Conrad Johnson pf-r

I don't think this is necessarily a problem. I used to own a CJ PF-2L and I believe the light would stay on (although there was no power switch). I think that this was a very common thing in their solid state line and they really focused on true on/off for their tube based equipment. I currently have a CJ PV-12 and CJ Evolution 2000 amp and there the lights are off when the units are powered down (but these are tube based).

I have some pictures here if interested.

Thanks !, That was my feelings but just wanted a second opinion. nice pre-amp, well made and super quiet.

Yes. I had a PF-2L back in the day and no on/off switch. With solid state best to leave them on.
