Someone has a 17LS conrad johnson for sale on this site. "LS" is the Line Stage designation-. They are asking $2250. not as low as you mentioned. This is a great combo cj and Krell. There are several other of their pre's for sale here. One, I think 12B (BLACK) which is also a good match.
Good luck, and good listening.
