I have the prem 11a and I like it better in the Hi-power mode. I don't like classical only pop & rock so the 70watt setting works best for me. BTW your cables are not recomended for tube amps. I tested MIT 770 and the amp was running hotter than usual. Soundstage magazine recomends against using cables with networks or electronics in them. Read all about it at their site. Kimber Silver cables are awesome with tubes.
Conrad Johnson Premier 11a--Triode?
Has anyone listened to CJ's Prem. 11a in both the standard (70w; 6550) and triode (35w; EL34) configurations? If so, any thoughts? The balance of my system will be Wadia's 850 and JM Lab's Mezzo Utopia's. All connected with Transparent Reference. I'm probably going to run my Wadia right into the Amp, but if I do go with a pre-amp I'm thinking of CJ's Prem 14 or 16ls.
