Fantastic sounding Conrad Johnson line stage preamp with some NOS 1958 Sylvania 12AU7 PLATINUM GRADE tubes just installed. Preamp is in 8/10 condition and like Conrad Johnson says - it just sounds right! These do not come up for sale often....so do not hesitate. I have owned both regular and line stage versions of this preamp and I give the edge to the line stage version sound purity wise.

Information:
Successor to the PV8, the PV11 advanced the conrad-johnson zero feedback approach to elicit the ultimate in dynamic contrasts and spatial information. An improved line stage circuit, incorporating two 12AU7s was introduced in the PV11. Like the PV8, the PV11 features the exclusive use of polypropylene and polystyrene capacitors throughout the audio circuits and related power supplies — no electrolytics are used, even in the main power supply input filter.
The PV11L is a line stage version of the PV11 (without phono stage).
