My wife isn't interested in my hobby either. However, the other day I was listening to her favorite Tracy Chapman CD through the new CT6 and she actually sat down and listened to several songs. I checked outside and on the news because I thought hell froze over

I exchanged some emails with the sales rep I got my CT6 from. I wanted to share some of his comments. He expresses the same sentiments regarding the CT6 as I do but says it better.


"When cj went to the Cascade Triode design, first implemented on the ART and then the ACT and finally to the CT series, I felt as though they had achieved a real breakthrough in preamp design, be it solid state or tube. The last preamp I heard that moved things this far forward was the Krell KBL back in the late '80s. To my ear, the Cascode Triode designs sound neither tube nor solid state. They seem to genuinely transcend the weaknesses of either whilst maintaining the strengths of each. Of all the preamps I have heard, they make music. I'll tell you, we are on a huge run with cj, they are selling like crazy, something that few manufacturers can claim in this economy. When people buy a cj, from then on they usually only upgrade to a new cj when it's time for something new. We've even sold three of the new GATs. With cj, it's all about parts quality, they simply do not compromise. I really believe that right now they are building some of the best gear ever made."
