Cost of MF2300 upgrade to MF2300A?

I have an MF2300, love it, wonder what CJ will charge me to upgrade to the "A"

They are closed (Friday) and I'm impatient to find out!

Thanks for any info. If I need to wait til Monday, I'll find out and post the answer here.

Re: Classic SE upgrade w/Teflon caps

Can someone comment on their experience on the burn-in time with the Teflon capacitors? I've just received my preamp back recently, and thought -- Teflon being what it is -- that the capacitors would take at least 200 hours for full burn-in. Called CJ, who said they burned them in 40 hours at the f...

Re: Classic SE upgrade w/Teflon caps

The capacitors will make no difference to the sound and the fuses even less. These are marketing cons. There is no bedding-in for electronic components other than valves and speaker drivers. I would just like to submit my two cents, that the preceding amounts to a load of steaming incorrect informa...

So, if the preamp has output impedance of 1K ohms, the rule of thumb is, you want the input impedance of the power amp to be at least 10K ohms. Most solid state power amps have input impedance hi...

Re: Anyone running CJ pre with non-CJ SS amp?

Odyssey Stratos Extreme monoblocks. I was recommended these by a well-informed gentleman on an audio forum who said "I can't imagine anyone not being happy with these" -- and he was right. God, they just work and exude music. First used with my CJ PV10B, then with a PV14LS2, then a PV12, a...
