| Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore? linnlingo said: Love my CJ ET3 SE. Best preamp I've ever owned. Only one thing concerns me, the age of the ownership.

| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat My McCormacks' get pretty darn hot during the blossoming buzz, had them cranked for about 2 hours, at must yell to hear guy next to you, as we were in the backyard, and the speakers pointed towards open windows.

| Perreaux or Bryston? tough call, but go with the Bryston. reliability is better with Bryston. newer as well. enjoy ! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I am interested as well, EXCEPT there is no midrange dedicated driver, its all tweeters? why? | |

| 3 Hour Warm-up? My CD player has less than 15 hrs of actual "play" time, but iusually turn everything on the night before, so there is a good 6-7 hrs of just being on to get nice and toasty | |
