I've had my CJ ET3 SE for about a week. All I can say is WOW!! Prior to this I had an Audio Research SP-16 which was very good but sonically the CJ is a big step up. Great soundstage and the vocals are the best I ever heard on my system. Also for late night listening even w/the volume low all the detail is there. The CJ is hooked up to a Bryston 2.5 SST2 amp. I'm using a Cambridge Audio BD 752 player for CD's and SACD's. For my 33's I have a Linn LP12 w/an Ittok arm and a Dynavector 20xl2 cart. My phono is a locally made Shaker Logic unit. I demoed it against the Parasound JC3+ and it won hands down. For speakers I have a pair of Aerial 6B's. Having a great time rediscovering my music. Just one thing I wish the ET3 SE had a mono button. I really liked that feature on my SP-16.

Hello fellow New Hampshire resident! It's great to have you with us. I wish NH had more of an audiophile scene. There are no audiophile clubs around (the closet being the Boston Audio Society). I visited Fidelis AV when they were closer in Salem but haven't had the chance to go up to Manchester since they moved. I know they do some events and presentations on occasion. Sounds like you have quite the setup, congrats and welcome to the CJ club.

Fidelis moved to Nashua NH. They have some interesting gear including a full line of Acoustic Signature Turntables. Definitely worth a listen if your looking for a top of the line TT.

Just noticed that I wrote Manchester instead of Nashua by mistake. I plan to stop by the next time I am in Nashua but unfortunately that is not very often.
