2. amps-preamps
  3. 129722-121

thinking of switching from conrad johnson......

trying to decide between pass x250.8 or plinius sb 30, was looking at the cj premier 350 or the McCormack dna 500, but these amps are getting a little long in the tooth.  any suggestion and your experience with these two amps would help.  and what pre amp would work best with them.  since not many preamp companies are left.  and any feedback from whilecamaross is very much welcomed......thanks in advance.

go for Conrad Johnson mate,they are far better than most of Pass amps.You can compare the psu first,Pass started to use cheap toroids, small capacitors and so on.There’s no any problem whatsoever about how old is an amp ,is totally irrelevant!

sistemf1   did just that, went for the mccormack dna 500, and was able to get a conrad johnson ETse, in heaven now......
just a follow up, went in for new power cords, new cables, and a power condt, but kept it conrad johnson.
