I biased it this morning and have been listening for only a short time – less than two hours, and I know I’m in for a rollercoaster ride.

That having been said, so far my impressions are of the music emerging from a dead silence. The upper treble seems a little more extended while the bass has character and is tuneful. The music is fast, clear and rhythmic. I’m enjoying it and looking forward to the experience as it settles in.
thank goodness it made it unscathed! and yea, I'll bet it will be a rollercoaster ride. Keep your seat belt on and enjoy!

Thanks, guys. Although I tend to get motion sick at times, so far it's been very nice.

Thanks.

CJ's are now on the new racks. Obligatory cat in shot as well



The turntable chain isn't quite right yet. New arm on its way and a new phonostage as well. The cart will have to change as well at some point.

A little late in posting some pics of my CA200.... Putting my Mc's into hibernation for now.



Experimenting some wood blocks under the CA200 for better airflow....
