Repair or mod CJ PV-12?

Any item with the CJ name, or any other name, on the face plate, reflects on that company. Why would they trust the skills of anyone that requests a repair part. Because once you screw it up, it's still a CJ pre-amp. Esp considering you may then sell it to someone else. Good way to lose your reputation.

The safest bet is to stick with the so-called lo-fi stuff. It never breaks.

Of course, there is always the chance it ain't the transformer, or at least, not only the transformer. :) Your USAF skills notwithsdtanding.

BTW, recently got the Oppo 103. The only disc player you will ever need. Watched 'GRAVITY' last night. The best special effects ever!

Detredwings, all the people who can not hold a soldering iron or read a schematic think everyone else is so afflicted, consequently we have to overlook and at the same time understand the basis for their inability to comprehend what we have presented.

big fan of CJ gear here, keep us posted about your decision on this piece. I will be interested if you allow CJ to do the repair or send it to Bill Thallman or another modder.

Happy Listening!

What is you lived in Alaska or Hawaii and we were talking about a 75 lb amp? It's out of warranty. Any repair station should be able to call and buy a part. Most parts can simply be bought from part suppliers. Transformers usually not. So because that part failed now you get screwed?

That my friend is what is wrong in high end audio. There is not ONE valid reason they can give for their behavior.
