Re: Thinking about converting my ARTsa to triode mode ....
Joe, FWIW, I received the following comment from CJ in April 2013 when inquiring about converting my 11A to triode: EL34 vs. 6550 is a choice that has advocates on both sides. Personally, I was quite enamored of the sound of the EL34s operating in triode mode. A richer, smoother sound than was avail...

Re: FS: c-j Premier 11A
Thanks Joe. I fixed the typo. Funny how the mind uses the Gestalt principle. I read it over twice while looking for that errant "about" and didn't see it until the third read!

SOLD: c-j Premier 11A
Sad to see it go. I didn't think I would sell this anytime soon. But I found my way into single ended, low power amps and single driver speakers and it doesn't look like I'm coming out. Here's the ad text I will be using on ebay and audiogon: Conrad-Johnson Premier 11A Amplifier - $1975 Excellent wo...

Re: Re-tubing Premier 17LS2
I had the 17LS and settled on gold lions. Never tried exotic NOS, but the gold lions were clearly superior to the EH gold pins I also had.vidal23 wrote:I recently bought a CJ Premier 17LS2 with electro-harmonix 6922 EH tubes. Could you tell me the best tubes for this preamp? Thanks

Re: DF-1
Very cool unit. Unfortunately, you are correct there is not much info on this unit that I can find. I find it interesting that they would put a CD player and a preamp together in one unit. I'm sure this combination will not be seen again from CJ. Let us know what you think of the sound. Here is the...

Re: Old CJ hand
Hi, everyone. Although I have limited time to participate in forums, I will check in from time to time to see if I can be of any assistance. I was CJ's technical director for the first 20 yrs of their existence and still make my living repairing, restoring and upgrading high end audio electronics, ...

Re: Looking for a new tube amp
Hi Don, I think you'll get much more input out here than private. Plus now you have one post! :D Welcome to the forum! I've not listened to the MV60. The Pr11 came out in the mid 1990's. The MV60 was the model that logically replaced it, I think in the early 2000's. It is 60wpc vs. 70wpc in the 11, ...

My guess is 1960's Scandinavian teak that was very popular in the day. No money on it though!arnel wrote:That's a gorgeous console. Where did you get it?

Re: S.E.T. Vs CJ Amp
Wow! Impressive! Thus far, I've preferred the sound from my 10wpc single ended tetrode more than anything I've had prior. This is with 87db sensitive AR2ax speakers even. I have on order a pair of 95db Omega Super 7 XRS - single driver speakers. Look Ma, no push pull, no negative feedback, no crosso...

Congratulations, Peter. Glad you were able to sell the amps and I'm sure that the buyer is going to be one happy puppy. :) Thanks Joe. The buyer does sound like he will give them a good home.

Re: where do i get a manual for a ls17
Shoot! I had a 17LS and didn't think to scan the manual before selling it. However, the instructions for HTB connections are the same for their preamps so equipped. The following is from the CA200 manual in the library here: EPL2/THEATER: This is an external processor loop designed to conveniently a...

Re: Hello from Germany
Yes, swapping the the two 5751 first helped me to get down to the fact that one of them is defective or more worn than the other. But today I received a new set of tubes: two NOS GE 5751 (mathed and balanced), two also matched and balanced NOS GE 6CG7 and a matched quad of Tung-Sol 6550. I first ch...
