Modified vintage CJ preamp vs. new one

KeEp the upgraded CJ Pre. 
  Use her for many years to come.  Enjoy he music. 
   Ou would make a sidestep and be out of unite a lot of money.

 Save $, new cables. 
 The PV pres’ were great   
 Keep your upgraded preamp!

 Probably not even broken yet, those Teflon caps take hundreds.  Of hours to fully break in.

  

Absolutely.
Once broken in, the sound is magnificent!

Hi rvpiano--
Your PV11 only has Teflon caps in the power supply. There is no physical room in the preamp for Teflon caps or Vishay resistors in the audio circuit.  The ET6SE, has better quality RCA jacks, Teflon caps in both the audio circuit and power supply, and Vishay resistors through out will sound cleaner, more dynamic, more detailed, and more neutral. Hence, more musical and maybe even a tad warmer. If your ears want that great of a change then go for it. Would be happy to speak off line.

Cellorover,

Thanks for the info.
Right now, since the caps broke in, I’m very happy with the sound I’m getting.

BTW,  Are you a cellist?  I was a classical pianist.

Glad to share my insights. My daughter plays cello and bassoon. I listen, hear, and enjoy. I used to restore old Rover sedans and Land Rovers. Hence, the hybrid name.
