Greetings all, and may 2023 be a fine year full of good health and sweet music.
I'm happily using a CJ CAV 45 S-2 paired with Guarneri Homage. I have absolutely no complaints about this latest CJ control amp. I enjoy it so much that I got to thinking about going to CJ tube separates, those which I could afford, and as long as they were not too old or vintage. Say either very late 20th century or early 21st. So, I contacted CJ and Mr. Fischel wrote back:
"Hello Paul,
Preamps to consider would be PREM16 , PREM17 , ET7S2. The ET7S2 is actually a current model , Power amps , LP70 , LP140M , CLASSIC120. The CLASSIC120 is also a current model.
Best regards,
Jeff Fischel"
I am not interested in going back to vintage tube gear. I had that for decades and finally gave up. Patience wore thin as well as my wallet what with the upgrades and repairs, and costly shipping expenses. Been there, done that.
*What I am looking for is the newest CJ gear that will give me at least some of the storied CJ Golden Glow.*
Thanks for any insights.
Best,
Paul
