Is there a preamp outhere that sound like conrad johnson warm smooth and sweet but still have the detail without sounding muddy but using xlr interconnect any info will be greatly appreciated.
Are you looking for balanced inputs, outputs, or both? Only tube preamps that come to mind with both in/out are BAT and Atma-Sphere. Sonic Frontiers has XLR outputs, I think EAR has them. My Supratek has balanced outputs.
VAC Renaissance preamp has balanced in/out. I have not compared it to a CJ preamp but will say that it absolutely surpasses my previous Audio Research preamp in every aspect. The review in Stereophile is pretty much accurate although that was of the Signature version and I use the smaller Renaissance.
