What else to know about the Conrad-Johnson Premier 3?

"I cannot tell you whether my love affair with tubes as the ne plus ultra in high end will last through the next year or the next issue. I have recently found the Krell solid-state equipment to be particularly impressive, and there is one hell of a band of designers trying to make tubes truly obsolete. I must say that I would not buy tube equipment if I didn't trust my dealer, as it is more trouble-prone than solid-state and you will need help and support. Both the Audio Research and Conrad-Johnson electronics are, however, what the High End is all about. They are part of that elite group of equipment which leads the way towards filling the awkward gap between live performances and reproduced sound, and which allows you to explore nearly 100 years of recorded sound to its best potential. They, like virtually all high-end equipment, are luxuries and not cost-effective investments. While some of the best things in life may be free, none of them are cost-effective." - Stereophile, Cordesman
