Coad Johnson Premier 1-b Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier Picture(s) and Description:

Conrad Johnson Premier One-b Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier This auction is for a very rare and collectible Conrad Johnson Premier One-b Vacuum Tube Power Amplifier. It has excellent sound and is in beautiful condition. Said to be the best sounding tube amplifier when it was introduced. It is very well made and heavy (135lbs). It is still supported by the great people at Conrad Johnson (www.conradjohnson.com). All tubes have been tested and are in excellent shape. The Premier One was the first of a line of state-of-the-art contenders to carry the conrad-johnson Premier badge. Uncommonly powerful for a tube amplifier at 200 watts per channel, the Premier One was identified by one leading audiophile publication as the best sounding power amplifier ever made to that time. Introduced September 1986. An enormous power supply with massive computer-grade electrolytic capacitance totaling 4000 micro-farads at more than 500 volts delivered startling deep and controlled bass response not achieved by any other vacuum tube power amp. Ultra linear operation of the 6550 output stage offered an excellent combination of high power and low distortion. Complex loads were a breeze and hard to handle electrostatics speakers presented no problem to the Premier One. Despite its brute power, the Premier One remained very delicate at the highest frequencies yielding extended high frequency response uncommon in vacuum tube designs and with a remarkably three dimensional soundstage. Premier Ones are sought after and highly prized by both collectors and audiophiles even today. Features: 4, 8, 16 ohm speaker taps (screw type), one pair of inputs, two plate fuses, power switch, built in bias indicators.
