I purchased this last September, and have greatly enjoyed its superb sound quality. I’m selling because I lost my listening room and am having to replace a dozen pieces with three or four. (This is painful.) I used it lightly (200 hours or so) due to family issues.
One of the greatest values ever to be offered by Conrad Johnson, it is in excellent condition, from a child, pet and smoke free home. The front, back and top are perfect, the sides are fine, but have a few marks along the top edges. Nothing that is visible from more than a foot or two away.
The price is pretty firm, as these don’t change hands often. I’m including a brand new matched pair of rare Mullard tubes with the sale. Two nearly new Mullard tubes are in the preamp now.
Reviewers and owners love this preamp. For the money, there is simply nothing that is close to this for value, not even at two to three times the price. About a year ago it received a complete checkup from Conrad Johnson. See the information from the original owner below.
"A Conrad Johnson Classic 1 SE preamp. This little guy, in SE configuration, is as good as an ET-3 in basic version: I've owned both, at the same time and heard them side by side. Teflon capacitors make a significant difference in sound. Powered by Mullard 8080s, the Classic has all the hallmarks of the CJ sound: beautiful sensuous sound, mid-hall perspective, with great imaging, and fantastic tonal qualities, warmth and great bass and rhythmic timing. Just back from Conrad Johnson 2 days ago for a checkup before placing this ad."
I’ll ship it in it’s original CJ box. Thanks for looking.
