Conrad Johnson Officially Transfers ownership

According to Audio Beat August 17 article, Jeff Fischel is now the owner of CJ, Jeff has been w/the company since the late 80's. Good to see they din't sell to outside interests. Hate to have another Thiel car crash. Also some new gear is on the way. A new ET 7  preamp and a high end Headphone preamp are on the way in 2018. If you look at the current CJ website the ET 5 isn't listed as a current preamp but is in the vintage category. Wonder if the ET 5 is gone??

Thanks! for sharing linnlingo
Jeff was poised for this position and will continue to do great things for Conrad Johnson. I had heard that this transition would take place soon.
Good to read that Conrad and Johnson did not sell to an "outside" interest.
Happy Listening!

I prefer not to ride around with hard drivers, not that there's anything wrong with it.
