For all CJ fans (which are happily plentiful), wanted to share my installation of the Zellaton Reference loudspeakers with a full Schnerzinger wiring loom at the CJ listening room in Virginia. Pictured is an Art 27a being tested at the facility.

Congratulations! I’m sure it sounds great and that visitors will be in for a real treat.

I have a couple of questions.

1. At one time you carried CJ as a line. I have not seen it listed on your website for some time. Is this an oversight?

2. The Schnerzinger loom … what is the cost to go this route with 8’ speaker cables, two pair of 2m interconnects (rca since CJ is single ended), and three 15 amp 2m power cords?

Too busy enjoying those very fine tunes! And building that awesome gear with those outstanding Zellaton's as their primary reference speakers.

Now that deserves a mighty WOOF!

*Side note: that room looks a bit dinghy though. I was expecting some plush furniture with exotic carpeting and the Mona Lisa on the wall. After all, CJ's top of the line is referred to as ART*
