Comparison of ARC Ref3 and C-J CT5

I did it again substituted Art for Act twice should read ;
(1) "I switched over to the CT5 (from the Act 2)."
(2) "The CJ Act 2 is, here I'll quote Jaybo's 2006.."

Sorry for the mess ups. I guess I have a hidden desire for the Art 2 and it's 6922's.

I've had both and liked the CJ better. I think the Ref 3 over does it. The Ref 5 fixes a lot of those issues as did the LS26.

The new CJ amps and preamps are very very good. The teflon used inside are second to none.

If you can find a cj ART on audiogon - definately go for it.
A big step up the musical enjoyment ladder from CT5 or both ACT2's.

I have just upgraded from Art 1 to Art 3 and could not be happier

Thanks, guys. I have a long-term love relationship with my Wyetech Opal, and some recent tube-rolling has "renewed our vows." But like all long-term relationships, the eye wanders and . . . So I may try out either the CT5 or ART/ACT and see if the love remains.

Neal,

What 6sn7s are you using? I would like to hear your thoughts on the CJ comparison. The Opal seems to offer me the best of both worlds... very detailed yet big and musical and vi-vi-vivid. I'm using the EH 6sn7s and I much prefer them over NOS Sylvania's and Roger'm mil specs. I find they have a better bottom and faster transiants.

What tubes are you using?
