Conrad Johnson PV-10L & PV-10A which one better?

The CJ PV-10A is discontinued and the PV-10B took its place. I don not know the specific differences other than I believe it utilizes a different tube and contains some circuit upgrades.

The "L" designation specifies "Line Stage" and does not contain a phono section. If you want the phono section and I believe that is what you are asking then you want the non "L" version which is the PV-10B.

The AL is a good model. Smooth, musical tone, great vlaue for the price. I recently upgraded to a Prem14 and I have a PV10AL available for a good deal. If you interested please feel free to email me.

Neither, the PV-10 is a slow sounding preamp that lacks the frequency extremes, overall I was bored with it. Try the AL 3-A preamp.

Happy Listening.
