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!

tamule1,

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

Thanks tamule1. I have a Vinnie Rossi Lio with 2 tubes in it but the tubes don't soften up voices & guitars. What is it about the Primaluna Prologue that you prefer over the CJ 2550se? Do you just prefer tubes generally over SS? I'm skeptical about getting a tube amp only because SS just gets bass so right for me although tubes do take that sibilant edge off of voice & ringing guitar.

Generally a tuber for the more euphonic kind of distortion. PL's been a better bargain.

Solid state gets both electric guitar and electric bass music "right" and better than a tubed power amp.
