For sale is an excellent performing Conrad Johnson PF1 FET preamp.Wonderful soundstage and a highly regarded phono section. The faceplate and dials are in excellent shape. No major scratches on the case at all.I am selling as part of a system upgrade (to a CJ Premiere Two). I have owned several CJ preamps (all tube) and this performs just as well as its more expensive tube preamp counterparts.
I had this paired with its original partner, the CJ MF-200 solid state amp as well as a Pr...emiere Four tube amp with great results.
One curiosity with CJ FET preamps is that there is no power button / switch. They are designed to be plugged in and left on at all times.
