Selling my trusty Conrad Johnson PV14LS2 (Series 2) preamp with extras...
Excellent musical pre with HT bypass. Faceplate and chassis of unit have no visible scratches and looks great. I have seen plastic remotes with these pre's before but this one has the nice sturdy metal remote (there is one nick in the metal on the bottom edge of the remote).
I have the operators manual but do not have the box. Although I will pack very very well from 46220, and can let you know how I plan to do so...
This pre also comes with two sets of extra tubes, tested perfect and straight from the CJ factory. Essentially TUBES FOR LIFE!
At my asking price of $1350. + shipping and PP fee, I will include a Kaplan HE power cord ($379 new)
From the CJ website:
The PV14L is a remote-controlled zero-feedback vacuum-tube line-stage preamplifier with seven inputs that was designed to serve as the control center for high-performance audio and audio/video systems. The PV14L featured a level control derived from technology developed for our Premier products. It employed a microprocessor controlled stepped attenuator with discrete resistors, which offers considerable sonic advantages over the motorized carbon track potentiometers more commonly used. This arrangement also allowed the PV14L to produce precisely repeatable volume settings.
The PV14L included a Theater input/output loop much the same as was introduced in the Premier16, which provides a locked unity gain setting, made it the ideal component to integrate home theater into their stereos without compromising the performance of their primary music system.
The PV14L incorporated an all-new zero-feedback circuit based on a single stage triode amplifier using a 6C4 miniature vacuum tube. A direct coupled buffer stage provided a low output impedance.
