CJ PV12 AL verses CJ PV12 L


Is there a difference between a Conrad Johnson PV 12AL and a CJ PV 12L preamp. I have seen personal reviews referring to their PV12's in both ways and assume they are the same. I am about to buy a PV12 and any clarification would be appreciated.

The PV-12L (c. 1993) is the line stage version of the PV-12. In 1997, these were upgraded to the PV-12A and AL models. The upgrades involved improved volume control circuits and a new biasing circuit for the input amplifier of the line stage to eliminate local feedback from the voltage amplifier.
