hi
I have Krell 450mx. I used to pair them w/ a First Sound Audio tube preamp and had no problems but it did not have DC leakage.
I recently bought a Krell KCT to see what it sounds like. Personally I prefer the Krell better for one for reason: Cast connection. You will hear increase in details, transparency, dynamics... I also use a Krell 28c cdp so my whole system is connected via cast connection.
Your choice of music will benefit more w/ the Krell. The CJ is sweet and romantic so it is better for vocal and jazz music.
