cj preamps

I've had my premier 14 for 5 years now, has been very reliable, upgraded from a pv10 - sorry to hear Cytocycle had a bummer with cj - their service with me has been impeccable - but I've had trouble with another so I know the frustration. The cj is outstanding - go back and read the reviews for further analysis. I use mullards to great effect but the GE's cj now uses are good too.

You will get a big jump from the pv10, very dynamic preamp with silky midrange.

I recently picked up the 17ls 2 and it is fantastic . Large open stage with the rich layered harmonic texture CJ is famous for. The mk 2 is very close to performance to the original Art. This baby is staying with me for a while!

I've borrowed a friends Premier 14 and bought the 17. I do'nt ever envisage changing. I did'nt do a back to back comparison, so can'nt give the fine points of difference. Both have a wonderful soundstage and midrange, outstanding. I agree with pops, the company are always helpful. Both are a clear gain over any of the PV series. Do'nt forget the cheapest option, the Premier 10, basically a remoteless 14, they are around for$1200
