Re: Art amps and ET7s2 auctions

No doubt about that. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed with my GAT, ART monos and Revel Studio2 speakers. Such a wonderful combo.

Re: Art amps and ET7s2 auctions

I had the ART monos and used them with the Revel Studio2. Unbelievably awesome combo. I would takes these over the new ART300's. Go for it!

Re: Sell my GAT2 to buy Kondo Overture?

Thank you for your opinions. I totally agree that resale is awful. Yes, if I sell the GAT2, there’s no chance I’ll even consider the ART27A. Also, investing in more CJ at this point, doesn’t seem even worth it to me, I’m sorry to say. I think the gear is over priced as it is now. I’ve been a die har...

Sell my GAT2 to buy Kondo Overture?

I’m thinking about “upgrading” to a Kondo integrated. A couple of friends have one and it’s wonderful. I’ve been trying to simplify my system lately. I recently purchased a Luxman 590-AXII integrated and think it’s amazing. So my thought is one solid state integrated, Luxman, and one tube integrated...

Re: Speakers for CAV 45 S2

Congratulations on the CAV 45 S2.

I’ve been thinking about that amp for a long time especially because it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I love the EL34 tubes/sound.

Please keep us updated on your speaker choice.

Re: NEW Conrad Johnson ART27A Triode Tube Amp

I’m sure Jeff and his team listened to several/many transformers in the actual circuit to determine what kind of sound they wanted. I’d have to believe that after figuring out from specs what was needed, listening tests began in ernest tailoring the sound. They’ve been at this for a long time. There...

Re: Original GAT vs new ET7?

Totally agree. This is an old post but I finally was able to get the GAT2. Needless to say I’m very happy with that decision.

Now I’m a little torn with what CJ tube amp to pair with it. I have a few different speakers and it depends on what I value most.

Re: Martin Logan CLX's in Cherry Red

OMG!

They look outstanding. I used to own Apogee Duetta II. I listened to the original Diva at my previous dealer many, many times drooling.

Very lucky owners, congratulations!
