if someone can help me......

2leftears,   fedex

havocman, thats what im thinking, but i switched out bacl to my old alons and same thing....

boxcarman,  and yes i redid the wires as well

itsjustme, no....

czbbcl,  i think you and havocman are right...

atmasphere, will try that, have a disk that aides in that..

a quick test might save many hours of fruitless frustration - or expensive swap-outs. The out of phase speakers is worth checking and double checking.

If you changed caps and resistors you need 200 to 400 hours before anything will start to come back to normal. If you put Teflon caps in they need a crazy amount of time. If you keep switching out wires it will also take 12 to 48 hours before things settle in again. I’ve moved speaker wires and it killed everything for 24 hours, everything was lifeless and flat. If you have new caps and moving interconnects and speaker wire it would sound just like you describe. I have a Conrad Johnson CAV 45 S2 and if I swap out wires it takes a while for everything to become big, detailed and enjoyable again. Same thing with any other amp I own. Run music on repeat for as long as it takes. It may be a few weeks. Break in is not fun.

yea, break in takes time, but you don't lose major amounts of bass - its subtle.  This sounds much more substantial. Or drama :-)

itsjustme and paulcreed  did something that i did for my downstairs unit.  this one is in the living room.  i readjusted the wiring some.  its not much room behind the entertainment unit so i cant do much.  i have acoustic zen wires to the power and pre, moved as much of the wiring i could away from them, they are very sensitive to anything laying across them or near them.  i had the same problem when i was using taralabs.  the sound came back some.  now like you said its about break in time and i have no patiences at all, thanks to all ill see what happens.  there is someone with a cj 2550se just put up for sale, i wonder if i could get that......
