It was TAS review that got me fired up in the first place. The guy even was using a CJ amplifier for the review. I also had a CJ amp at the time, but an MV 50 , not the larger model he had. At 91 db efficiency, I thought I'd be good to go. Complete bust. I think the impedance curve may not have been that friendly for one thing. Certainly may have been better suited for solid state amplification. In the end, maybe just a system compatibility issue, but Olsher had no luck either. Can't remember what amps he was using though. Water over the dam now.

Yes. well over the dam. Olsher was hit or miss, IMHO. I found some of - Opus 33 1/3 14:30:19 05/16/15 (3)
his reviews, like the Music Reference preamp, were spot on. Some others, not so much.

  Yep. Had an RM 5 III back in the day as well. Very nice little pre-amp. Only 3 tubes to worry about and an adjustable gain feature. An excellent value.
  - Mine was an MKIV. Excellent preamp. Used Rodger's tubes./nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 11:03:35 05/17/15 (0)

    Forgot to add that back then I put far too much weight in reviews/reviewers and was burnt more than once. Finally learned to trust my own ear.
