The Conrad Johnson Twelve Tube monoblock amplifier is one of the company's premier products and to hear your tunes in stero you'll need two, so what do you get for your seven thousand dollars?

The design of the Twelve tube is certainly stylish with a cool brushed brass finish, and some straight forward circuitry. The Twelve tube also has a large output transformer and with a quick look in the CJ info you'll find that this gives you a wide bandwidth with high phase linearity. All in all, nothing too unusual. It's clear that the Popularity of this amp comes from it's performance rather than design.

So what of the performance? Well this Conrad Johnson overall sound is very rich and open with a lush transparency, excellent mids and a deep punch like bass and an excellence at high frequencies. It completes the transitions between frequency extremes perfectly through the mid and upper ranges, which are often very difficult.
