If you love it get it fixed, upgrading would be better yet. Along with Backers Labs, Bill Thalmann of Music Technology along with Conrad Johnson, all can do the repairs and upgrades which would be well worth the investment on a vintage CJ pre.
Need recommendation for replacement of Vintage Conrad-Johnson PV-11 preamp.
My vintage Conrad-Johnson preamp developed a problem wherein the right channel is louder than the left. I changed all the tubes and the problem went away -- for two days.
Now it's back. I'm wondering if it's worth fixing or whether I should get a new or used preamp.
i LOVE the sound of it when it's functioning properly.
If I can't get it fixed, can anyone recommend a preamp that might have the same qualities of a vintage Conrad-Johnson?
