ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new?


I am considering going back to separates. I owned a Conrad Johnson PV-8 tube pre-amp (1988) and liked it alot. However, I like some opinions on what might be CJ's best vintage amp and pre-amp of the last 10 years only. Would even consider reasonable, reliable, modifications if worthwhile and audible. (Unfortunately, CJ's new separates are very too expensive). I have a Creek SE5350 Classic, but can't find another integrated that fits my needs and power requirements and price range. All opinions and comments welcomed. Thank you

Uuummmm......SS, or tube? Price range? C-J has made so many excellent components over the years, it's hard to answer w/o narrowing it down (the very "best" I'm guessing are the most expensive).

FWIW, I own a C-J Mf2250 amp, & a PF-R pre-amp, that I use in my "bedroom system". If you want SS, they're both great sounding components, & probably a lot better sounding than most integrateds...
