Beschreibung

One of the finest reference amplification systems Conrad-Johnson ever produced — offered for the first time after two decades in private storage.

This matched stack — Premier 7B line preamplifier and Premier 8A 275W monoblocks — formed the centrepiece of a reference system curated by Franc Kuzma, founder of Kuzma Audio and one of Europe's most respected turntable designers. Kept in dry, climate-controlled storage for ~20 years, both units have recently completed a controlled 48-hour reactivation and stabilization protocol.


Technical Condition:

  • Capacitors: Power supply capacitors successfully re-formed and stable under high-current load.

  • Output: Verified symmetrical audio output into 6-ohm and 4-ohm loads. Both monoblocks track perfectly at high volumes with zero drift at thermal equilibrium.

  • Bias & Protection: All circuits fully responsive. Late-production 8A spec with integrated fault-sensing and transformer protection.

  • Known issue: One indicator LED on the left monoblock is dormant. The associated tube is fully functional and sonically matched. Cosmetic only.


Technical Highlights:

  • 275W per monoblock — late-production Premier 8A specification.

  • Dual-monaural Premier 7B: Four fully independent chassis — two signal stages and two separate power supplies — for zero crosstalk and maximum soundstage depth.

  • Electrostatic-capable: Verified stable into low-impedance dips (Sound-Lab, Martin Logan).

  • Regulated power supplies in all stages — low noise floor even with high-sensitivity speakers.

  • Export spec: Factory-tuned for 240V / 50Hz.


Tubes:

  • Main set: Matched NOS 6550A tubes installed new in 2004 prior to storage. Practically zero hours aside from recent testing. Bias stable.

  • Archival spare set: Original 1990s factory GE 6550A tubes, low-to-medium hours — included as a verified provenance backup.


Cosmetics: Champagne-gold anodized faceplates, excellent/near-mint. No pitting or oxidation.

Included: Premier 7B (dual-chassis), two Premier 8A monoblocks, matched NOS tube set (installed), GE factory spare set, bill of sale. Original boxes not available.


Logistics:
Ljubljana, Slovenia. ~110kg total (preamp ~15kg, each monoblock ~45kg). Palletized EU freight available at buyer's expense (~€200–400). Local pickup strongly recommended — live demonstration by appointment.

Serious buyers: Live inspection via Discord, YouTube or Twitch available before committing. Bill of sale provided. Price negotiable (within reason).


SYSTEM SYNERGY: Also available from the same Kuzma collection: the ultra-rare Expressive Technologies SU-1 MC Step-Up Transformer. See my other listings.
