I owned the CJ 16 and liked it a lot. However the TRL Dude tube preamp was a utter and complete revelation to my music compared to the well respected 16. Based on this experience please do yourself a big favor and consider the Dude.
Conrad Johnson Art vs. Premier 16 LS II
I have a friend who has maxed out his system pretty good. He has been running a premier 16 ls ii with unbeleivable success.
He is now at the point of chasing phantom upgrades and I was thinking of recommending an upgrade to a art as its about 2x his upgrade budget but i think it would be a much bigger than a 2k power cable to his ac conditioner, all cables except that one are top flight, that is a decent cable.
What could one expect to see in the upgrade of a premier 16 LS II to a ART or ART II?
