Description :
The Conrad Johnson PV5 was a completely new preamp in all areas. The sophisticated circuitry allowed the PV5 to outperform preamps nearly three times it price. The PV5 was the personal choice as a reference preamp for many audio reviewers at the time! It is considered the best Conrad Johnson preamp of all the PV series. Low noise mil-spec resistors and polypropylene capacitors were used throughout the PV5 and the famous "CJD" polystyrene capacitors were used throughout the signal path. Their wide bandwidth and low sonic "memory" permitted precise attack and decay of musical transients. RIAA phono equalization was set with 1% tolerance parts.
