Re: WTB Conrad-Johnson TEA-1 (series 1)

Think of it this way—the original TEA-1 is two full generations removed from the current TEA-1v3, in addition to being at least 15 years old. Ordinarily, the resale price of used gear is 50% of its original MSRP. However, with 15 year old pieces, their selling price can easily be less than 50% of th...

If a TEA1 is actually being offered for hat price, it’s either broken or hot.
A TEA1 series 1 is super old and I would not be surprised to see one for $2700.

WTB: Conrad-Johnson TR-1 or HV-2 MC step up components

I am looking for a Conrad-Johnson TR-1 MC step up transformer or HV-2 MC step up nuvistor preamp. Conrad-Johnson calls both of them “pre-preamps” which I guess is what they are. I have seen both of these on the market within the last two years so I know I am not crazy looking for gear from circa 198...

Re: WTB Conrad-Johnson TEA-1 (series 1)

Bumping this thread. Anybody have a TEA—1 series 1 they would be willing to part with? Any of the TEA-1 models (i.e. the “full” TEA-1, TEA-1b, etc.) would be fine. Thanks!

I am actually going to use it coupled with an airport express for Apple Music. I’m using an HD3 for hires files and a UDP-1 for CD/SACD/DVD-A.

CJ AVP-1

I saw an article from 2004 about a CJ prototype, the AVP-1, a universal disc player which was revealed at the same time as the MAP1 and MAP150.

Does anybody have any more info about it and why it was shelved?

Re: WTB Conrad-Johnson D/A-2b

I recently decided to upgrade my DAC and looked at the HD-3. The only reason I decided not to go with it was the lack of support for higher sampled music. I really wish CJ would branch out into other equipment but they really seem to be refocusing on preamps/amps. There headphone amp is the only &q...

Thanks for the advice! Yes, I will need one with an optical input for the application I am envisioning. I have a HD-3 for USB DAC duties.

Re: McCormack UDP-1 C-J Edition

I have owned the UDP-1 Deluxe CJ Edition for 16 years. I have updated it with CJ Teflon caps in the 2-channel signal and power supply. I still compare this other very expensive Universal Disc players and marvel that it still sounds better. The Teflon Upgrade is about $1400 and worth it. I suggest y...
