I have used CJ and Levinson extensively. They both have a similar presentation and in my opinion work well together. All my combinations use the Levinson 37 transport. First I used a CJ Premier 11a, CJ Premier 14 and ML 36s. When I got the upgrade bug I borrowed a ML 380 and compared it to the CJ Premier 14 in my house. The ML 380 had better bass definition. The CJ Premier 14 presented more detail, wider and deeper sound stage. Currently I use a Cary 805C amp, CJ Premier 16 pre-amp, CJ Premier 15-II phono pre-amp, ML 360S DAC and ML 37 transport.
