It's a hard call. You really need to hear them side by side in your system. IMO the CJ is a more subtle preamp allowing you to hear detail, instrument and singer placement and inner harmonics. In some systems the top end sounds ever so slightly softened (not to be confused with being rolled off or compressed). Otherwise, it is simply listening to music as it should be. I like both, so it comes down to your ears. Take the time and listen to them.
