conrad johnson premier 14 vs conrad johnson pv 14l

could anyone tell me the difference between the conrad johnson premier 14
vs the conrad johnson pv 14l mk2.
i had a ct5 & sold it because i wanted the warmer cj sound.
i know the premier was more expensive.
i am also considering some older cj preamps as well.
any input would help.

The premier 14 was once the near top of the line Preamp at CJ
Its a beautiful romantic tube sound preamp. Only Issue I had with the piece is the clicking of the volume control during volume changes. Its is one of the best sounding preamps I have ever owned. Due to its age it may be had a bargin price.

I went through the same thing. I had a CT6 and sold it to buy the Premier 16. The Premier 14 is nice but if budget allows the Premier 16 will give you more detail than the 14 and still retain the warm presentation that you are looking for.
