anyone still rocking this classic CJ power amp in his system?
I would be interested in reading from the owners about the brand(s) of cabling utilized. I have only auditioned this amp w/ Audience cabling.

Its a beast. Cabling would go to system synergy. From the mnaual:

"""The Importance Of Wires


Interconnect and speaker wires are an important element in your stereo
system. Interconnects are available which will permit a reference quality
system to blossom and fulfill its promise of musical reality. Others will
strangle the system to the point where it becomes little better than aver
-
age. To complicate matters, our experience suggests that the choice of
interconnects will be system dependent - those that are top ranked on
one system may be a poor choice for a different system. Consult your
conrad-johnson dealer for recommendations for your specific system."""

It has been a few years now, but I rocked the 350 with Kubala-Sosna Emotion interconnects and an Elrod Statement powercord. I felt at the time that these both helped bring more harmonic heft to the music, which most SS amps need, IME. I only left the amp to go back to my flirtations with tube amps.

Thank You- jbrrpl

it is good to read that KS cabling is a sonic match for this power amp.
