Default New LP125m arrived
Just got a pair of LP125m tube monoblocks for a couple of weeks to test. They now have about 100 hours on them and they are already sounding glorious. Great imaging and soundstage, details and transparency. Compared to the LP66s I tested these are in a different level. Besides the added power I feel the LP125m's are much more refined.
The LP125m are driving my Amati's without a problem. Piano tracks have never sounded better. You can really be fooled into thinking the piano is there in the room with you.

I will continue to update as they break in further, I guess another 200 hours or so. I would be interested to hear others experience with these amps.

Hi Howie,

There's just something special about C-J gear. A naturalness that sounds right.
