Power is Your Friend...

That's what Dan Babineau, out technical editor, keeps telling me.
"I'm so glad you finally got out of that SET phase you were in."  I'm
currently using a conrad-johnson ET250s amplifier, which has 250 wpc,
by far the most I've ever used.  (Dan designed the caps for these, by
the way, so he approves of my choice.)

So I've gone from the "first watt is the most im****tant" crowd to the
"power is your friend" crowd, and I see the point of each group.  It's
nice to have an amp that can drive any speaker in the world.  Still, I
miss that special sound I enjoyed from my Yamamoto Sound Craft A-08S
45 SET amplifier, which had all of 2 watts per channel.

The cj amp is probably by far the finest amplifier I have ever used in
my home. (For the record, I'm still a tube bigot...I'm also using the
Nagra PL-L line stage.)
