About the PV12
The Conrad Johnson PV-12 is a high-end stereo preamplifier that offers a warm, neutral sound with excellent dynamics and clarity. It features zero feedback circuits and passive equalization in its phono stage, though some versions like the PV-12AL do not include a phono section. The PV-12 provides multiple inputs, including phono, tuner, auxiliary, and facilities for two tape decks. It also includes a balance control with an eleven-step switch using discrete resistors. The preamplifier is known for its phase-inverting design and lack of unnecessary features, focusing on sound quality instead.
