i've heard both the triode and ultralinear preimer 11 with the premier 14 and 16ls. they both sounded good. but the 16ls was the clear winner. i've heard the audio research ls16 together with their classic 60 and their 100 watt offering (the classic 100?). that too was a nice sounding pre-amp. but you already knew or figured that. i've not heard it together with cj gear. sorry i'm not able to be more helpful. good luck.
