Solid State equivalents of CJ Premier 17LS?


Looking for detail and resolution
without grain or edge. Anyone willing
to help?

I believe CJ makes a solid state equivalent. I am not sure of the model but it is a ss preamp and carries the premier designation.
Why avoid the 17ls? It sounds great and is really easy to live with..I miss mine.
I agree with you Jman. I replaced my 17 with a 16 and have not looked back. But, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do away with the tubed 17 and go to ss. Tubes in a preamp are not a hassle and the sound is simply sublime.
Jman, Czbbcl,

I also am taken in by the 17ls, almost bought one yesterday.
I have not found an affordable tube unit (that I can actually
audition) that I like as much. Thought I should research
a solid state option as well.
Pass Labs X1. It's a great sounding preamp and can be had for a decent price. Good luck.
