Conrad Johnson Premier 10 noise problems

Sounds like a dirty pot. Get yourself some Caig De-oxit.
One quick blast and your volume control should be nice and
quiet again.

Just call CJ in Fairfax VA. They will know exactly what it is and either instruct you on how to fix it yourself or you can send it to them for repair. They are very helpful. If you live in the Phladelphia area, Bob Backert is a CJ repair expert with 30 years experience. He can even give you his own remarkable mods at reasonable cost making that Premier 10 sound way better than it does now.
