The Conrad Johnson Premier 350 is CJ's first solid state amplifier in their premier line, and produces a full 350 watts per channel! Now it is an elegantly styled amplifier with gold brushed aluminium but as with many Conrad Johnson amplifiers there is nothing that really stands out about it, although pleasantly it does have a detachable power cord.
The front panel has a smallish LED that's red and lights up when you power the amplifier up. The rear of the Conrad Johnson 350 has a set of gold plated binding posts and input connectors (five way) . The information from Conrad Johnson says it uses a hybrid solid state circuit and a whole lot of other features relating to its performance but it?s not just bragging the Conrad Johnson Premier 350 really does deliver.
It's difficult to talk about the 350 without referring to clich's, but it has a fantastic transparent sound, it leaves the music in a completely neutral state neither enhancing or taking away from it. Conrad Johnson also gives "zero feedback" which they mange with a unique auto-linear gain block which is for the voltage gain stage, this gives you low distortion which is achieved from the symmetrical distortion properties of p and n FETs channels.
The CJ 350 has loads of features and excellent accuracy with beautiful extended highs and transitions perfecly into deep baslines.
You'll fall in love with this amplifier for the same reasons you got into audio in the first place - just for the joy of music. It's a real tough cookie as well, which means you've got that reliabilty that is essential for an amplifier of this level. It will also get the best out of any system it's put into, which at the end of the day is what everybody is looking for.
You'll find that the web is the best place to find some really good prices on Conrad Johnson Amplifiers, for both new and used ones with many of the new amplifiers at prices much less than retail.
