What is the Best Amp to match with CJ ART??

Hi Frank, I was referring to the C-J 8 and and 12 amps in my comments about "relaxed beauty of sound" (and by that I don't mean that traditional "tubey" sound - just the antithesis of the hard analytical sound some tube manufacturers have strived for, but never C-J). The ART is, as you say, a different animal than earlier C-J preamp designs.

Hope you are well, my friend.

Ditto the congratulations! The CJ amps would be a nice match, but also consider the Atma-Sphere MA-1 OTLs or CAT JL-2. For relaxed beauty of sound, the CJ's are hard to beat. The A-S will give a more articulate, quick and neutral sound with higher resolving capability, while maintaining the tonal beauty and rendering complex harmonic overtones supremely well.
