md4emitters-
providing an amp works on an operational basis without any issues, Conrad Johnson claims, that capacitors/other critical parts are good for 20 years. Good to read that the 2550 found a new home. Hope this helps.
Happy Listening!
How much difference between new/refurbished amps and amps that need more than a tuneup?
I have been enjoying my ADS 990 and Conrad Johnson 2500 combo for almost a year. I have been waiting to find the right time to spring my other set of speakers ADS 980 on my wife. It's a tuff situation. The 980's sound deeper and far more detailed compared to my 990's. Oh well (shrugs should and shakes head)
I found an amazing deal a week ago here on Audiogon on a CJ 2550 from member stereo5.
It took a nano second to hear the clear and huge difference between amps, the 2550 rocks.
Now........now my 990's with my CJ 2550 sound deeper and more accurate than the 980's powered with the older CJ 2500. The more I progress in my journey thru HiFi the more I learn how important it is to audition every combo before bonding with it.
