Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap?


Does anyone have experience or educated knowledge on if it makes sense to recap these.  I've owned them for 6-7 years but at this point they are getting to be 20+ years old and was wondering if there would be benefit.  I've read somewhere CJ doesn't really like to do recaps on old gear so looking for some guidance.  Costs?

@rubicon15 I cannot figure out how to find or get to the cj group you mentioned. I live in Tampa Fl so you are correct… super expensive to ship 2 ways. Only tech I’m aware of in our area is called Proaudio and I do believe they do good work. I will likely approach them but wanted to be able to give them direction (based off of advice here) on what to quote on.

Hey thank you for that. Actually I just got the amp back last week.  Had the 8 large electrylytic caps replaced by ProAudio here in Tampa for just over $500.  I haven't had a lot of time for listening yet but I do know the reliability should be vastly improved.  Preamp I decided to leave alone unless told otherwise as I found out there isn't much in there that would need replacing.  I have a pair of Tekton Pendragon speakers I'm looking to sell (just too big for my space and I'm anticipating a move in near future) in black, no grills that are about 5 yrs old if you know anyone interested.  Need $850 firm for them.  I'll try to check out the show.
