Introduced August 1984
The Premiere Five vacuum-tube power amplifier was similar in design to the Premier Four, but was a mono amplifier using eight EL34 output tubes to produce 200 watts. Like the Premier Four, it featured extensive use of conrad-johnson's proprietary CJD polystyrene capacitors throughout the audio circuit and in the regulated power supplies for the voltage amplification stages.
The Premiere Five was noted for its delivery of high-power into complex loads while maintaining a holographic three-dimensional soundstage. Highs were unmatched in being delicate and extended.
