In Reply to: RE: Conrad Johnson solid state amplifiers compared posted by AbeCollins on December 30, 2024 at 14:46:09:
The Conrad-Johnson MF-2250A could have used more air, life, and treble extension.
It did not matter, how good the PF-R sounded; it was simply not usable. Like 90% of preamps, when the volume control was at or near min, the sound was TOO FRICKIN' LOUD!!!
And the polarity inversion was lame.
Because of these experiences, and with the prices increasing (which made the competition a better value, by comparison), my audiophile acquaintances stopped trying and using CJ products. It's certainly possible, that current-production is good.
