Congratulations on your purchase of the conrad-johnson model PV11
vacuum tube preamplifier. In it, you have acquired one of the finest
pieces of music reproduction equipment available today. It is the result
of more than a decade of research by conrad-johnson design into the
application of vacuum tube devices to the reproduction of recorded
music.
The PV11 was designed to provide audiophiles with a reference quality
preamplifier capable of accurately reproducing the dynamics, tonalities
and textures of a live musical performance. The design and materials
have been carefully selected to yield years of unvarying excellence.
The PV11 is available as a complete phono-preamplifier and control unit
or as the PV11L line stage preamplifier/control unit only.
Please take a few minutes to read this manual so that you will better
understand the features and capabilities of your PV11. NOTE THAT
THE PV11 LINE STAGE IS PHASE INVERTING. See the section
entitled "Getting the most from your PV11" for details on correct hookup
to your system.
