Owners of a Conrad-Johnson MF-2550se Power Amp - Please post your thoughts

I just purchased a CJ MF-2550se and am burning it in at the moment. About 80 hours on it. I would like to hear from owners of this amp about how they feel about it and what other components & speakers it is connected to incl. power cords, etc. Thank You!

Sold mine as is after it died . Happier with sound of my PL Prologue Premium integrated.  I had the ET3-se with that amp . The high gain and short tube life was a PITA.  A good pre-amp with that amp could get fine sound for you SS guys .

From everything that I've read, it's supposed to be a great all-around amp, if not the boldest. Everyone agrees that there is a painfully long break0in time because of the Teflon capacitors. I would be happy to have one, because I remember its solid state cj predecessors, and those amps sounded beautiful. This should certainly be an improvement, which would make it a great amp.

tamule1,

Was your CJ the original 2550 or 2550se? How many years did you own it before it died? What went bad? Thanks!
