About the PV12AL
The Conrad Johnson PV-12AL is a line stage version of the PV-12 preamplifier, omitting the phono section. It features zero feedback circuits and uses laser-trimmed metal foil resistors for extremely low noise and low inductance. The balance control is an eleven-step switch with discrete resistors. It offers a smooth, uncolored, undistorted natural and clean sound. The unit includes multiple inputs such as tuner, auxiliary, monitor and recording facilities for two tape decks, and one main output. Controls include source selector, record out selector, balance, volume, and power. The PV-12AL is known for its warm neutral sound without exaggerated coloration, providing excellent dynamics and clarity. It is well maintained and tested for perfect working condition.
