michaelwjones Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 A classic tube pre: the Conrad Johnson PV-2AR pre-amp. Originally a PV-2, this particular unit was upgraded to the PV-2AR. It was also rebuilt at the CJ factory with a brand new power supply and tube set of NOS GE and JAN Philips. It has only been used about 25 hours since that service. Works like a charm and sounds great. The tubed phono section while quiet, is not silent. After all, it is 40 years old and has three tubes. A bargain entry into the famed Conrad Johnson sound. Rated as very good condition as noted by the clean front panel as shown in pictures. Even so, I’ll conservatively rate it a 7 due to age. An old, but functioning tube set is also included. Comes with original CJ box, packaging, and documentation included. From CJ website: Inputs/Outputs: 2 Phonos Tuner Auxiliary Monitor and recording facilities for two tape decks Two power amplifier (main) outputs Specifications: Gain: Phono Stage 34.5 dB (phono overload 500 mV at 1kHz) Line Stage 24.5 dB Distortion: less than .05% THD or IMD Response: bandpass 2Hz to more than 100kHz RIAA Equalization: +/- .25 dB (20 to 20 kHz) S/N Ratio: Phono Stage 70 dB below 10 mv input Line Stage 84 dB below 2.5 volt output Phase: Phono Stage is phase correct, Line Stage is phase correct Mechanical: 14″ X 3 13/16″ x 10″ $875 including shipping in the lower 48. Please email any questions. Thanks. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwjones Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 I was stunned as well, but for being 40 years old, it looks & plays as new. Thanks to all. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
