I was looking for some input on the Lamm L1 or LL2 preamps and how they compare to the CJ LS16 MKII or MKI. I would be using the preamps to mate with a Pass Labs X-250 power amp and Talon Raven-C speakers.
Come now, Jtinn. You're perfectly correct that these two pieces of equipment come from different sides of the musical equation, but to say the CJ LS 16 is "very lush and tubey" strikes me as an overstatement of the CJ sound aesthetic.
Rushton: That is how I feel. It is certainly not a knock on the product. With many systems they match up incredibly well. If Bigkidz is looking for a warmer tubier sound, the CJ would be a better choice. I thought it was an important factor in answering his question.
