CONRAD JOHNSON PV-2 VACUUM TUBE PREAMP WITH PHONO STAGE - [SOLD]
At my asking price, I will include a full second set of tubes (all vintage and tested).Some trade may be possible (see below).
I am continuing to clean out some equipment, so I have this highly regarded unit for sale.
This is a classic Conrad Johnson piece that is considered one of their better-performing preamps. This does include a phono input.
Further details can be found on the Conrad Johnson website.
The tubes currently installed by position are as follows:
V1 Tung Sol (new production) 12AX7
V2 Philips ECG (Sylvania) JAN-5751
V3 Mullard 12AT7 (date code R9B)
V4 Sylvania JAN-12AT7WC
V5 Philips ECG (Sylvania) JAN-5751
V6 Mullard 12AT7 (date code R9B)
These tubes have been checked on an Amplitrex AT-1000, and all pass test (but are used).
Other options may be available, or additional tubes can be provided at an upcharge.
I have a pdf copy of the manual.
No other accessories are provided.
Physically the unit is clearly not perfect but very presentable. There is a small nick and a couple of small scratches on the left edge of the faceplate, a scratch on the main volume knob and a couple of small scratches in the paint on the top cover. I have tried to show the worst items in the photos, and they look worse on the photos than in person.
Operationally the unit appears to be in excellent shape, but I have not tested all inputs (I do not have a turntable).
In the pictures I have the top cover loose, but it will be secured with all screws for shipping.
Additional pictures or information can be provided on request.
I also have a pair of Radio Craftsman RC-2 PP 6V6 monoblocks I may consider selling for about the same price, so if interested in those feel free to drop me a note. The two together would make a really nice combo.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONSPlease note that this unit are being sold
“AS IS, WHERE IS”. THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES OF ANY TYPE, AND THERE ARE NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS.
Payment can be via money order/cashier's check/personal check but, except for US Postal Money Orders, all must clear my bank first. Cash is OK for a local transaction.
I also accept Paypal for convenience (but add 3% to the total for US, and 4% elsewhere). IF YOU PAY VIA PAYPAL, HOWEVER, A CONDITION OF YOUR PAYMENT IS THAT YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE A PAYPAL CLAIM OR CHARGE BACK (but do retain the right to sue me in court should you so desire).
Shipping will be at the buyer’s expense. I prefer either FedEX Ground or USPS Priority Mail, but that is up to the buyer. Insurance for full value is recommended, as I am not responsible for any damage in shipping or non-delivery (but will assist in processing any legitimate claim).
I might consider some trade at the right value. I do not really need anything, but 805 (vintage), KT66 (new production or vintage), interesting 6SN7s and 12AT7s, and other vacuum tubes may be of interest. A reasonably priced 845 or 211 amp is also of interest, and I have other things I can include in a trade. Other things may catch my attention as well (especially at the right value), and it does not hurt to ask.
Please check my feedback on Ebay (ID=baileyler) and buy with confidence.
