Finally, after all these years, Lew and Bill have finally updated and redesigned their website. So much better looking and organized and with far more information. Go to the vintage products page, click on the product, and instantly the product's picture pops up along with a summary and a picture showing which tubes went where and another button that takes you to the product manual. One can see a lot of work went into revamping the site. Same thing goes for current products that come with an informational summary and online product manual.
One page that really struck me was the history page listing Conrad and Johnson's breakthrough products. As I scrolled through the list, I kept nodding my head up and down, yes know that product, yes owned that one, etc. Then reality dawned on me and I thought about all the money I've spent with them over their many years.
FYI, the intro paragraphs and picture were taken from an very old review done by Tom Miiller for Audio Adventure back in the '90s.
I actually thought these sentences taken from that page also nicely summarizes what high-end audio companies are about:
"This pursuit demands dedication and a genuine love of music that is impossible to hire, which explains the fact that in those few companies which succeed in producing musically satisfying components, product development is inevitably dominated by one or two individual personalities who are inextricably identified with the company."
Interestingly, next year marks conrad-johnson's 40th anniversary and one wonders what new product (s) they might have in store to commemerate that occasion?
