Announcing the conrad-johnson CA-45 control amplifier ....

[joeinid]

We are pleased to announce the new conrad-johnson CAV45 control amplifier, designed to satisfy the needs of those seeking a high-quality vacuum-tube integrated amplifier.

Unlike a typical integrated amplifier, a control amplifier eliminates the preamplifier stage altogether, thereby eliminating its inherent distortions, at the same time preserving the integrated amplifier’s performance advantage of avoiding interconnect cables between control section and power amplifier as well as the cost advantage of consolidating these functions in a single chassis.
​

The CAV45 employs a pair of classic EL34s in each channel to produce 45 Watts per channel. As with all conrad-johnson tube amplifiers, output tube biasing is simplified by the use of our built-in bias circuit. The CAV45 accepts three line-level inputs. Exceptional parts quality is the rule at conrad-johnson, and to this, the CAV45 is no exception.

Seems close to the Jadis DA30 design but I am sure that it will sound better.
Great look too.

Thanks Joe!

I have to admit, I love to see new CJ products...but just now when I jumped over to their site to check out the CA-45, I was equally happy with their new Web Site. Finally, Finally, Finally they've improved their site.

It surprised the heck out of me when I saw the new website. I agree, finally, some updates.

I'd love to hear this new little amp. I love EL34's.
