Re: CJ Premier 350SA Faceplate Bolt?

The thinner faceplate at that corner is why that single bolt sticks out. I, too, thought it was a flaw when I got mine. I called C-J, and Ed (still there at that time) explained. I suppose you could try to source a shorter version, but I've learned to just ignore it as a design fluke. I think I figu...

Re: AXpona 2023

I believe the reason he paired the prototype Magnepan dipole bass array with ML stats was to demonstrate they could even keep up with the SPEED of electrostatic speakers (ostensibly even faster than Maggies), and blend well even at a higher crossover point. Obviously, from a marketing perspective, i...

Re: Is CJ still in business?

Sadly, I need to raise my hand as well re very poor service. Their canned phone message just refers callers to fill out their online "Service Request Form." Right now, I just want to buy a matched pair of 6N30P tubes for my CT-5, and submitted the form TWICE (a month apart). Never got a re...

Nothing worse than being an audiophile with a few "loose screws." I know a few!

Re: Bad fuse?

Hah! Using a magnifying glass, it appears that one of the fuses had actually blown, but the 2 ends were still making partial contact. I guess that explains it!

Regardless, do any of you routinely replace fuses before they blow?

Bad fuse?

Had an interesting situation yesterday. My left ML Expression speaker suddenly started sounding very static-y and distorted. I was afraid the stat panel power supply or crossover might be going bad. After further troubleshooting, I finally isolated the left channel of my Premier 350 amp as the actua...

Re: New regional audio show in Tampa Feb 2019

I agree... CJ and ML make magic together! I'm not familiar with the Audio Analysis speakers, but they look like the old Apogee Acoustics design. I once owned Apogee Stages, which were incredible. Unfortunately, had to sell them due to space constraints. Re choosing the CLX vs. the Ren 15A or Exp 13A...

Re: The Formidable Renaissance 15

I, too, love the combination of ML stats and CJ! I have ML Expression 13A's (one step down from the Ren 15), with CJ CT5 preamp and Premier 350 amp. I upgraded from legacy Summits, and the new dipole woofer design (with Anthem Room Correction) was a major improvement. I'm pretty sure it's actually a...
