if someone can help me......


just got my cj 2500a back from conrad johnson,  i have an et3 se to mate with it.  new tyler accoustic speakers.  not getting the sound that i was hoping for.  was waiting to get a 2550se but are hard to find now to pair it with.  am i doing something wrong here.  i read where if the amps arent paired right you tend to get a vailed type sound and thats what im getting.  no umph at all and i have to turn it up real loud to get that.  (bass is almost nonexistent, maybe there is to much to break in) tried tube rolling, new wires, different speakers, speaker placement sound is still the same.  i know there is so many smart people on this site and i have learned a lot reading your thoughts on almost everything. so if i can get some help solving this i would really appreciate it i know its something simple, i sold my pv 12, but if i need to go back to an older model preamp let me know and what is the best one, thanks..........

czbbc;. changed out all the caps and resist output, etc.  sounds very smooth now.....

itsjustme and paulcreed  did something that i did for my downstairs unit.  this one is in the living room.  i readjusted the wiring some.  its not much room behind the entertainment unit so i cant do much.  i have acoustic zen wires to the power and pre, moved as much of the wiring i could away from them, they are very sensitive to anything laying across them or near them.  i had the same problem when i was using taralabs.  the sound came back some.  now like you said its about break in time and i have no patiences at all, thanks to all ill see what happens.  there is someone with a cj 2550se just put up for sale, i wonder if i could get that......

oddiofly, tried siemens, amprex, and a japan tube cant remember which, finally went back to the eh6922 that came with it......

had my alon II at 1st but they had no bass, went with the tylers and the same thing.
