I'm a long-time CJ fan (currently, Premier l4 and Premier l2s), so was attracked to their two-unit CD player with a tubed DAC. Big mistake. The DAC was frequently in the shop and the sound was uninvolving. Also, the transport would not play CDRs or CDRWs and about 5% of my other CDs (which played fine in other machines). The real stunner was when it was simply blown away, sound-wise, by an unmodified Pioneer DV-4l4 DVD player that literally cost l/l0th as much as the CJ pair. The single-unit CJ player may be an improvement over my pair (I figure it almost has to be), but I can't help thinking you can do a bunch better. Cheers, Dave
have u heard Conrad Johnson's tube CD player?
... the DV-2b? I'm interested, and can't find much by way of reviews or feedback on the unit. Can't even find the spec sheet on CJ's site!
