Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz, +0, -.5dB.Power: 200 watts per channel into 4, 8, or 16ohms with no more than 1% THD and IM Distortion, both channels driven from 30 Hz to 15 kHz.Premier Ones are sought after and highly prized by both collectors and audiophiles even today. Complex loads were a breeze and hard to handle electrostatics speakers presented no problem to the Premier One.ĭespite its brute power, the Premier One remained very delicate at the highest frequencies yielding extended high frequency response uncommon in vacuum tube designs and with a remarkably three dimensional soundstage. Ultralinear operation of the 6550 output stage offered an excellent combination of high power and low distortion. Uncommonly powerful for a tube amplifier at 200 watts per channel, the Premier One was identified by one leading audiophile publication as the best sounding power amplifier ever made to that time.Īn enormous power supply with massive computer-grade electrolytic capacitance totaling 4000 micro-farads at more than 500 volts delivered startling deep and controlled bass response not achieved by any other vacuum tube power amp. The Premier One was the first of a line of state-of-the-art contenders to carry the conrad-johnson Premier badge. Introduced: December, 1981 | Premier One-b: September, 1986
