Looking to simplify

At present have a Conrad-Johnson Premier 16 series II preamp, am very happy with it but am wondering about something new and different, though still tube oriented.
My wants are pretty simple, 2 pre outs, at least one line for a CD player and two others for auxiliary, one for a phono use.
Not looking for anything for home theatre or computer usage.
Let the suggestions fly.

Why not simplify with a high quality integrated?
The choices are endless, but check out Luxman, LFD, Lavardin or PrimaLuna/Mystere.

I second the suggestion that you consider a high quality integrated. What speakers are you using?

At present my speakers are Legacy Focus 20/20's but that may change, not sure yet.

You may also consider the VTL 5.5 with built in phono.
thanks. Louis

CJ's are like fine wine... better with age. You might end up in utter disappointment. I would keep what you have, unless of course there is a 'space' problem now. The idea of an 'integrated' is a good one. I know it isn't new, but you might consider an old Mac 5100 if tubes are a must. Very sweet sounding integrated, and Mac still services them.
Nothing like owning and enjoying a 'classic'.

Best,
Norman
