Getting the Upgrade Bug Again


I just listened to some CJ gear this weekend. It was the ET3 SE pre-amp coupled with the Classic 60 SE amp. Not that I am unhappy with my current integrated amp, but clearly this is a step upwards.

I want to stay with tubes and would prefer to purchase new gear. So is there anything else I should listen to that is in the same price range of the CJ gear, which is $9,500.

Yes, quite often B&Ws are not a good match with tubes, in particular the models with dual woofer arrays.

But if you still have a hankering to show off the capabilities of a tube amplifier, try a set of Audiokinesis loudspeakers. They are reasonably priced, wide bandwidth and very revealing, as well as easy to drive.
