What amp to match with Conrad Johnson Premier 16/2

I also have the CJ 16/2 and like the combo of a tube preamp and a ss amp. You really can get the best of both worlds. I don't know if Jeff Rowland is in your price range but I use my 16 with the Model 10 and it is an excellent match. It seems to bring out the best of both pieces in my system.

The information on the Jeff Rowland Model 10 is scanty at their website.

I see it is a two chassis model with a switching power supply.

Does the type of power supply mean that it runs pretty cool during idle?

Also, is it practical to tuck away the power supply out of sight, maybe 2-3 feet away from the amplifier unit?

Non sound related questions, I know, but I'm grateful for the benefit of your experience.

Yes you are correct, it is a two chassis unit with a switch mode power supply. I stack the units on top of each other as the stock connecting cord is only about 6 inches long. The amplifier is rated at 150 watts per channel and for the most part runs quite cool. As I only have the chance to listen on the weekend, I turn it on Friday night and off on Sunday pm. By Sunday, the top of the power supply is warm to the touch only. Hope this helps.
