As our esteemed Ivan doesn't seem to want to create a mfrs forum for C-J, let's start our own owner's thread!

I'm a big fan, and have owned four different C-J products, a PV 12 preamp, a Premier 11A power amp, and my present system, a Premier 17LS preamp and LP70S power amp. Likely will stay with this setup for a long time, unless I can find a Premier 350!

Tell us about your C-J gear, experiences, faves...

Puma...I have not nor currently own CJ products but if I were to buy one CJ product it would be the Premier 350. They hardly ever come up on Agon. Great power amp. I auditioned the CJ CT5 pre and and LP140 monos and that was quite a nice pairing. I believe the speakers were Thiel 3.7s and an Esoteric digital front end.

I look for Premier 350's daily. I heard one from the guy who sold me my Premier 17LS, and it was REALLY nice.

I have a LP70S and it is a sweet amp, too. I bought it for $2600, which is a steal for a $7500 amp.

I like JC gear. The pre-amps are GREAT.
