included a PV-5 with an Eagle 2A driving Infinite Slope speakers (what became Joseph Audio). By "better" I mean musically satisfying, not necessarily being able to tell if the third chair violinist dyed her hair or not. ;^)

The biggest concern as I recall (this was decades ago) was excessive gain. I don't believe the volume control was ever advanced beyond about 9:30.

Now looking back I wonder why that was the only piece of c-j gear I ever owned?
