Description :
The Conrad Johnson PV-1 preamplifier introduced in 1977 by Bill Conrad and Lew Johnson. The original PV1 literature noted the use of "metal film resistors and polyester and silvered mica capacitors". Critics of the day regarded the PV1 to be one of the best sounding preamps at that time, particularly noting its natural reproduction of musical harmonics. Built on a rugged chassis with a robust power supply, a great many PV1’s are still in use today!
