| Thinking about upgrade- seeking thoughts on “best” or “favorite” Conrad Johnson Amplifier @jjss49@jjss49 Yes, treat your ears and give the new amps a listen. Of the ones you heard, the Premier 140 was wonderful but I found it was preamp and cable selective. I actually owned one for about 2 years. | |
| Rogue DragoN or Bel Canto Ref600 M The Bel Canto Ref600M are great amps. I think they are sonically ahead of the Rogue. | |

| Thinking about upgrade- seeking thoughts on “best” or “favorite” Conrad Johnson Amplifier Correction.The MF 2550SE and 2275SE are still relatively new, so I would not hesitate to buy one.sorry for the autocorrect | |
| Thinking about upgrade- seeking thoughts on “best” or “favorite” Conrad Johnson Amplifier jjsr49, you need to hear the current CJ amps, they are not what you are describing. Even their CAV45S2 has great bass control. The new CJ amps are very neutral, detailed, musical, etc. The reviews are accurate.meiatflask, Maggies need power. The C... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 11a vs Classic 120 There is a very good discussion on this subject on the Conrad Johnson Owners web site. They are basically different amps. The Prem 11a is 70 watts and the Classic 120 125 watts. The Classic has better transformers and parts. It comes down to your ... | |
| Pass Labs vs. Sugden This topic was discussed in another thread, albeit with a twist, but it is still the same question:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-class-a-is-better-sugden-fpa-4-or-pass-labs-xa-25/post?p... | |
| Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8 I am a tube person but have two SS amps: XA25 and Herron M1As. I have never really been drawn into Pass but the XA25 was different, stunning, and engaging. And, I have 87db 4 hm speakers in a large room. The XA25 caught my attention right out of t... | |
| conrad Johnson 350se and Magnepan 20 speaker @stereo5 Thanks for the additional information. We all run into these hiccups. Sounds like you preamp and the amp did not work well together. Hope all is now sounding well. | |
| conrad Johnson 350se and Magnepan 20 speaker Correction:I can listen to it for hours. | |

Otherwise, we are not helping, which which is what this site is supposed to do. Once we do that, we can layer in other information.I have hea... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I have read and re-read the comments. My initial response is not to jump. I recently felt that there was a layer of "fuzz" in my system. I tried 3 different power amps and a new preamp (watch for a sale soon). In the end I added Isoacoustic Gaia f... | |

| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 Rooze. Glad to share some thoughts. IMO, the ET5 with a Mazda 7308 NOS or Cca NOS is better than the C2600 so maybe that is a baseline for you. The Herron gives the ET5 as good run for the money, and may edge it out. Then there is the ET7S2. As I ... | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 I had not listened to McIntosh for years, but the MC275 VI got my attention. I almost bought one for a third system. So, this lead me to listened to some of their other products. Based on the price, the C2500 is a very good preamp, but to my ears,... |
