CJ MF2550 Replacing the power amp fuss
Not sure yet how the fuses blew. The MF2550 was connected to a CJ ACT2. All was OK until I switched the source of the ACT2 (went from AUX to CD) and I heard a loud pop and the AMP stopped working. By that I mean the output volume was very low. Eve...

Thanks. The system "looks" beautiful but I do agree that no support is a real issue. Clearaudio on the other hand has been extremely helpful. Anyway I believe I will be able to listen to both systems next week and will share my experience. 
Right Channel louder than the left

Right Channel louder than the left
I just switched the wires on the cartridge and the levels are OK. I switched them back and it looks like problem has gone away or is barely perceptible. Maybe a faulty connection that got resolved?thanks for the help 
Right Channel louder than the left
I actually just switched the input source to CD and the levels even out. I dont think its the preamp.
