Conrad Johnson Evolution 20 SE Preamplifier Pre Amp, Near perfect condition.

Description

Highly regarded, and very rare vintage Conrad Johnson Evolution 20SE Preamplifier in superb condition.
This is the later, and improved Special Edition (SE) version.  This pre amp has a wonderful phono stage with a very quiet noise floor.  I sent it to CJ for a refresh in 2015 where they replaced four tubes and gave it whatever it needed to be back up to factory specifications.  It operates as new, and sounds lovely.  All operations perform perfectly fine.  The facia is without fault, no dings and the lettering is perfect.  The rest is in like new condition as well.  No smoke, pets, kids, etc.  I have the original literature, the original manual, and the receipt from CJ for the work provided.  I will ship in the original double box from Conrad Johnson.
Built like a battleship, the EV20’s superior external construction and quality feel of controls are immediately apparent. The famous “cjd” capacitors and high-precision laser trimmed metal-foil resistors are used throughout. The volume control is a 23-position switch selecting among 23 pairs of resistors ­ never more than a single-pair of resistors are inserted in the signal path by this control. The balance control is an 11 position switch that is electrically out of the circuit in the centered position.
The EV20 had outstanding dynamic range and extended low bass along with the depth and spatial characteristics for which conrad-johnson is noted, making the EV20 one of the finest preamps available at the time.

Regarding the eBay "sales tax".  I cannot remove the charge sales tax part of my auction. I do not know why.... There isn't a way you, as a buyer, should pay sales tax.  I am not a dealer, and just a person.  If the tax is included, as I think it will be upon your checkout, don't worry, I will send you a check for that amount.  I did that on my last sale and buyer was pleased.
