Second the Premier 14. Plenty of inputs and outputs, replacement tubes (four 6GK5) are inexpensive, terrific remote and -- best of all -- great sound. I've enjoyed mine since l996 and have no plans to upgrade. They're going for around $1500 on Agon these days. Good luck, Dave
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
