I've been critical of CJ support recently, so I must also point out how wonderful and helpful Melissa from CJ has been!
She even listened patiently to my ranting!!
My faith is restored. Thanks Melissa!!
Have I mentioned lately how much I
like these ART's? 'guess I have.

Re: The music has returned....
BTW, if I forgot to say GREAT SYSTEM at one point, I am saying it now. GREAT SYSTEM! Just one of those combinations I look at and intuitively know I'd love to hear it and know I'd love it when I did. I have heard various 'relatives' of all of your main components...Maggies, CJ, Meitner digital and own the GAT. So...Enjoy!

Re: The music has returned....
The ARTs have been running since Friday... Nearly 24x7. Considering the temps in NJ this morning the glowing tubes are welcome. Almost like I'm making up for lost time..
Listening to latest Sarah Jarosz recording at the moment. Beautiful music IMHO.

Re: The music has returned....
I'm glad they're working just fine Ray. It sure is nice having CJ so close. Imagine having to wait while they get shipped overseas, get fixed, and get shipped back. I'm sure it's nice and toasty in your place these days!

Re: The music has returned....
Hi Ray,
Any CJ updates?
I put the CJ gear on my 30.1's last night. I finally had to turn them off at 5:15 am to get any sleep. Dammit. I'm wiped out.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

I'll definitely give you my thoughts about it when it arrives. To say I'll do a review would be an injustice to those here that review gear. Originally Posted by Petro85
