Bob Backert / RHB Conrad Johnson Mods?


Hey,

Anyone have their CJ gear modded by Bob Backert? I'm thinking of hiring his company to mod my CJ PV12 with phono stage and I wonder whether anyone's had this done. If so, does the sound completely change or does it retain some of the CJ character from that era? What did you gain? Did you lose anything? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I have very little space so having the phono preamp and "regular" preamp in one box is nice.
I think I'll stick with Backert. I've read some very positive things about his work on CJ equipment and his special power supply is intriguing (he invented and patented a whole new kind of power supply). Also, I can drive my gear to his shop fairly easily as I'm relatively close to his shop.

I'm sure Hamad does a good job too though.
