Gallo Ref 3 and CJ Premier 350

Chazzbo, you sure are hard to convince. What, exactly, will it take, and why should we bother?

:-)

I'm amazed with the Gallos too. The reviews have all pretty much stated though, that they respond best to good electronics, especially those with big power reserves. That being said, I love my Gallos and think they sound terrific. I'm glad you got to hear yours as they can truly sound. Good enough to keep. I would recommend the additional aftermarket stands though. They bring the sound out in a whole new way.
Enjoy,
Dave

Congrats on your purchase of the CJ 350. It is an outstanding amp but does require about 200 hours of run in time. CJ says 100 but I have found mine improving beyond the 100 hour point. The amp is simply amazing at its ability to develop large amounts of power (current) with so much finesse and detail. I am currently driving Thiel 3.6's with my premier 350. I have owned it for about a year and do not see myself changing amps for a long time.

What does the 350 cost anyway? Can't remember seeing any reviews of it yet, and CJ's website provides few details (as usual). I recently got a McCormack DNA-500 from a member who's using the 350 now, and though he thinks highly of both amps you can see which he sold and which he kept.

The 350 retails for around 8500USD. There are a couple of reviews posted on CJ's web site at least there used to be.
