About the CAV-60
The Conrad-Johnson CAV-60 is a vacuum-tube stereo control amplifier that the manufacturer describes as a minimalist alternative to a conventional integrated amplifier. It uses a very simple front panel layout, omits remote and balance controls, and provides two RCA line inputs. Its audio circuit is based on the Classic Sixty-Two, using three 6922 double-triodes for voltage gain and phase splitting plus two pairs of EL34 output tubes operating in ultralinear mode. The result is a 60 W per channel design intended to preserve the immediacy, dynamics, and tonal naturalness associated with high-quality tube amplification.
