Say Pat, aside from the Conrad-Johnson PV-5, do you have any experience with the PV-7, 10 or 11? I'm looking at either a PV-7 or newer PV-11.
Any thought? I don't really care about a phono section. Haven't spun vinyl in over 20 years.
Thanks,
Jay
P.S. Nice work on the Marantz 2245. I still wish you had done a 2270, though... my personal favorite mid-70s receiver. I do like the Model 18/19, but mostly fot the great tuner sections (models 20 & 20B). To e, the 2245/2270 are still the best over value in vintage stereo... although, the 2250 sure is a sleeper, and can be had for less than the cost of a clean 2230... go figure.
