I owned an MV50 many years ago. Ran it with Rodgers LS3/5A's and Vandersteen 2Ci's. Their used to be an upgrade by the facory, to an MV52 which entails replacing the power supply capacitors will all polypropylene capacitors. I wouldn't be surprised if the factory still offers this. Maybe you could talk them into replacing the fixed power cord with a socket that would allow for an after market cord.
CONRAD JOHNSON MV50 Owners, anyone outthere?
Hi
I have one of these old babys in my main system and I love the way it sound.
The sweet,warm and relax sound it delivers.
Year after year I refuse to sell it and buy another tube amplifier, although all my friends said that im crazy and this guy belong to the past.
So, last night, I was wondering how many people outthere use it today in his main stereo system?
And also if anybody has made some capacitors and other type of upgrade like the ones that partsconexxtion offers?
Well, lets see how many MV50s are living and kicking today...
