CJ Premier 10 - still competitive?

Passive/Active preamps: pros and cons....
Passive preamps have some sonical benefits compared with active ones butat a cost, passive designs are very transparent, clean midrange reproduction units and closer to the thrith as for impact and attack of solo instruments (cymbals, woods and mo...

I had a Monolithic, First Sound and PLC Sonic Euphoria passives, to my ears the First Sound was thebest sounding, just with the trade-off of having a little sense of dynamic handling compared to the PLC (alsoa good choice)The Monolithic is great f...

Art Audio Diavolo
Someone who I respect had Art Audio amps with a pair of Avalon Eclipses. I have never heard her system but she still beleives that it was both a great match and a very musical setup.Fernando
