Lloyd,
Are you referring to the ACT2 or the ACT2 series 2? One think I noticed when I moved to the series 2 was that it was much cleaner is this aspect you call being "hot/white" in the treble, but could be seen as more "polite".
Also burn-in of the cj 350 is mandatory - it will not sound at its best if it is not used frequently. I just decided to put my premier 350 on sale because it has been unused for a long time - almost an year - and I wanted to listen to it in the Aida's. It had this characteristic transistor glare again, and 200 hours means waiting a full week before listening to it!
The Dartzeel NH108 is overall more much refined than the cj 350, but after you get used to the effortless and freedom of the dynamics of the 350, it will sound restrained in some systems. Also , IMHO, you need to own the matching preamplifier to know how good it can sound.
