Re: LP 70s VI, V2 and V3
Where are you buying your tubes? Are they matched?

Re: Does a MF2550SE have the warmth of any CJ Tube amp?
ROBERTO; NO.... YOU TOOK A WRONG TURN, however I like that you responded. No I am not experiencing anything as I don’t have a MF2250SE yet.... My quest was for the opinion centered around if the 2250SE has that warm feeling of tubes; yes it has the signature CJ sound. I am also picking up a smaller ...

Does a MF2550SE have the warmth of any CJ Tube amp?
The question is: Does the MF2550SE have warmth to it? I know some has been written here. I’ve owned it all, but I’d like to have a SS back up with a little heavy handed appeal for those times when it is wanted. Now, I don’t expect tube warmth, but I don’t want harshness. I have had several love affa...

Re: My Humble Apology to CJ; I just did not know
We are all inquisitive people. It could have been titled; “How Pass Labs led be back to Conrad Johnson, and happier than ever” or “How Tannoy Led me back to CJ”. Either way I was headed to Sasha DAW but took a u-turn to Tannoy so I’d be happy to hear about any other experiences. Love my CJ gear; lov...

My Humble Apology to CJ; I just did not know
I’ve always been a fan of CJ; had plenty of amps and pre’s, cherry picked the best of the best Premier 350, 12’s, 140, MF2500A, 2550, CA-200, 150, and the first two I have had 3-5 pairs of them at times, not to mention pre’s in the form of ET5, PV-12, Pre 17LS, LS2, Pre 16, 16LS2 and the last two ha...

Re: ET250S or MF2550?
As for the ET, I too have read the same things and have shied away from it, although I have to say it has always ticked my box on looks. I have owned a 2500A SS amp and Premier 350, and for some time ran a friends 2550 as well on my Tannoy Kensington GR’s. Opinion here from me is your pre will love ...

PREMIER 350SE VS MF2550SE OR ?????
There is no doubt that if you have owned the Premier 350se, you know it will upon power up, turn your head and jerk you into that moment of “what am I hearing, its fantastic” thinking. It can at times be too much, perhaps too bright a star. Is there a CJ Solid State pre such as the MF2550SE (teflon ...

Re: MF2300A
In what market? USA? I just sold one for under $1200; almost hated to see it go at that price. You might as well keep it; it’d be hard to replace at this point. Use hifishark.com to see past history of sales from eBay, Audiogon, and other sites

Re: CJ PREMIER 140/ Teflon capacitors UPGRADE?
THe points have been made from make sure to the fact that everything is doubled by the fact that 2x if both need service. However, having had Premier 140’s and then upgrading. You’ll soon forget the 140 brute and enjoy the wonderful nature of the LP’s. I’m a risk taker, so I say yes and I’ve had man...

Re: Premier 11A vs. 125sa amp sound
They are all fine. In degrees they are refined and in total they all sound like CJ; would you not agree? I’d have to say though, that anyone who finds a Premier 11a for sale, should snap it up. You will not want for more musical entertainment, soundstage, or pleasure just listening. I still love min...

Re: MF2550 - not just an ordinary amplifier
Big Dog RJ: I have spent months with both Prem 350 and 2500A amps. I always loved the Prem 350 but have to nod my head to MF2500a. I had one rebuilt, a 2500a, by CJ a few years ago and it was STUNNING. I have had ART SA, Prem 350, Classic 120, Pre 12’s, Prem 11a, FWatt SIT 3, F4’s, Pass XA25. The Pr...

Re: What speakers are you using with your Conrad Johnson gear?
I’ve since sold my Wilson Sophia II’s and purchased TANNOY KENSINGTON GR’s running on my Premier 12 mono’s and GAT. Such a great combo. Nice one Jahat, well done on the Tannoys. Another great combination with CJ, no doubt. I clearly remember, this is going back to around 99/2000, my company chairma...

Re: Premier 14 and Premier 12 upgrades
Hello, I'm confused on your statement "there is no upgrade". There is an upgrade if you ask. I'm guessing I am taking your statement incorrectly. Upgrades can be good but know that you most likely will not get your $$ back on them if you want to sell. I have extensive experience with the C...
