Does anyone own the Luxman E-250 Phono Preamp? Or Conrad Johnson EF-1?

I alternate between a couple of decks.  My trusty Linn LP12 with a Mober bearing and sub platter, Lingo 3 ps, Cirkus sub chassis, laminated armboard with Pro-Ject Evolution Carbon 9cc arm, Hana EL cartridge, and deer hide platter mat.  The recent addition is a MoFi Ultradeck w/Mastertracker cartridge with the MoFi record weight.  For the record (no pun intended), I really dig that MoFi deck!  Currently my phono pre is an AVID Pellar, which I like, sometimes.  To be honest, I do prefer a "sweeter" sound and the AVID is very neutral. I know it sounds silly this day and age to complain about a component being too neutral, but I'm pushing 60, I have a sound I'm accustomed to.  I've owned dozens of decks and pre amps during my 40 years in this hobby.  The sound of gear over the years has changed.  I have also considered a used Conrad Johnson EF-1.  I'm at the point that I'd rather not mess with tubes anymore.  The phono pre I had before the AVID was a PS Audio GCPH, which was "warmish" with powerful bass.  I replaced enough CLASS D modules in it that I finally threw in the towel.  The AVID is fully on par in terms of extension and resolution with the GCPH, and seems superior regarding imaging.  This is a matter of tonality, or that now hated word, "color".  

So, anyone with experience with a Luxman E-250 or Conrad Johnson EF-1, I'd love to hear from you!
