CES 2012 Coverage

January 15, 2012
The Conrad-Johnson and Neat Acoustics Room

Neat Acoustics spotlighted their Ultimatum XL10 loudspeakers (£15,245/pair) with Conrad-Johnson components, including Conrad-Johnson’s new 140 watt/channel ARTsa stereo amplifier ($18,500) shown here in an ART monoblock chassis pending delivery of the new casework. The new Conrad Johnson ET5 preamp ($9500) controlled volume and source selection.

 

Files were played back on a Shuttle computer through the recently introduced Conrad-Johnson HD3 USB DAC ($3000).

 

Conrad Johnson had many of its other products on display. I can’t say I’m too keen on their design aesthetics, but it hard to argue with the sound they produce. Let’s begin with the GAT preamplifier ($20,000) and ART monoblocks ($35,000/pair).

 

The LP125M monoblock amplifier ($9500/pair).

Finally, at the entry level, the Classic 60 stereo amplifier ($3000) and ET3 preamplifier ($2500).
