I had the CJ-PV12L and regret not trying replacement tubes. It had two issues that didn’t get resolved in the shop. audible noise at low volume also channel imbalance. it has a balance control, and the noise didn’t increase with the gain, so could "compensate" but got good trade-in value so tried one chassis Rogue Chronus. Not convinced that I got back the 3d soundstage and separation of instruments. I am considering going back to tube pre and ss amp. The CJ was nice, even with the midfi Rotel 1080 amp. Had B&W 683 at the time.
ARC amplifier with Conrad Johnson Preamp
Hello guys
Finally I’m starting to rebuild my audio again.
I sold all my gear few years ago and just kept my ARC ref75se power.
now I’m looking for shelf speakers and preamp
I have found Conrad Johnson Premier 14 at a decent price ..
Have anyone here ever experienced ARC with CJ
its always the fight between the two I wonder how they do together ?
thank you!
