Thinning out my tube preamps. Ready to sell my Conrad Johnson PV-8 all tube preamp. Switched to solid state and balanced preamp from PS Audio, so the PV-8 is up for grabs. Great sounding, lots of tubes, great company. Check my eBay feedback under kkinnon. I may have original box but not sure. Lots of info available on line on this great preamp.
Here's a partial overview: http://www.audioreview.com/product/amplification/preamplifiers/conrad-johnson/pv8.html
"The phono stage consists of a gain block, a passive RIAA network, and a second gain block. The line stage consists of a single gain block. These stages use polypropylene capacitors bypassed by a polystyrene capacitor for the output stages. Even the main dc power supplies used polypropylene capacitors – there are no electrolytic capacitors in the audio circuits or their related power supplies. Paralleled triode sections at the phono input yield nearly 3 dB improvements in the signal to noise ratio over a single input tube (as used in the earlier PV5)."
Questions for the seller |
|---|
| What brand of tubes are currently installed and approximately how many hours of use for each of them? Has the unit been serviced, and if so, what was performed and by who? Any known issues at this time regarding hum, noise, functionality? Thanks! Dan Hi Dan, I've had the PV-8 for probably 10-12 years and used it on and off during that period. I don't recall ever changing the tubes and I don't know how many hours are on them unfortunately.
It was serviced probably 5-6 years ago by our local stereo shop...mainly cleaning contacts and checking specs.
It sounds great but I've switched to PS Audio gear. Just bought their new Pre/DAC combo so I'm selling a couple of Mytek pro DACs as well. Thanks for your interest in my PV-8. |
