The amp arrived yesterday and it looks absolutely brand new even though it is 8-9 months old. I didn't do much listening yersterday, I let it cook the rest of the day with the Isotek test and equipment burn in cd. I just finished a 3 hour listening session and for once, I didn't fall asleep!!! The sound was very sweet with the combination of the CJ amp, my Rogue RP5 tube preamp, and my GE Triton Reference speakers. It is the best sound I have gotten out of the Triton References so far.
Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect?
I should be receiving a used Conrad Johnson MF2550 250wpc solid state amp on Friday. I have never heard the amp or any CJ equipment for the past 20 years. What scant reviews I have read, it seems to be on the warmer side of neutral. This is not the SE version which is a detailed sounding amp. I am hoping for good synergy with my Rogue RP5 tube preamp and GE Triton Reference speakers. I am presently using an Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp which is around 160wpc. It is a little warm sounding but I am hoping the CJ will be better in my system. If anyone owns one, has heard one or has any opinions, please reply to post. Do you think it is a backwards, sideways or forward move?
