Yes, I restored several 2270s over the years, the speaker relay often needed cleaning or replacing on many 2270s.

Well said Joe! I've stayed with GAT2 and the ART300s and I see no way of any major improvements without spending piles of $$$.

Re: DH Labs Revelation interconnects
I've been using DH Labs Pro Studio Analog Interconnect cable for years now. @ $11 a foot, put whatever connectors ya like on it and you've got a great cable at a reasonable cost.

Re: Accuphase A-70 enough to drive Magnepan 20.7 or 30.7?
That's such a sweet amp..would probably sound amazing on 20.7s, but, I'd bet that on those occasions where ya want to play hard (loud) you'd be wanting more power.

Re: How long does it take to adequately warm up the tubes (power and preamp) of a tube amp designed for home audio?
I really don't notice any major changes during warm up of the CJ gear... a slight change during the first half hour or so, but, it's sweet from the start!

Re: Kr kt150
For me personally, at 4X the price of Tung-Sols, they'd need to somehow sound pretty darned good. No problem with size on "cageless" CJ ART300s. Or maybe if their life expectancy was improved.

Re: Kr kt150
I don't know if I'm guesstimating incorrectly, but these new Tubes would come in around 4X the cost per tube ($US) than the Tung-Sols, right?
