Lee The Soundstage article on the CJ amps is up. It's in the column "The Candy Store" by Bill Brooks.

Yogi I'm no expert but I bet some of the price difference is in the power supply and transfomers. Not to mention the fact a pair of WE300B's will set you back $700 a pair. I saw a 300SEI on ebay for $1700 a few days ago. You might also consider Opera/Consonance amps. Have you also thought...

Yogi If you go SET then get a amp with either 845 or 300B output tubes. The Cary 300SEI with Western Electric 300B's had the nicest midrange i've ever heard and the headphone output was best i've heard.

Lee The Soundstage article about the CJ amps will be in Oct. I talked to the writer this past weekend. The 6550C is supposed to have a nicer midrange compared to the Sovtek and EH 6550, but the the Sovtek and EH have more sparkle on top.

Lee You should try the Svetlana 6550C which CJ uses in the Premier 140 and MV60SE. The 6550C or the GE 6550A would be my choices if my amp used 6550's.

Yogi I replaced the stock Sovteks with EH 6SN7's and I thought they offered better detail. I just bought some Sylvania 6SN7GTB 60'sNOS this weekend and they are even better than the EH's. The highs have more extension and the bass a tad firmer. If you try the Sylvania 6SN7 make sure it's 50's...

Yogi Did you order the 6CA7's yet? I think the only thing going for them is more bass. Changing the 6SN7's and 12AX7's gave me a little more detail without degrading the midrange.

Lee I've heard the Premier 140 and it sounds huge and the bass is deep and with great control. Yogi I know some Premier 11 owners who think the MV60 sounds better than their amp. There will be a article in Soundstage coming up in which one of the writers compares the MV60 the MV60SE...
