..just for the halibut.....try PURIST cables. Borrow a pair, but although these cables to me in MY system are not true to life, they bring out that "midrange magic" you're missing.
CJ custs – please help me get rid of my headache
Currently I have the following setup:
CJ Premier 16LS preamp
CJ EF1 phono preamp
CJ MV60SE power amp
CJ DV2B CD player
Tannoy Turnberry speakers
Sota Star TT
Stealth PGS gold I/C’s
My headache is coming from trying to ascertain which CJ power amp would be best for my system. Having had a CJ MV45 years back, I enjoyed that midrange magic of the EL34’s and am missing it. However, I realize there is a tradeoff in sacrificing the EL 34’s in favor of the 6550’s to firm up and extend the overall sound presentation.
So, I thought I’d try the MV60SE because I don’t listen to very loud levels and I like how it cosmetically matches up with the Premier 16LS. This sound is pretty good, but I find myself all too often going to Audigon to explore other possibilities (Premier 11, Premier 12 monos, Premier 140, etc.). I do want to stay with period correct matching…any suggestions for a replacement CJ power amp? Thanks.
