Cary slp 98 vs CJ 16 or 17 preamp


Has anyone compared these two head on? At this price point what else?

Not too many responses, which is strange. I would have thought that many have tried the slp 98 and a CJ in their decision.

I have a Cary SLP 2002 and compared to an earlier CJ (PV10) the Cary is notably more open and airy with a bigger soundstage. The CJ appeared to roll off the high frequencies, and sounded a little slower in pace.

Both people preferred the Cary with their sound tastes.

I'd be interested in what people think of at CJ 16 or 17 versus an earlier CJ as well.
