@normansizemore Not disparaging cj in anyway but I had a premiere 11a for a while and did not like the amp at all. It also turned me off the 6550 tube for life. So not "everyone" loves cj. In fairness I've not auditioned any current cj gear in my own system.
I am surprised to hear that, maybe something was amiss with your sample? I have always liked the way their products are 'voiced'. I find them more to the sweet/rich side which I enjoy. Even their lower end solid state amps of the late 80's early 90's sounded pretty good. Personally I thought the Premiere 5 mono blocks were superb. Wonderful balance and not bass heavy like my KSA 50 or the ML2's I once had.
