Conrad-Johnson PF-R Preamp Review Summary?


Can someone please summarize the Stereophile review for the CJ PF-R Preamp?

Stereophile Magazine October 1996: Conrad-Johnson PF-R Review page.247. I do not have this Stereophile issue. Thanks!

Hi abecollins,

I noticed this discussion on the CJ PF-R preamp.  I really love the BAT VK but after having a bad experience with the factory I wanted to try a different preamp solid-state.  I personally don't have the patience for tubes.  Your experience with preamps is larger than mine.  The only preamp that I tested that I really liked was the BAT.  I have an adcom 555 amp which is fine.  And I was thinking of buying a Adcom 750 preamp. But after Reading some reviews one in particular who compared the  BAT VK 20 and 30 to the 750 I just decided not to go there.  If I have to go there I feel now I would go with a BAT 42SE.  But this preamp would have to be in mint like new condition so I don't have to deal with the factory.  For now just to have sound I'm thinking of buying the Adcom 565.  Can you tell me more about your experience with the CJ PF-R preamp?  I think it would be very helpful.

Thanks
