Yes, i recall that as well, Joe. The old Premier 8 came 8XS which was set in triode mode so half the power, but apparently sublime.I seem to remember some CJ amps were available wired in Triode mode. Am I dreaming? Can they still do it now? I sent an email to tech support and am waiting for an answer. Thanks.

G'day Joe,
I see that in your systems component listing you have the SF Stradivari! So did you get the pair finally, and how are they with your c-j amps?
Ref to triode configuration; yes nearly all c-j tube power amps can be configured in triode if you wish to do so.
I don't know if you're planning on doing this with the ART monoblocks, I would certainly think c-j could do this quite easily, of course at a cost.
This would definitely half the output power, and make them more suited to high efficiency monitors. If your ART amps are fitted with KT120's, then this type of sound would most certainly be far better than in triode mode. However, if the ART amps had 6550c's, then triode may be an interesting venture with the much smaller EL34 type.
See what they say and check it out. Do let us know, this sounds interesting!
