conrad johnson comparison MF200 VS. Premier 4


looking for input between to cj amps ss vs. tube. I am looking for that warm tube sound and large soundstage. I will be using alon II speakers, Jolida cd 100, with B&K Pro 10 MC pre-amp.

which should I purchase.

Owned the MF200. It is warm and tube like. A little slow bass and not super transparent. I began over the years to hear the character of the highs which led to its sale. But a powerhouse of an amp with a nice warm sound. The Premier 4 is a better amp, but it is tubes, which require more maintenance. Also owned that CD player. These amps are getting a little old now and you might be better off with a newer CJ or McCormack, Search for tube like amps that will help. I would consider replacing your preamp. You may want to go integrated tube like a Jolida.
"warm tube sound and large soundstage"

Hi Dvdgreco, I've never heard the cj Premier 4, but I own a Premier V, which is pretty much the 200 watt mono-block version of the Premier 4. Based on that, the Premier 4 should fit the bill easily.
