Repair or mod CJ PV-12?

I am amazed at how often this so-called "Audiophile Grade" stuff fails. And Audiophiles, being gluttons for punishment, always come back for more.

Cut your losses and Just drop that useless thing off at Goodwill, and get you a Marantz Integrated or Harman Kardon Receiver. And don't forget Emotiva!! Trane, Miles and his Mama, will still sound just as good.

One Frenchman's Opinion.

Any item with the CJ name, or any other name, on the face plate, reflects on that company. Why would they trust the skills of anyone that requests a repair part. Because once you screw it up, it's still a CJ pre-amp. Esp considering you may then sell it to someone else. Good way to lose your reputation.

The safest bet is to stick with the so-called lo-fi stuff. It never breaks.

Of course, there is always the chance it ain't the transformer, or at least, not only the transformer. :) Your USAF skills notwithsdtanding.

BTW, recently got the Oppo 103. The only disc player you will ever need. Watched 'GRAVITY' last night. The best special effects ever!
