Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Yes right! But there are things that the KT120s do very good too. The lower mid range is outstanding, also it has a very good stable and solid stage, with the right sense of 3D, also the bass is robust without being too strong, making this not to be with the bass instrument(s) over sized. Its anothe...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola RJ, I do share your feelings about the 6CA7/EL34 tube. I had them in my previous MV-50, MV-52s...an intoxicating sound came through them using my CLSs. At that time, I use two power amps in bridge mode. I took off the 100K resistor at the input of one channel, and put the channels together, and...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola Ronen...please excuse my dare to being posted my findings with this new Classic One twenty SE power amp. I do know that most of you have and use better amps than this outstanding for me, power amp. For the first time, now I can understand clearly what is the meaning of transparency term. This a...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola...I am too very interested in your findings. I read a lot about the Teflon Capacitors, they exhibit a very stable capacitance all the time, no matter the operating temperature. Also, they need a lot of time to break in...so doing tests without the proper time, in my opinion, might give a wrong ...

Re: Premier 11 Just started buzzing

Hola. It looks that you might have a loose screws securing the power transformer. Be careful because inside are letal voltages. Just disconnect the mains AC from the wall or from the power line conditioner and wait at least five minutes before opening the cover. Then go direct to the power transform...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

I do know what you mean...but also Magnepan is one of the brands that sounds right!. I had long time ago the Timpani model IIIB. There were eight panels as follows: 2 Tweeters, two mid ranges and four bass. The look was as a big folding screen, and you could adjust the panels for the best stage on y...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

hahahaha, I will call you first of course. I think that we had talk before. Did I send to you some bossa nova music that I recorded with friends? This was at the Martinloganowners.com. And you are right with the CLXs. At the Munich Electronic Show in 2008, ML presented the CLXs for the first time to...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola. Just a little note about the bass in the CLXs. Martin Logan has available and free software for the subs models BF-210 and BF-212. This is a firmware designed to work for the right frequency crossover cut for each speaker model. You download it from the site, using the provided flash drive. On...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola Chicos...and thanks for your kind words! I have to admit it, I am a crazy tubed guy! I had tried all combinations, including digital Bel Canto gear, and always ended with tubes. Because I do have a workshop where we service most hi-end brands, I had the opportunity to ¨see¨what´s inside of many...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola Ronen. I had an ARC VT-100MKIII modified. Still have it. I did change the capacitors and all carbon resistors for Vishay metal film. Also use the KT-120s as power tubes. The unit is very clear and nice to my ears. I had this amp for over 10 years, and just listen recently on a friends system th...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Wow! I did not expect such big difference of what I had previously. This new One twenty SE really rocks! Just out of the box, the stage is more precise with much air between the musical instrument(s). Right now, I have over 30 hours of listening and I am really pleased. The harmonic texture of the d...

Re: Two new power amps from CJ for 2017!

Hola. I am getting both new amps this coming week. The Classic 62SE and the Classic one twenty SE too. I am confident that these models do own the C-J signature sound. Lew Johnson told me to get both, and I bought his recommendation. I will keep you posted. Both models are built with the KT-120 outp...

Re: Hiss/white noise ET5

Hola. If the volume control does not change the hiss, the problem is right at the preamp output stage. Contact CJ and tell them about your problem. They will guide you to track the problem. The unit should be dead of noise! Happy listening.

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

You are going to kill me, but I brought it for a special customer. He is a very dedicated audiophile. So, before I gave it to him, I had it in my system for over 15 days. I usually do this, because new things are better to check them right, so you do not have an issue with electronics. Do not get me...

Hello from Costa Rica.

Hola amigos. My name is Roberto Herrera and I had being with CJ since 82 here in Costa Rica. Still remember the preamp PV-5 and the MV-50 power amp. Some of them are still working fine and giving to the listeners a great pleasure. The new products are so neutral, like there is no electronics touchin...

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

Hola. I know that this is a very new forum and I think it is a great idea. I have being with CJ since 82. Also I represent CJ here in Costa Rica. CJ is to my ears, one of the best audio brands on the market. I recently got the new ET-5 preamplifier, and wow!, what a sound stage, a truly 3 D sound!!!...
