Conrad Johnson Premier 10

Hi
I just picked up a CJ Premier 10 tube preamp in perfect cosmetic shape (under all the grime). Needs some work as controls are v scratchy and tubes need replacing, but does anybody have experience with this amp? Also, if I want to get a CJ power amp of similar vintage (early 90's I believe) what model should I try (either tube or s/state is OK)?
Thanks

Your amp choice will depend your speakers, room, desired volume and sonic tastes.

You can peruse their web site under classic products. I have heard good things about the evoulution 2000 and the Premier 5's. You may want to check them out or you can always call Knut at CJ for some recommendations. And as the above poster mentions there are a few variables that you need to be aware of when making an amplifier selection.

Good Luck

My room is 11*17 and i listen to mostly small scale classical, acoustic stuff, with some noisier rock/soul/blues stuff thrown in occasionally. I prefer listening at moderate levels. As for speakers, I have a set of Quad 988's but also some Spendor S3/1 monitors and a Rel Strata sub.
Hopefully this will help with potential amp recomendations.
Thanks,
Peter
