Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh....

Hi Friends,

If you were to buy a brand based on musical involvement would you go CJ or Mac for amplification? Thanks for your opinions.
Is CJ equipment reliable? Does one outweigh the other in reliability?

IF you can live without remote you will not be disappointed. My DAC and a few sources of mine have remote volume so it didn't matter to me.

I had a McIntosh C15 and it was good. I think my Conrad Johnson Classic 2SE is much better but it's not apples to apples being tube vs solid state and being newer and more expensive. That C15 served me well, five years not one problem. The c-j is only 10 months old but so far so good. I think system synergy has MUCH to do with how a component "wows" you or not so auditioning in your system is a must at these price points.
