I used a CJ PV10 for a while but preferred my C712 with my MC7200. The 712 was sweeter - although I think that NOS tubes would have helped the preamp a lot.
Incidentally, I used my CDP directly into the amp too but much preferred having the preamp in the chain. Dynamics were significantly better and the sound had more body (more 3D imaging). This was my experince anyway. Arthur
