good shape and would rate it 9 out of 10. I had it on Audiogon ...

Re: What speakers do you like with your Conrad Johnson syste

I have to agree with the Admin on this one. I think electrostatics really show their magic with CJ equipment. I know Magnaplaners have a smaller sweet spot but are good speakers. One of the reasons Martin Logan has a 30 degree "bend" in their panels is to enlarge the sweet spot quite a bit...

FS: NOS 6420P

I have four matched set of 6H30P which were used in my ACT2. They have no more than 1000 hours on them.
These tubes typically last between 5000 and as much as 10,000 hours.

I am asking $300 for all four.

Thanks for looking

Jeff

Tubes are still good. I have the manual, remote and the original box. I have it on Audiogon at the moment b...

Re: McCormack DNA-750 vs CJ MF-2550SE vs Premier 350 ? ....

I talked with CJ earlier this and asked about the 2550. He said yes it a definite reality and will be coming out. I told him I heard it was supposed to be as good or not better than the Premier 350 and he did not hesitate to say no it will not be as good as the Premier 350. He did indicate that it w...

Re: CJ 2 channel and Home Theater all in one

Camusmuse, Thanks for the suggestions but. It is open behind where I sit. The left surround speaker opens to the kitchen and the right surround opens to the hallway leading to the living room so they will just out and not return. :( Actually the effect I do get it like one big set of headphones .

Re: Tube Amp on without speakers connected?

I am going to add something that may or not be popular with this thinking. First of all, I would not run an amp without a load because it was designed to have one when operating unless you are repairing it or taking measurements. I know a of people put CD in constant play to get to the magical numbe...

Re: CJ 2 channel and Home Theater all in one

Thanks Jim Honestly I do not know. I got them at Lowes. LOL Really. They look good and are ok. They are not spiked in to the carpet which I would have liked but they are now. I have most of the equipment on Herbie's isolation feet. I would have liked to have a couple more but I cannot find them any ...

Re: Hello from Costa Rica...and a ET-5 preamplifier.

Hola Roberto,
This is Jeff (jzaret) from the ML Forum. I hope all is well and you are doing well with business and health. I have been out of work for 18 months now so I have not bought a lot of stereo gear. :(. I am surviving at the moment. IT is good to know you are here too.

Take Care

Re: CJ 2 channel and Home Theater all in one

Well both right and left surrounds are close to the wall. It was the only solution I had. I have no back wall because it is open to the kitchen. The left one is the same as the right and also by a sliding glass door. There really has not been an issue. Of course I would have preferred to move them f...

Greatings from Southern California

I have been a CJ owner for approximately 10 years now. It has progress through several preamps and amps. It started with a PV-10, then 17LS, 17LS2 and not Act2 Series 2. Amps were MF2500, LP 70S and and now Premier 350. All have had their unique sound but the signature CJ sound has remained through ...
