Description :
The 17LS2 was launched in November 2003. It uses new 2.0μF Teflon capacitors which are better at resolving detail and preserve spatial information, but cost something like three times as much as the polystyrene caps used in the original Premier 17LS. The Premier 17LS2, Conrad-Johnson improved the power supply that increases the signal/noise ratio. Less noise means greater dynamic range. The 17LS2's circuit is of a single-ended class-A triode circuit design. As a result, you get a zero-feedback circuit. One of the things that feedback does for you is diminish the dependence of the circuit on each of the parts in the circuit. The 17LS2 has the ability to pass along fine variations in dynamics. It is about the "microdynamics". It's subtle, but, along with spatial resolution, it's one of the things that can make reproduced music almost literally come alive.
