Lloydelee,

Part of that "magic" you and I hear with the GH's crosses over (for me) with the ARTs.

The GM's sounded great with the "right" ss amp. I have had "the ooohs" with the GH's using 300b SET's, a 300b pp, a Bedini 45/45, and the Pass XA30.5. They seem to bring out the best in each amp.

Same with the ARTs, they have worked well with any of my amps.
Thanks Onemug...good to know and will keep that in mind if i ever get to hear ARTs.

Rlw3 - what other CD players have you heard besides the Simaudio Supernova? Was interested in how they compare against others. have read good things about it. have you heard the 650D or 750D? thanks for any guidance.
the only other high quality cdp i would recommend is simaudio's first generation 2 box top of the line unit. sorry i dont know name. a friend of mine has this and i am always impressed by it
You may want to go to ConradJohnsonOwners.com. It's a site dedicated solely for CJ onwers and members may be able to offer some insight into their experiences as well. I use more vintage equipment, PV12 and an Evolution 2000 amp, but I love the CJ sound.
