SOLD! - conrad johnson premier 17LS preamp

Post by pstrisik »

SOLD!

Conrad-Johnson Premier 17LS Vacuum-Tube Line Stage Preamplifier

Original MSRP $4600 with tubes. Condition is excellent, 9/10. Cared for very well with no dings
or marks other than very fine signs of normal use, if that. Approximately 1000 hours on the
preamp. Lower hours on the two sets of included tubes. Original metal remote, manual, shipping box.
Will be shipped double boxed to protect the original factory box.

If you are not already hunting for this particular model, read some of the reviews below. It is one the
most sought after C-J models and is in a price sweet spot for the greatest bang for your buck.

$2250 plus shipping. I'll be glad to take money order, bank transfer, direct deposit, personal check,
paypal. All but direct deposit and paypal will require time for clearing. Paypal fees the buyer's responsibility.

You will not find a pre-owned Pr17LS in better condition. Includes factory tubes with low hours and a set of
EH Gold Pins, an upgraded tube. It takes four 6922 tubes with many options for tube rolling if desired.

That's an excellent preamp, Peter. I owned one and was very pleased with it's sound. A classic c-j piece of engineering.
