You may have spoken with "Knut" at CJ. He's a great guy and has helped me in the past with various CJ questions. I picked up a used CJ PF-R a couple weeks ago and use it with my CJ Premier 11a. It's a very nice preamp for my taste.. and I've gone through many a preamp in the past year including Adcom GFP-750, ARC LS16, CJ PV-14L, CJ PV-12L, and Classe CP-35. I like the CJ PF-R best so far. I haven't had any problems with my PF-R but its driving the CJ Premier 11a which *may* be capacitor coupled.... not sure.
Help My
I just bought a used Conrad Johnson PF-R pre-amp here on Audiogon and I'm having some problems. My amp (Citation7.1) keeps overloading (the red indicator light goes on and off and the unit shuts itself off altogether then comes back on It does this even when there is no music playing through it. If I turn the amp on (the CJ is always on) and just let it sit there, after about five or ten minutes the problem begins. I do not have this amp problem with any other pre-amp hooked up to it, it only occurs when the Conrad Johnson is connected to it. It seems really strange that this would happen even when there is no music playing. Is there some kind of short circuit going on in the CJ? I wanted some expert advice before I contact the seller about this problem. I should mention that the pre-amp itself never seems to show any signs of distress and when I'm playing music it sounds fantastic.
Thanks,
Steve
