RE: Conrad Johnson Premier Two

Posted by Mick Wolfe on February 16, 2017 at 11:35:34:
The gap you speak of would apply if you were to compare the 30+ year old Premiere designs and the more modern CJ ART or GAT designs. All the above were built to be state of the art efforts in their particular timeframe. The PV 10 was only built to be an affordable entry level option. Personally, I'd take one of the older Premieres any day over the PV 10, but that's only my opinion. FWIW, they both share a similar warm somewhat forgiving signature. If you're looking for a pre-amp with greater resolution and a more modern sonic signature, you should probably seek out one the CJ ART or ET series pre-amps on the used market.
