Introduced PF2L October 1993, PF2 December 1993
The PF2 superseded the PF1. The line stage circuits were virtually identical. The PF2 offered an improved phono circuit, with selectable gain settings (40,46, and 52 dB). This made the PF2 better suited for use with low output moving coil cartridges. The PF2 maintained the exceptional parts quality standards of the PF1. Capacitors were polypropylene and cjd polystyrene including the power supply filter caps. All resistors were 1% metal-oxide deposited on glass construction. Input/output connectors were upgraded from those found in the PF1. Noted for the lucidity and harmonic balance of the cj vacuum-tube preamps, the PF2 refined the achievements of the PF-1 with the superb definition and detail of transistor designs.
