Truer words were never spoken. I've been chatting with some other folks in another forum who are considering getting some C-J, and they are hemming and hawing over whether they should get this or that C-J preamp, and I keep telling 'em..."It doesn't matter, C-J couldn't build a bad sounding preamp if they wanted to. Just pick one and enjoy."

There seems to be a lot of that going around and Stephen you are absolutely correct, C-J stuff is really nice.

I observe that CJ gear is very quickly sold at the moment on Audiogon, there is a big turnover.... would there be an AA effect?

From personal experience, I'd say YES!

I see that an MV60SE in Chicago hit Audiogon today at $1700. Let's see how long it stays up.

Meanwhile, the repaired SC25 now has almost 72 cooking hours under its chassis, and the fix--replacing the trim pots with 5% metal film resistors--has effected a quieter, blacker-background, less congested preamp than existed before the rushing noise problem manifested itself. I'll just leave my listening impressions at this: Given the initial acquisition price, and even with the repair costs to the 25 and the SA250, I feel like my picture should adorn a "Wanted for Highway Robbery" poster. Or should that be "Got Away with Murder?"

Wow! Very glad to read you are happy. Yea, I saw the MV60SE this morning. Looked like it was in a little better shape than the MV60 I'm getting.
