I have enjoyed my auditions of CJ and helped a good friend of mine choose a preamp… it is a CJ… he has been very happy with it for over 25 years, no service required. If I wasn’t so committed to Audio Research I would own a Conrad Johnson. Both are great high end products.
CJ PV12 or VTL TL2.5
Trying to decide between these two. After an exhaustive internet search (including here) turned up little, has anyone ever compared these directly? Or if you've owned either, what are your thoughts? Any reliability concerns, esp. with VTL? I have read that VTL's had reliability issues?
