My problem with CJ tube gear is their 'house sound' which is very nice if you enjoy warm and polite but my pop, rock, and blues don't want to be THAT polite. The solid-state CJ MF2250A was more to my liking than their tube amps.
I liked its lively sound but I had to let the solid-state CJ PF-R linestage go because the Remote Control was just too twitchy. The entry tube linestages including the CJ PV-14L and my oldie PV-12L were both too polite and a bit rolled-off at both ends.
