Conrad Johnson PV10A Mods/upgrades

Hey everyone..

I'm looking to get both my CJ PV10a preamp and MF200 solid state amp refurbished and upgraded. I've read several recommendations for Bill Thalmann and Bob Backert... who both seem to do excellent work! I was hoping to reach out to you all and see if anyone could chime in and help me decide who to go with? I'm leaning towards Bill Thalmann as he was technical director for 25 years at Conrad Johnson.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You may want to check out http://www.conradjohnsononwers.com. It's a forum site dedicated soley to Conrad Johnson owners. It's new but membership seems to be growing and it's a nice place to have a place for CJ owners to congregate. Also, you may want to post this issue there and get some feedbacks as the readership will be completely made of CJ owners.

I use a PV-12 and love it. I have listened to the PV-10 as a demo and it had a wonderful sound as well.

Yeah Bill Thalmann charged my friend $10 per diode to upgrade his amp plus labor. The diodes cost less then $2.00 each. Gee Thanks! Upgrades are only one way to go but just swapping out parts do not mean you are getting the best out of your equipment most likely just a change in sound.

I just noticed I misspelled the site in my previous post. It's www.conradjohnsonOWners.com. Sorry about the mistake.
