Upgrading a CJ PV-10A

I had a PV10A and replaced the high voltage caps in the power supply. However, the originals were just starting to show their age and the unit wasn't as quiet as when I first acquired it. In fact, it actually had started generating hash in the near-20KHz range (above what I can hear - I need to thank my son for pointing that out). I got the replacement caps straight from CJ and they made a prompt improvement in sound quality. These models are now in the fifteen year old range and replacing those HV caps probably isn't a bad idea.

I recommend you have a conversation with Bill Thalmann at Music Technology in Springfield, Virginia. Bill is a highly talented and skilled technician who has done a lot of superb work on equipment across the entire c-j line. You will be in good hands.

I second Rushton's opinion.Bill was a Chief Senior Engineer at Conrad-Johnson for many years so he knows the best where they cut corners.When i was upgrading my unit,i got raving reccomendations from CJ tech guys themselves.
Be prepared for several weeks wait though because Bill got his hands full but at the end you'll be rewarded.

My thanks to all. I will give Bill a call.
