problems with CJ's Premier 140 ? anyone

There's a Cj 140 offered @ audiogon at atttractive price & I'm thinking about it.
I did read numerous post about this amp having problems with tubes blowing up & bias resistors going out of whack. Anyone here with this particular amp having problems with these symptons ?

Whats the real score on this amp ? I heard its being discontinued. So short of a production. Makes me wonder.

Perhaps someone here can shed some light on this matter.

Thanks for inputs & much appreciated!

hi FJN,

compatability issue is not a problem with the rest of my system.

my concern is more of the reliability.

I've heard this amplifier a few times at dealer showroom using the speakers i have and its fine.

I'm thinking of the LP70s but its only 70 watts and a bit shy for my speakers. The CJ140 is really my choice but i just need to know on its reliability, etc.

I love its sound, no doubt! its great with Proacs, Sonus Fabers and even dynaudios. Am bent on buying one if I can resolve the reliability issues.

Anyone here with CJ140s who can share ??

thanks for inputs.
