CJ preamps?


Borowed a friends CJ PV4 an older tube pre. It really made my ATI amp and OHM Walshs sound great, much better than the SAE I was using. I am interested in which CJ pres to look at used say up to $1500? I see lots of different variations just on Agon now....PV 10, 10B 10AL and so on. Which models should I be looking for? I saw a reference on another site that said only look at 3. 6. 9,10? HELP.

Also, havent heard them but saw a pre from Canary Audio for $400....the CA200. Anyone familiar with these? I saw a great writeup for other more expensive units from them...they seem be a low profile sleeper.

Drop Bill Thalmann of Music Technology, Inc. an e-mail at info@musictechnology.com. Bill is the former designer and chief technician at CJ. He now mods equipment, including CJ stuff and others. He has done work for me which was absolutely exceptional.

Bill has a wealth of info about CJ and would be IMHO the best source for thoughts on used CJ stuff.

Good luck.
