I have just heard the ACT, but have had some previous AR preamps and currently own a pair of Premier 8s.
I second the recommendation to try to go and listen (preferably at your place), generaly speaking I would say thet the CJ line is a tad more musical, organic and involving than AR, which I find more analitic and grainy.
