from Audiogon Summary:
Having owned a Bottlehead Foreplay 2 for about a year, I was interested in trying something different (upgrade fever you know). I was planning on getting something with a HT bypass and remote control and then I saw this on Audiogon and thought I'd give it a try.
I was afraid this might be a lateral move but after listening to it for a few months I am happy I made the purchase.
The PV10BL gives a much more three dimensional sound than the Foreplay. Doing A/B comparisons, the CJ seems more liquid and the bass is more "there". I still have the Foreplay as a backup but the CJ has become the main act. I am using it with an Aragon 2004 MkII, Magnepan MG12s and original Rega Planet.
I know there are better tube preamps out there, but for the money I think this is a lot of bang for the buck.

Liquid three dimensional sound Weaknesses:
