Every CJ tube piece I ever heard was 'polite' or 'soft', very nice for vocals, sleepy time lullabies, smooth jazz and such, but they couldn't rock. But I admit that I haven't heard a recent CJ.
The 'sleeper' CJ IMHO was the solid-state PF-R linestage. That one really boogied! I liked it's liveliness better than the 'higher-end' solid-state Premier 18LS.

Abe, I think you are exactly right about the PFR (I also had the EF1 phono preamp). I had one for about 10-15 years and constantly listened to higher end gear that wasnt as clean, clear, absolutely neutral and nearly as quick as that PFR. C-J tells me that people are still looking for that unit.
The only reason I sold my PF-R was because the remote control for the volume knob was a bit too twitchy for me. I would always overshoot or undershoot my desired volume level when using the remote. It was otherwise a fantastic linestage.
