conrad johnson comparison MF200 VS. Premier 4

IMO, $1200 "is" less due to age. conrad johnson still offers full support for this amp, including full refurbishing back to original spec and/or upgrades. It's a well made amplifier and a good tech will be able to keep it going indefinitely. I'm not trying to influence you, just offer you my perspective. Of course, the condition of the amp should have a bearing on its price. If it were me, I would want to know its maintenance history.

second owner doesn't have any manufCTURE history of repairs or otherwise. It's why iam thinking of a lower value < 1k

I wonder what data audiogon has, unfortunately i don't have a subscription

I count myself very fortunate in having a friend who is a gifted tech that has worked with some top amp designers. cj's services are not cheap. I would not recommend buying vintage unless either you are tech savvy or you have a good local tech that you trust.

Conrad Johnson Premier 4 released 1983, 100w,:new at 2950$
Last sold at 1,260$
Average at 1170$

Hope this help..........
