PV6 Vacuum Tube Pre-Amplifier

Introduced in February 1984

The PV6 was a refinement of the earlier PV2ar design with improved resistor and capacitor selections. The PV6 used upgraded precision low noise resistors and polypropylene capacitors. The result was superior definition and depth of imaging. The phono section was noticeably quieter than earlier designs.

Features:

Inputs/Outputs — Phono, Tuner, Auxiliary, monitor and recording facilities for two tape decks with dubbing from Tape 1 to Tape 2. Two power amplifier (Main) outputs.

Controls:

Selector, Source/Monitor, Mode (Reverse, Stereo, Mono), Balance, Volume, & Power.

Auto-muting to suppress warm up transients.
