Unsound, if you come across a Conrad-Johnson PV-9a at a decent price, don't discount it just because it's an earlier model. It used very high parts quality and was built to a higher price point than either the PV-11 or PV-12. It has a delicious phono stage, if somewhat soft-sounding by comparison to some of today's best designs.
CJ PV series + SS amp
I'm thinking about adding a 2nd system. I have a buddy who is looking to sell one of his 2 amps.
Bryston 3BST or Belles 150A Hotrod. He lives a ways away so I can't listen to the amps. I recall that Bryston is quite neutral sounding, maybe slightly warm. But not fimilar with the Belles.
I see CJ PV11 & 12 preamps here at a good price all the time. Can anyone( with listening experience with these amps )tell me which would be a better match with a CJ? I like it a little warm :)
LAT IC's, Kimber speaker wires, CAL Sigma II dac, CAL CL-10 transport. Vandersteen 2c speakers.
thanks in advance!
