Thanks, Zd. I know "back in the day" CJ was well regarded. Wasn't sure about current products. Yup - certainly best to find a seller that will allow home audition and return after a trial (if needed). Your comments about "too forgiving" duly noted. Wondering if that's the flip side of what people mean regarding a CJ house sound. Thanks again for taking time to reply.
CJ Classic 2 line stage pre-amp?
Hoping to hear from owners of this entry level pre-amp from Conrad Johnson. What amp & speakers are you using it with? What did it replace? How do you find it w/respect to imaging, air, stage width & depth, resolution and tonal balance? (You know, the usual half dozen or so things to obsess about). Also, I have come across reference to a CJ house sound but not sure what that means. Thanks in advance for your comments on any and all of the above.
