| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Dre, tube rush was evenly distributed | |
| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Sometimes I feel like I need two amps--one for acoustic and the other for electronic music. The CJ MF2250 has never sounded better on acoustic folk and jazz, thanks to the tube replacement in the PV-15. And it's not even the "a" version. I'm drivi... | |
| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Dre, just discovered this online:6C4 tubes are available from Watford Valves of England as the Mullard CV4058 (military number) which is also known as a KQDD/K or M8080. These tubes are the best 6C4 variant that money can buy, and Conrad-Johnson u... | |

| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Jeffrey, thanks for the offer. I sent you an email. | |
| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? Dre, the original M8080's were indeed Mullard. The replacements, sent by CJ through one of their respected retail dealers, were not.

| Best M8080 NOS tube for CJ preamp line stage? no problems really; just waited too long to replace the m8080's and did it with stock dealer tubes. The difference in sound sparked a new level of understanding re. the potential sonic impact of tube rolling. I know I can do better so will give th... | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts Knownothing, speaking of Krell, there is now a major recall on some of their amps due to the fact they have ben catching on fire--lol | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts I'll sell you my CJ 2250 for $900--(hope this is not inappropriate, and if it is just ignore). | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts Seenu, I was at a Dealer sound room and did not catch the specific model NAD, but I do know NAD and PSB are owned by the same company. An M3 would probably make those T's sing. | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts I heard the T's driven with an NAD amp and they sounded pretty good. | |
| Pre-amp Upgrade Have you considered the CJ PV-15? It is neutral and dynamic. Or perhaps you would consider it a step down? | |
| CJ pre-amp with McIntosh amp? My 2250 has an IEC connector. Both amps are very musical BTW. If and when I do upgrade I'll probably keep the 2250 for a bedroom system with some dali 300 speakers or something similar. Once I move into a larger space I will need more power to con... |
