On another note, I think this has been quite a "successful" forum in the sense that it generated a very respectable amount of traffic, some new members, and some lively discussion.

Wanted to thank Ivan once again for our own forum.

I agree. C-J has always been on the horizon having heard it many, many years ago. I think Stephen, Rayoo, Rafale, Jimtranr, and turntable got me thinking about it and acting on it in a big way and I am very happy I did!

For me, when I discovered 'Aficionado, saw that it lived up to: "The Friendly Forum for High-End Audio" and then to boot it has a CJ area....I was tripping over my KB to become a member.

Yes, Ivan, add me to the chorus saying "thank you" for this forum. Among other things, it's very helpful to get the perspectives, tips, and advice of fellow c-j owners. What I appreciate at least as much is the friendly, welcoming, and constructive tone of the conversations here, a refreshing departure from much of what passes for audio chatter elsewhere. So, guys, give Ivan and yourselves a round of applause. It's well deserved.

Jim

I think it's great you took the leap into the C-J community, and if I can speak for the rest of us, all of us C-J owners think you will be very happy for many years to come.

Congrats again on the ET-5!

BTW, keep us up to date on your experiences and impressions as your ET-5 runs in.

With the EAT tube? Let us know how that goes....might take a few days to burn in.

I should order up some Gold Lion 6922s...I will do that tonight.

I thought about getting the EATs, but at $225 each and the fact I need four, that's $900 in tubes...and I only paid $1900 for the entire preamp! LOL!
