I wouldn't be so quick to blame things on the CJ preamp. The CJ PV 12A is a superb sounding piece. If you want richness of tone and smoothness of velvet with tight well defined bass (not bloated or flabby) very few preamps can match it's fine qualities.
What Pre in connection with a C-J Pr 11A?
I am using the Premier 11A with Audiostatics speakers and a PV12 A PRe, of which I am not fully convinced - I have used other gear with "different" possibilities showing. Any experience on what is really fantastic? I am a professional violinist working in chamber music, so my preferences are clear, I look for a tube-window!
