Cj experts: advice sought

Dear Conrad Johnson people,
I have been through about 3 preamps over the last 3 years (Rogue 99, Minimax, etc.) and I always come back to missing the musicality and toe tappiness of my old CJ PV11. I am considering going back to CJ now with this question mind. My PV11 was a bit zippy in not that great resolution in the highs. Everything else I enjoyed. A tuneful bass, nice rythm, and of course the golden glowing midrange. Is there a CJ model that retains all the good things I remember from my PV11 but improves upon my perceived weakneses ? I can most likely do a Prem, 10, or 14. If you have any suggestions or know of something that is available that will suit me please respond.
Warm regards,
Cb

I understand the premier 14 which is similar to the 10 but has a remote is a very nice non-current model. You can always try it and sell it if it isn't what you are looking for. The Pemier series of pre-amps is built to a higher standard and is constructed of much better parts than the PV based models are. I started with a PV-10a and didn't stop until I got to the 16lsII. I also enjoyed a short stint with a 17ls. I believe if you stay in the Premier line you will get the detail you seek. Just my thoughts.
