ARC always=more accurate/resolving CJ=more coloration/warmth Absolutely a matter of taste. The public expressed their tastes/opinions and the newer CJ gear moved toward resolution/less coloration Strickly speaking tubed here. No experience/observations regarding SS, in either case.

Back in the 80's and 90's Audio Research and Conrad Johnson
We're very competitive with each other. It seems like the main dealers at that time had one or the other. Nowadays you rarely ever see Conrad Johnson at a Brick and Mortar. ARC on the other hand is more popular than ever. Do you think this was mostly to do with marketing or Did ARC just come out with much better products than CJ?
