Thanks for the kind words gentleman. Very happy I stumbled across this. It sounds a lot better 2nd time round. That said, everything is different in my system.
First the quirks of the prem350. Is it just me, or is there a secret handshake spot to turn this on. Huge power button but only a small position on the top just left of centre switches on the amp. Then a couple of internal clunks to switch on. I vaguely remember this first time round. Man,is this thing HIGH gain. This I do not understand as all cj pre amps are also high gain. With high gain comes a bit more noise/tube rush through the tweeters. More than my tube amps. I would not like to be running CD as you would send your life between 1 and 10 of the vol control. How does it sound? Really nice. Sounds effortless, composed, less overall bloom than my tubes, tighter lower bass, up loud can turn a little two dimentional. Mids are nice and open, treble sweet but not dark. Sounds more toe tapping at lower volumes, the tubes come into their own at higher volumes. Overall, a great amplier and very happy I now have a ss amp that I can live with and did not cost me an arm and a leg and arguably would not sound much better.
