Time for a Conrad Johnson statement solid state amplifier ...

[joeinid]

Based on my limited experience with my little CA200 and other CJ gear I want them to make an updated Premier 350. I would give them a deposit and keep my fingers crossed. Can we start a list/petition and let them see it.

I'm in.

For the petition, at least.

Joe, here is your statement.

cj have enough parts to make several pairs. I asked Lew a few years back.

From memory they never released this due to the high cost at the time - I guess they never received enough orders at the CES in 2003 from their distributors.

conrad-johnson GAT Amplifier ($38,000) is the company's first venture into 300B tube amplification. This is the only 300B amplifier that outputs 1,000 watts (not a typo). A low ratio transformer is coupled to a push-pull buffer. This keeps the voltage gain characteristics of a 300B but the current gain of the output buffer stage.

Personally I would luv a pair of these monoblocks - go superb with the GAT pre amp.

perhaps we should ask, how much to build two sets to get rid of their inventory?

Wow! Look at that thing, beautiful. I guess the closest amp we will get will be an ET250S, huh.

Man, C-J did some wild sh*t I wasn't even aware of...guess they are always thinking of various designs.

I think Joe wants a SS amp, though.

i wouldn't mind a Premier 180 SS amp, personally. With my 4 ohm speakers, that would give me 360 Wpc.

I'd take that too, in a heartbeat. I don't need a lot of power. I just want the premium parts, teflon caps, etc.

And that C-J magic most of all!

I think that goes without saying.
