Best Conrad Johnson pre tube?

Did you compare recent premie LS17 pre (tube) with the famous premier 7?
Is the latest ls17 surely better then the best previous premier preamps?

I would bet that the older top of the line cj pre's would sound a little better. Then again I did not think the prem 17 was that good. IMO, go for a s/h prem16. Now that is a SOTA pre amp and a lot more dynamic and musical than the 17.
