Guy Landau Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Classic CJ preamp with a killer phono section. Fully rebuilt power supply from original CJ parts. New tubes. Asking $650 + shipping. Thanks Info from CJ's website: The PV5 was a completely new preamp in all areas. The sophisticated circuitry allowed the PV5 to outperform preamps nearly three times it price. The PV5 was the personal choice as a reference preamp for many audio reviewers at the time! Low noise mil-spec resistors and polypropylene capacitors were used throughout the PV5 and the famous "CJD" polystyrene capacitors were used throughout the signal path. Their wide bandwidth and low sonic "memory" permitted precise attack and decay of musical transients. RIAA phono equalization was set with 1% tolerance parts. Eight factory burned-in vacuum tubes were used in the PV5. Features: Inputs/Outputs - Phono, Tuner, Auxiliary, and Tape1 and Tape2 recorder inputs with monitor and recording facilities, two Main outputs. Controls: Selector, Tape 1/Tape 2, Source/Monitor, Mode (Stereo/Reverse/Mono/Left/Right), Balance, Power, Volume. Auto-muting to suppress warm up transients. V1 & V2: 12AX7 V3, V5, V6, & V7: 5751 V4 & V8: 5965 Replacement Tube Set RT5 Specifications: Gain: Phono Stage 41.5 dB (phono overload 500 mV at 1kHz) Line Stage 28.5 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 72 dB below 10 mv input Line Stage 84 dB below 2.5 volt output Phase Response: Line Stage phase correct, Phono Stage phase correct Mechanical: 16" X 3" x 10" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middlecreekguy Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 The PV-5 has that classic CJ sound. That`s what I gathered from all the research I did while shopping for a front end for my Rogue. Someone just got a sweet pre-amp for a very fair price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
