Compact Performer<br />
The Conrad-Johnson<br />
CA150 SE<br />
By Jeff Zaret<br />
Conrad-Johnson has been around for decades now,<br />
and they have received major acclaim for their<br />
products. While most of it has been for their vacuum<br />
tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, their solid-state<br />
components have been equally good. They have always exhibited a<br />
consistency in care, design and implementation and it’s not unusual<br />
to find 30-year-old C-J components that are still running strong. As<br />
an owner of several pieces of Conrad-Johnson gear I can personally<br />
attest to the quality, ruggedness and simple elegance, which have not<br />
varied over the years. Every company does evolve with improvements<br />
and enhancements. Whether you dig the champagne-colored front<br />
panels or not is a personal matter, but Lew and Bill aren’t going to<br />
change that part of their heritage.<br />
