Powercords for CJ CT-5

Thanks for all your posts. I do plan on trying some
powercords soon. I have a pair of Revelation Audio
Precepts on order. I'll let everyone know how
things turn out.

Jtimothya,

I love my CT-5. My previous pre-amp was the Premier 17LS
which I enjoyed. The CT-5 is simply in a different league
though. It has much of the organic goodness of the ACT2.
The ACT2 still has the edge in weight and resolution but at nearly half the price the CT-5 holds its own. This ones a keeper.

Downunder,

How many hours do you have on your CT-5? In my experience
the first 100 hours or the CJ can sound a bit tight
and constricted. According to Lew Johnson it takes at
least 200 hours before things start sounding right. At
the 500 hour mark its fully broken in.

I was going to recommend different IC's but it looks
like you have gone down that road already. For what
its worth I did hear a pair of PA Venustas in my
system for a short listening session. They definetly
added some warmth and midrange bloom. Quite nice.
I only had them in for a short listening session so
I can only give you my short impressions.

Your right about the new CJ gear. Their not quite
as toobey sounding as their previous models but
they have been heading down this direction for a
while now.
