Conrad Johnson--does anyone use this brand anymore?

Right On! ebm.
CJ gear not only sounds excellent, but it is priced right in comparison to other brands and quality of products.
Happy Listening!

Nice post removal for truth.  Sounds about right. 

I looked into a new C-J preamp when recently upgrading my system For years I have been using and enjoying a C-J PV-10-A (once their entry level pre) into a Krell KST100.
The C-J has been very nice (a steal at the then price of $1K).
 Given the rapid advance into the digital age my take is C-J is staying somewhat "old school" (not bad at all). A new C-J pre plus a DAC would be ideal but pricy. I went with Audio Alchemy DDP-1.
Nice web site for C-J--they are a very fine and "classy" operation.
