Conrad Johnson PV-10 vs. PV-11

Which one of these preamps is considered "better" for 2 channel use. I see they are similarily priced on the used market. Thanks.

Best I can give, not having heard the PV-10, is that the PV-10's come up here fairly regularly, the PV-11 by comparison is a rarity.

New price for a PV10 was $995. New price for a PV11 was $1895. These preamps are about 20 years old now and may be due for service.
