Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5

Well, I just couldn't get my arms around the CJ gear. In a completely different twist of events, I decided to go with the Luxman 590Ax Class A amp.

Hi Jafant,

I am using mixture of Nordost Heimdall and Frey2 across the board.

Thanks Cellorover. It's a big jump for me right now financially but I'm getting the two pieces for $14,000 (store demos with less than 100 hours and full warranty). Like you, I will be getting rid of the ss amp.

I will be bringing the gear home today for a 3 day audition - given my addictive tendencies, my guess is that the gear will not go back to the store!

Thanks Marco1

That is something to consider!

I am glad I got the Luxman. It is a Class A amp that is very tube like. Great soundstage and detail. Plenty of features such as tone control, headphone amp and phono stages built in. Now I have a bunch of power cords and interconnects to sell!!

jafant and oddifyl - I loved my Luxman and foolishly I sold it and got several other amps after it (Accuphase E-470, Gato AMP 150 and now and Accuphase E-600).  

It is an exceptionally well crafted integrated amp and it's the amp I regret selling the most!   I did by the Luxman and Gato from AVT in Nashua - they totally ROCK!

jafant - it's a great amp.  Of course, I am constantly looking for something better!
