Sonic differences between Conrad Johnson preamps


I'm considering three Conrad Johnson preamps for my second system, the PV-8, the PV 11 and the fet PV-2. I would appreciate anyone's experice with the sonic differences between these components. Thanks!

"The CJ PFR solid state preamp is a close clone of the Motif MC-10. The Motif line did have many higher spec parts than the cloned CJ models."

Perhaps, but the PF-R has soft recovery diodes, meaning low level detail will not be lost by a muddy DC bias. I strongly suspect that the PR-R would spank the MC-10, though it does need Black Gate caps to be all that it can be.
