Conrad Johnson Officially Transfers ownership


According to Audio Beat August 17 article, Jeff Fischel is now the owner of CJ, Jeff has been w/the company since the late 80's. Good to see they din't sell to outside interests. Hate to have another Thiel car crash. Also some new gear is on the way. A new ET 7  preamp and a high end Headphone preamp are on the way in 2018. If you look at the current CJ website the ET 5 isn't listed as a current preamp but is in the vintage category. Wonder if the ET 5 is gone??

"Thiel ar crash"? The big new Thiel speaker i heard at Axpona this year was worlds better than the old designs. Frankly, the previous 10 years of Thiel had been a diaster, imo.

^While I agree, in that I found some of the older designs preferable, but I couldn't disagree more!
 The post Jim Thiel designs are an anethma to JIm Thiel's legacy.
Not the most stable company. Around mid-July Tom Malestra the CEO was let go. The third CEO since the new Thiel took over. Not very accurate on the dealer list either. They still have Fidelis in NH. They dropped Thiel over 4 years ago. They won't take them off the list. Enough about Thiel any thoughts on the CJ change in ownership?
