Obviously I am very late to this thread, but since I recently have acquired a CAV 45-S2, I’d like to say that paired with Guarneri Homage speakers the CJ is simply wonderful.
Any Conrad Johnson CAV-45 S1 or S2 owners?
I'm considering the CJ CAV-45 S2 for a second system. I'd be pairing it with Devore Fidelity O/93 speakers, which are 10 ohms nominal and don't drop below 8 ohms. My understanding is that the CAV-45 is factory set with only 4 ohm speaker taps.
Is anyone using the CAV-45 with higher impedance (above 8 ohm nominal) speakers?
Also, has anyone had a problem with insufficient gain using their external phono stage? I worry about the lack of a line stage. My phono stage is a Manley Chinook, with 60db and 65b for the MC option.
I'd love to hear about any experiences, the above questions notwithstanding.
Thank you
