Any Problems with Conrad Johnson Premier 140?

Why don't you e-mail some of the sellers after they have sold their stuff. I've done this as research if I have a similar concern. Folks are a little more forthcoming after they have money in their hands and the gear is gone. For the most part though, people just like to try different things. Nothing wrong with the items but boredom.

Cheers,

Just slightly related;I have a set of the 8XS mono blocks. I read some hype about this 140 being CJs best ever ? I wonder ?

I had the 140 in my system for an extended audition period. I found the amp quite musicial but decided to keep looking. They are big and generate quite a bit of heat.

I too am curious but I suspect it is just what robert8409 mentions. There is alot of heat generated with large tube power amps on top of the maintenence issues with the power tubes.

Yes, I am a died in the wool CJ lover (Hell it was a CJ combo that floored me and ramped up my interest in audio equip in the late 70's) but I am wondering about the 140.

I would think that the 8's remain the "statement" product even though discontinued and that for the money it would be awful hard to top used 12 monoblocks.

I still enjoy my 11a, and if I sell it down the road it will probably be to get cash to get either 8's or 12's.

Doesn't seem to have generated much of a "buzz" or fan base from the usual sources. I sure wouldn't mind throwing one in my system and checking it out.
