I've decided trying to do "fast" A/B comparos between the CT-5 and Premier 17LS are less than optimal, it's better just to live with one for a while, then swap out and live with the other for a while.
After a week of living with the CT-5, I patched in the Premier 17 tonight. Listening to a Music Matters 45 of Donald Byrd's "Cat Walk" on the Michell Gyro tonight and it sounds, well...purdy dang wonderful.
The Premier 17 images like nobody's business, has a wonderful musical "rightness" about it and a sweetness to it's presentation that is very special.
For what you can get these for used (if you act fast enough, they go on Audiogon in a day or less usually), they are smokin' good preamp. :thumbsup:
Great way for someone who's interested in checking out C-J preamps to get into the line.
