Conrad Johnson PV 11 Preamp

[AllenLowe]

this is a very high end tube pre-amp that can be used for phono stage, tape, cd, or a number of line-in functions.

it sounds absolutely great; I'm just divesting a bit in anticipation of getting the hell out of here in a few years.

I have had it for a number of years, though it got very little use the last few years; it was, however, checked out by my tube amp guy at that time who went through it and made adjustments as needed; I also put in a number of NOS tubes at the time.

these go for lotsa cash elswhere, but I am seliing it for $500 plus insured shipping (only to the USA) - however there is just one piece of

BAD NEWS: but it's not that bad. When I retubed it 2 years ago, I misplaced the screws. I will attempt this week to find replacements, though this does not effect, of course, the functioning of the unit; but I will ship it after tightening it up with whatever replacement screws I can find (trip to the hardware store tomorrow). I cannot promise they will be exact fits, but you may be able to do better than I in that respect, and at this price I don't think it's a big issue. As a matter of fact, you will not find any thing of this quality at this price elsewhere, I think.
